WELCOME TO BIRTH OF AN <lazy> INFLUENCER

I began this blog as a form of therapy for myself. It was 2019. I found out my husband of 10 years had been unfaithful to me and my world as I knew it fell apart. 

​

 Anyway, if you go back far enough in my posts, you can read all about it. 

​

I'm an open book in case you can't tell by my content. Never ask me a question you do not want the answer to because I am a terrible liar. I wear my heart on my sleeve. 

​

Spoiler alert: I'm happy again. I have once again been lucky in love and I sincerely hope third time is the charm. 

​

As a result of this happiness, my blog has evolved. I sometimes talk about the mundane. I sometimes show off my home decor or home improvement projects. Sometimes I'm crafty. 

​

What I am most emphatically NOT is an influencer. I have never thought I was and I am far too lazy to try to be one now. The title of my blog dates back to a trip to New York when a photo of me in Times Square led to a sunglass company asking me to be one of their ambassadors. I laughed because at the time I only had a little over 100 followers. Here we are 4 years later and I still have less than 200 followers on Instagram. 

​

What else? I am a mother to identical twin young men, I have one step-son, and 3 lovely German daughters via exchange programs. I currently have one dog (Mister Manfred) and two cats (Lily and Shadow) that I inherited when I married my wonderful husband. My hobbies are needle felting, paint by numbers, reading (I'll read just about anything but my favorites are autobiographies/biographies, Christopher Moore, and the Harry Potter franchise), watching TV/movies (I'll watch just about anything - current addiction: cult documentaries), and throwing dinner parties. Like Superman, I get my strength from the sun and can frequently be found in or around a body of water. Often with a tasty beverage in hand. 

​

I was a wedding planner/day of coordinator/officiant  for nearly 10 years in the Austin area until...well that feels like a blog post. My most recent employment history is mortgage loan processor but I was laid off a few months ago (April 2023) so I currently have a lot of time on my hands. 

​

If there's anything else you would like to know, just ask. And thanks for reading. <3
