Hello from the other side (of my monitor)!

Hi, everyone ~ just peeking in to see what the site is all about. A friend offered me an invite yesterday and since I'm a take-life-by-the-balls kind of gal, I figured why not?!

Actually, I'm bored. Really, really bored. I'm laid up due to ankle surgery and have exhausted myself playing Candy Crush and watching reruns of Friends.

A little about me: I'm 41 and hold a degree in sociology (it's sitting on a shelf somewhere). I have 2 teenagers. Also three furbabies, although two of them are asshole cats who merely tolerate me living in the same house. Jerks. I've been married almost 17 years ->this is not so much an accomplishment as it is a testament of sheer stubborn will and determination.

Some things I like: journaling, hiking (when I can walk), creating stuff, binging on Netflix, tattoos, helping folks, being hilarious (I mean, it doesn't happen often, but when it does, I really like it!), all the dogs, and chillin' on the deck with my family talking like 'they' did in the good 'ol days.

I'm a simple soul with a complicated brain. I'm also entering that dreaded midlife stage. I don't know what this means, really, but I do feel a lot more chill these days, so there's that. I'm looking forward to trying this thing out and meeting new friends along the way.
