Ummmmmm it's me .... again

WELCOME 

So I have decided to try this blogging thing again. I know I have tried before and after like 3 posts I see something shiny and seems to wander off, I can't guarantee this wont happen again lol. I have deleted all my old posts and I am starting fresh. I originally started blogging about the weird and ignorant people I encounter on the midnight shift at work and I might still do that from time to time but have decided this time to make it a more general daily life blog about whatever is on my mind or going on in my life. 

A little about me for those of you who some how accidentally came across this and have been sucked in so far ... 

First of all let me say welcome and thank you for reading this far to begin with.

I am a lot of things (lol everyone has an opinion and what I am differs depending on who you talk to) but these are the adjectives I would use to describe myself ... funny, caring, artistic, emotional, extrovert, insecure, focused, and determined. Don't get me wrong I can be a bitch and sometimes a big emotional cry baby, but hey its who I am. 

I am also a single mother to a teenage daughter, that in itself is a challenge worthy of pulling out my hair sometimes. My daughter is my world, everything I do is for her. I live, breathe, and bust my ass to take care of my baby girl. 

I am a self taught artist. I enjoy any kind or creating but mostly dabble in creating mixed media projects, collage, and drawing abstract non realism complex doodles that are wonderful for the whole new coloring books designed for adults to color craze, and I actually sell digital downloads of my work but I will save those details for a blog post probably following right after this one :) 

About a year ago I started a life changing journey to lose weight. I have currently to date lost 65lbs by going to the gym several days a week and by watching what I eat. I do occasionally ditch the diet for a meal and eat normal food that is not low carb or low calorie but you have to treat yourself every once in a while ... I just like everyone else am not perfect.  

I live in Maryland and my daughter and I actually reside with my mom and step-dad, it works for us. We work as a true family unit and help each other. I have a lot of family who still live in state and actually see them every other week. My amazing grandfather we see usually every Sunday. on Sunday's we go to his house and do family dinner with him as well as help him chores around the house and take care of his shopping for the week and bring him prepared meals for the week. You see due to health issues my grandfather who has ALWAYS helps each and every one of us in the family out when we needed it is now the one who needs help sometimes and we are more than willing to do it. There are more times than I can ever mention that my grandpa has helped me out of a jam and no matter how grateful I am and how many times I have thanked him he will never truly be able to fully understand how much it has all meant to me. I really enjoy the time I spend with him, I love the talks we have and love it just as much just sitting together watching tv not saying a word, there is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for him. I also enjoy the weeks when my brother, his g/f and my nephews as well as my uncle and his wife come to dinner. I can get crazy, and loud, and sometimes chaotic but that's who we are. 

So my personal life ... love life ... ummm well that's ... I mean there is someone who I really like... and I am pretty sure he likes me but right now is just not a good time for building a romance I guess. 

So I think I have covered most of the intro bases but if there is something I forgot please feel free to let me know.
