the first one.

let me begin by saying that i do not bother with capital letters and take liberties with my punctuation, but my spelling will hopefully always be correct. if you find that it isn't, please make me aware.

i am a southern girl from a small town but don't take that to mean i am a redneck... although i am sure there is a tiny bit in there somewhere. my husband's wardrobe does not include camoflage, i am not obsessed with nascar, nor will you find a presetting for country music on my stereo, but we have plenty of friends and family that love all those things and we love them for our differences. how boring would the world be if everyone chose to live their life the same way? we do however drive trucks, drink beer (not at the same time) and raise some hell on friday nights. i pride myself in being able to mingle at the local bars then dine with the well-to-do the next day and i throughly enjoy both.

i have much more sympathy for animals than i do most people and because of this we now have a grand total of 3 dogs & 4 cats. ridiculous... yes i know, but i blame it on the losers that don't believe in spaying and neutering their pets, then drop the unwanted kittens or puppies out on my road. i imagine there are many blogs to come on the subject of animals.

i am known for my bluntness in some circles, so i truly hope that none of my friends take offense to anything that i may say in this blog or in the future. we don't have to agree on everything to love one another. that is a statement that the whole human race should think about a bit more often.

yesterday i turned 31 and next week it will be the year 2010 so i just felt the need do to a little something new in my life. not sure what will become of this... probably nothing, but maybe... just maybe, i will be one of the lucky few that makes a couple bucks for sharing my opinions.
