Hopefully these posts will have less time between them in the future, but we’ve been in survival mode over here as Baby K is getting her first teeth!

I started working on this post a week ago, but couldn’t bring myself to publish it because it didn’t feel “cohesive”. But darn it all, that just seems to be the theme of my life. Not a bad thing; just delightfully random. I’m not a very cohesive person and I’m learning to be okay with that. I have my hands in lots of different pots as far as dreams and interests go.

Right now I have 19 different tabs open on my web browser (they are divided between three different windows by relevance…they may be random, but they’re categorized #OCDdieshard). Among them are “How to Rehabilitate Water Kefir Grains”, Pinterest goodness for the “busy boxes” I’m making for Sweet Girl T, recipes for cloth wipe solutions, DIY natural cheek and lip stain and building plans for this adorable table and chairs! (not to be made until AFTER I finish restoring the bentwood rocker I snatched from the neighbors’ trash, as per my husband’s request).

There it is. A glimpse into the all-over-the-map workings of my mind and days. Here’s a glimpse into the Myers-Briggs definition of why that may be: I’m a mother-lovin’ ENFP. And, just in case your curious or like filling out forms like I do (see, I told you–raaaaannnnndom), you too can let a computer analyze you: What Are You? *

I’m sure there will be one-subject posts made on this blog, but more likely than not they’ll be a little bit random, just like little ol’ me. Enjoy! **

*So, what are you? I’d love to know if I have any ENFP sisters or brothers floating around out there!

**Dinner tonight. Just do it. Your tastebuds will thank me. Slow Cooker Carnitas with Pico De Gallo and Guacamole and Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies (don’t knock it ’til you try it!)

First off, let me just say…

Welcome, welcome! Well, here we are. Just the two of us… Ok, I’ll go first. Here are a few little tidbits about yours truly to kick off this blog thing:

1. I’m 25 years old.
2. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but raised in the woods of North Florida.
3. I am deathly afraid of lizards.
4. I grew up in the wrong state.
5. I’m the oldest of four pk’s (if you don’t know what a pk is, you’re not one).
6. I used to think my hands were grossly disproportionate to the rest of my body.
7. I had many OCD tendencies as a kid (at friends’ houses, I would clean their rooms when they went to the bathroom…shhhhh).
8. I was on the girl’s weightlifting team in high school…yay for personal bests!
9. I changed my major 5 times in college–started out in Graphic Design and ended up in Social Psychology.
10. I started dating my hunk of a husband in September of 2007 and eloped with him that December.
11. I’ve given way too much important news to my parents over the phone.
12. If I’m upset about something, I avoid eye contact.
13. As far as imagination goes, my brain still works like a first grader’s.
14. I don’t care about football, but since moving to Texas, I have this strange urge to yell “Go Horns!” whenever I see the color orange.
15. I have two daughters, T and K, born two years and one day apart.
16. I love to sing.
17. I have a hypothesis that if you like the movie “What About Bob?”, we’ll be friends.
18. I love coffee shops, but I hate coffee.
19. I love making lists.
20. I love meeting new people, so feel free to introduce yourself!!!!

We can do virtual coffee! …or tea. Oh, who am I kidding. I’ll probably just be cheap and get a cup of water.

See you soon!
