Hear Ye, Hear Ye....

Or is it Here Ye, Here Ye? I'm not sure. And I don't really care..

The other day we had my parents and Zach's Dad and Step-Mom over for Father's Day. I made a DELISH meal for every one. And I have to say, I was quite proud of myself. And to quote my mother 'I'm kind of impressed; and I'm a semi-professional'. I don't know why this cracked me up, but it did. My mom is an amazing cook and for her to be impressed is flattering.

Anyways, the point I am trying to make while patting myself on the back is that my mom asked when I was going to start blogging again. I almost told her I had, but I am just not ready yet. I want to have some improvements made before I tell everyone I am writing again. But I do love the fact that she loves my posts.

I also thought about what I really want this blog to be about. And I figured I just needed to give a forewarning to those who may read it eventually one day. Which also means this forewarning will be posted wayyy down the blog before someone gets to it (apparently I plan on doing some serious blogging) and kind of defeats the purpose of a forewarning..but whatever..

When I first started this blog over a year ago, Zach and I were living/working/life-being-consumed at the seminary. I felt like I really had to hold back on how I felt about some things or even my sense of humor (which for the most part is dirty). I like to say certain cuss words because, dammit (see what I did there?), sometimes it gets the point across better. I like to have a glass of wine without getting threatened to be fired, my husband expelled, and evicted. (This will be a whole blog post in itself in the future....). My New Orleans post would have been WAY more entertaining had I talked about the 11 AM daiquiris, the piano bar that wouldn't play Clarence Carter's 'Strokin' (but played Ce-Lo's 'F*** You'; makes no damn sense), and the 3 AM morning we stumbled into our hotel room. I definitely would have been fired over all of that! But mostly, I like being myself. And I just felt like I couldn't be when I first started writing and that is why I didn't for about year.

So consider yourself warned. I may drop a few cuss words. I may even drop the F bomb if I so feel the need (more than likely not; simply because the only person I try not to offend is my mother and she does not care for the f word). I will NEVER say GD (I think the F word is mild compared to that..). I will talk candidly about my husband and allll aspects of being married, and I will talk about having a drink here and there. But this will definitely be my outlet on my weight loss. Even if no one ever reads this, and I never get the balls to tell anyone about it; it is there for the interwebs to see and somehow makes me feel like I am being held accountable.

What I won't talk about is politics. I have my views, and I feel strongly about them, but it is probably my least favorite thing to discuss so it probably won't happen. I probably won't talk much about religion. While yes, I am a Christian, and quite proud to be one, I want this to be lighthearted. There may be times this comes up but it won't be often. But do know, if YOU ever have questions about your faith, I would love to talk to you one on one. My faith is very exciting to me.

So if I have already offended you (I'm looking at the person who tried to get me fired for having a glass of wine) then go ahead and close your Internet browser because I don't really give a shit!

OH! And I do plan on having lots of pictures...You have been warned..

Love always,

Annie
