Me

I'm writing a blog.

And this is my first post.

I'm not a phenomenal writer. I use short sentences. I like words like neat and nifty. I used to write when I was younger, maybe I can do it again.

I'll give you insight on me...twenty-five things.

1. I married at 18. Nearly 13 years later and I'm still happy.
2. I am a mom. I have four smart, beautiful children.
3. I have a job I love and I truly care about the people I work with.
4. But I secretly dream of creating amazing cakes for a living.
5. I love my family. I don't tell them very often because I'm not a mushy person, but I do.
6. I was the first one to hold my niece when she was born. This forever connected us.
7. I don't have a preference for my name. It really doesn't matter if you say Sam or Samantha or Sambo...just don't say Sammy.
8. Deep down I'm just a silly girl who loves chick flicks.
9. And contrary to what most believe I do cry. Just NEVER at work.
10. I believe that ice cream can fix most anything.
11. I miss tapes and Polaroid cameras.
    
12. But I'll never be nostalgic for payphones.
13. I don't know everything, I know that.
14. I can't swim, but I love the ocean.
15. I think people who don't crave cereal at night are odd.
16. I like cheesy disaster movies with poor editing.
17. I love books, I just don't like to read them.
18. I made a song for each of my kids that I only sing to them.
19. I aspire to be great.
20. I'm an optimist.
21. I prefer board games and reruns to going out.
22. I overly fret about my children out-growing me.
23. I love the idea of shopping, but I hate the disappointment of it.
24. I prefer paper and Sharpie pens to computers.
25. I don't have a favorite holiday, color, food, movie, song, book or shirt. I think it's unrealistic to choose and I just don't feel like it.
