you would know that... i am short: in height & in temper. i have never used a lawn mower in my life. ever. i am not trendy by any stretch of the imagination. i'm trying, though. i have done some dumb shit in my life. really dumb, y'all. i cuss. a lot. sometimes, i feel ignored on my blog & the twit. honestly, though? i'm okay with that. i have very few friends that i would trust with my life. VERY few. i've been wondering whether or not the shenanigans have to end...you know, now that i'm thirty-five. please say they don't. i think glitter nail polish is the devil. but i still wear it. i am a really bad housewife. i procrastinate. hell, sometimes i even procrastinate about procrastinating. yeah, it's that bad. i am disorganized. i honestly don't know how i … [Read more...]
halfway up the hill.
i turn thirty-five next week. that seems weird to type. even weirder that i typed the number out rather than just typing this: 35. thirty-five. ugh. that's halfway up the hill. i'm not quite over the hill. just yet. i remember when thirty-five felt so old. oh, who am i kidding, i'm nearly five years to 40. that is old. of course, when i finally turn 40 i'm sure i'll be saying it's the new thirty. but, back to thirty-five... i'm not quite sure i'm ready for it. i know, like it or not, that's the age i'll turn next week, but quite honestly i don't think i'm ready to grow up just yet. not now. but maybe by the time i turn forty. … [Read more...]
you’ll probably think less of me when i tell you that…
i've never watched an episode of teen mom, the bachelor, the bachelorette, gossip girl, or any of the other shows that y'all talk about. housewife what? baby daddy who? red rose where? yeah, i am that girl who is not up to speed with the latest {and greatest?} on television. i've never used a lawn mower. ever. i don't even know how to start one. and? i have no desire to learn. ever. i do not grill. don't get me wrong, i love grilled foods, but you won't ever catch ME doing the grilling. just like the lawn mower thing, i have NO desire to learn how to ignite or cook on a grill. my only grilling responsibility is to ask adam {about eight million times} if he's turned off the gas. i don't clean my house on the regular. this sounds bad, but it's really not. … [Read more...]
yo!
this morning, i'm linking up with neely as a way to pimp out my {new & improved} blog. i recently left blogger for wordpress which means i said goodbye to gfc and, i'm sure, a lot of readers as well {because i'm honestly not sure if people actually started subscribing via rss}. so, here's some info about me... my name is michelle, but you can call me shell. just don't call me shelly. i've never been a shelly & i don't ever plan on being a shelly. {no offense to any gals named shelly.} {i wish we were still this young! the picture is from 2002.} i'm married to a goofball named adam. i'll write about our love story tomorrow {so i can link up with from mrs. to mama}. we celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary this month. we have two kids - malia & … [Read more...]
so it’s like this…
{source}andrea's post got me thinking.envy & jealousy have once again reared their ugly heads {i'm totally convinced they are in cahoots with that witch, aunt flo}. i'm honestly not sure why because i am happy. my life is certainly far from perfect at the moment, but content is - indeed - a great word to describe me.i suppose some of the coveting & yearning comes from the fact that i'm not at the level of certain people. i probably won't ever be. no, scratch that, i know i won't ever be. why? because that's not who i am.money seems so disposable, doesn't it? well, maybe if you have a crap ton of it. when you're making it work on one income, you come to realize that money is precious. it seems frivolous to spend it on mortgage-priced purses and designer shoes {that will give you … [Read more...]
