First posts are the hardest

So,
I'm sitting here thinking to myself,  "you wanna be a blogger now?!"

i'm not entirely sure that this is a good idea, but what the heck. i'm not as funny as Allie Brosch, nor as irrevereant as The Oatmeal. I don't draw cool funny pictures, and i don't really want to make up internet quizzes.  

matter of fact, i'm just a single mom of two teenage girls who are sometimes difficult but almost always amazingly awesome. and i'm an Evil Capitalist Merchant of Death (herein referred to as ECMOD for ease of typing).

I like to cook and shoot guns and sell things. I have begun to like gardening, which suprises me somewhat, and is rather difficult to do on the upstairs patio of a semi-urban apartment.

i don't use my shift key very often and i'm awful about remembering to capitalize things. deal.

I have worked in numerous industries, everything from selling Tupperware to telemarketing Olan Mills Portrait Packages up in Washington state, back a million years ago when i was a Navy wife. i've worked at Chuck E Cheese and worked in a pawn shop in a seedy neighborhood in Birmingham, AL.   At the moment, i sell firearms and related doo-dads at the wholesale level to a bunch of stores all over the country. I work for a great company, with some awesome customers and some coworkers who, at least most of the time, i don't want to kill.

I have a guy i like who i don't get to see often enough, but i don't think i'm ever really cut out for a serious long-term relationship. Having been married and divorced twice, i think i'm about over that particular ride.

And, i am a self-avowed coffee slut.

coffee is life. coffee is awesome. coffee is what keeps me alive and somewhat sane, and able to face Mondays.

There are k-cups in my linen closet, but that is fodder for another post, another day. It took a long journey of coffee-induced madness to get me to that stage...    :)


So, here i am. blogging and stuff.

i think this means that i have officially lost my mind, but who knows? maybe i'll get to be famous and rule the interwebz someday.   :)
