Introducing.... Where Ish Gets Real, Y'all.

So I've been around the blog world for quite a while now.  I wrote very personal, and if I'm being honest... attacking, things on it.  When I wised up I decided to delete the blog entirely.  BUT.  I've been following TONS of amazing people across the country.

It's strange, honestly.  This blog community where you learn who people are and what makes them tick, just by listening.  I think that is why a lot of bloggers begin to blog in the first place.  It is an outlet.  I plan for this to be my outlet. 

Ok, so, the title?  It's all me.  I cuss like a sailor when not at work and try to keep it PG when I am being "a professional" (whatever THAT means).  So I improvised.  Most people probably know that "ish" is a code word for shit.  If ya don't know, now ya know.  I am from eastern North Carolina, where y'all, ain't and pig pickin' are terms used quite frequently so I, of course, wanted to have some part of the title point to my southern, east coast, Carolina roots.  Speaking of Carolina.... know right off the bat that I am a diehard NC State fan and I don't own anything Carolina blue (and NEVER will).  More on this topic later.  I digress.  So back to the title...

I, like most other people in the world now, am on Facebook and have been since its inception.  That would be 2003.  When it was just for college students.  When I could post things about me getting wasted face, or talk ish about people passive-aggressively.  The pictures... Oh God the pictures.  I cleaned all of that up a while back.  It takes a LONG time to delete those things from your past, by the way.  Now for me, Facebook is a time killer.  It's not really where I connect with people anymore.  Occasionally I will see info that interests me, but mainly it is a waste of time.  People aren't real on Facebook anymore.  Everyone, myself included, is scared to be themselves and paint anything other than a perfect picture of how their life is.  So this blog is where ish gets real.  Where I AM going to speak my mind, tell my point of view.  And this is what I say to haters:

 And for the action shot... Friends Fist Bump Collage.

I am also going to be posting things like recipes, Pinterest projects that I actually complete, and house project photos.  Don't worry though, I'm not a fashionista so no posts on colored stockings.  I am currently wearing leggings and an oversized shirt thing.  I look kind of like this:

Except I'm not a Victoria's Secret model BY ANY MEANS.  I was actually looking for a full length shot of Abby Lee Miller, but to no avail.

 

 

You'll be learning more about me and I hope to learn more about you.  If there are any of you out there!

 

Until next time...
