and I’m a shopaholic. I’m a momaholic. I’m a homebodyaholic. I might be a cookieaholic..and someone somewhere might tell you I am a vegetableaholic.

The Humpty Dance lyrics pop into my head. “So just let me introduce myself
My name is Humpty, pronounced with a “umpty”.. and I’ll stop chair dancing..ok NOW you see where the random come in.

I am 40. I grew up and have spent 99.9% of my life in Montana. I will never complain about being in Montana. I love the plains because you can see from one side of the world to the other, I love the mountains because of the smell and the feeling of being small, I love the waters, fresh and clear, I have a love hate with the wind but darn it if doesn’t clear our beautiful skies, I loathe driving in the winter but that is because my commute to work is 58 miles and usually the snowplows aren’t out very far ahead of me. If I get to stay home and enjoy the sparkle of snow then I’ll even admit I love that a little too. If you aren’t from here depending on where you are in the Big Sky state you might have to find that love, but you will if you try hard enough.

I am a career woman in a mans world. I am a mother of teenagers. I am a dog mom. I am a daughter, a sister, a sister-in-law, a cousin, and an aunt. I am a friend. I am a wearer of resting bitch face. I am also full of smiles. I am the struggler of workouts. I am a lover of creating food. I am a hostess. I am quiet. I want quiet music one minute and loud the next. I am a crier when I am angry. I am always learning. I am human.

I thrive on accomplishments. Laughter fills my heart. Seeing others succeed is energizing. I am just me.. is that not all we can ask of ourselves? I am sure I am missing something fabulous about myself but again.. I am human.

Nice to meet you.

XO

Shit, I remembered something cool about me.. I can STILL after many many years say the alphabet backwards at a rather impressive speed.
