The GIRL in the Glasses

I’m Blogdramedy and this is my blog. Yes, that’s me to your right…the one in the sunglasses.

Excuse me? Oh…you need more than that. Is this like homework? Do I have to write an essay?

Fine. Fine. Give me a minute.

Okay. Well, first of all I’m a bit fussy. I admit that. I’m also a bit sarcastic. Oh…you’ve noticed that already? Phew, glad that’s over with. You never know how people are going to react and I’d rather you find out sooner than later. I do try to keep it in check but sometimes I forget to hit the pause button.

For many years I worked in public relations but I got tired of putting words in everyone else’s mouth (and hearing them come out all mangled) and it got really boring hearing myself say, “Yes, I know you wish that the media would just write what you tell them to write but they’re funny that way.” And, “No, I can’t put a ‘good spin’ on this. You lied and they know you lied. So now the lie is the story.” And, “Did you use the talking points I gave you? The ones I finished at 4am this morning so you’d have them in time for the news conference? Oh…you thought you could just wing it. Well, that worked well.”

I think you get my point. I decided that it was time to do something different. So I quit. Then the Mister decided to retire early (he calls it “taking a break”) and we sold up and moved back to his hometown to a little cottage by the bay. And then…we did what we always said we’d do…we went sailing down to the Bahamas. For eight years we had a grand time. In the spring of 2011 we decided it was time to sell the boat. Why? We’ve had enough of the wet & wild and are looking for a bit of the dry & dusty…as in road trips! *big grin*

So what have you learned about me so far? I’m a sarcastic married slacker former sailor. What else do you need to know?

I love words but I’m a lousy Scrabble player. Go figure.

I love my coffee so much we brought our espresso maker on board the boat.

I have a daughter who also worked in communications…she has since seen the light and is now a certified yoga instructor.

I can dance your ass off.

I’m seriously thinking about getting a tattoo.

I make bread…yes, from scratch.

I don’t cook. That’s what the Mister is for.

I like crunchy peanut butter.

I like Coke (the kind that goes in a glass, not up your nose.)

If I was American I’d be a Democrat.

I’m a news and politics junkie.

I don’t have cable. I’m all about the Internet, baby.

I don’t believe in god. I respect those who do..as long as they respect that I don’t.

I support gay rights…to the point of being accused of being scared of straight people. *head shake* (This one is a blog-worthy gem.)

I’m pro-choice and not just for abortion.

I like Twitter…but I won’t discriminate against those who don’t.

I think most people are basically good. It’s the insane ones you have to watch out for.

I’m very nice. Ask anyone.

Now you want to know about the Mister? He’s tall, dark and handsome. He loves me. He cooks. What more do you need to know?
