Maybe I'll give this a try

I've been lovin' me some blogs lately, so I thought I'd give it a try. I don't think I'm a great writer and my life isn't incredibly interesting, but I thought this would be fun anyway...

I'll start by explaining my blog name - I've always found it funny/depressing that my name means "ill-omened" while others get to have meanings like "princess" or "noble meadow" - ok, that would be bad too, but not as bad as mine. Then the other day, while exploring a hippie bookstore, Jo found a book that tells you everything about you based on your birthday. My weaknesses - flighty and unaware. Duh. So I figured if I'm doomed to have bad luck forever, at least it is balanced with blissful ignorance.

Would you like an update on my life? Of course you would. If not, you wouldn't be reading. I'm currently living in the "sin pad" (my mother's name for my home) with a man who I love and admire. An incredibly long and gushy post could, and I'm sure someday will, be dedicated to him. The short version is that he makes me laugh, challenges me to be a better person, fought hard for our country and loves me like I've always wanted to be loved. The boring part is that I'm working as a speech therapist and trying to survive grad school. I don't really like those parts of my life so they will likely not show up here often.

I've learned from the blogs I love, that fun posts are short and not self centered and contain tons of photographs. Oh! I forgot, my inspiration for the blog are those that I love to read that happened to be filled with beautiful photographs. I've decided that I will live with my camera by my side, and I should have somewhere to put them. Hopefully this will be the last all-about-my-life blog.
