Allow me to introduce myself...

A wee bit about me: I am an adopted, Irish, wife, ex-wife, girlfriend, mother, daughter, sister, friend, artist, neurotic, open-minded, honest, truth-seeking, non-exclusive, unique, and divine dork who immensely enjoys taking pictures and editing them, drawing, reading, talking to great people, cooking and listening to my husband create the perfect soundtrack to it all.

I have been ignoring my more creative side for years, just doing little projects here and there but never throwing myself into all that I have rattling around in my brain (which is an alarming amount and often so cluttered and chaotic that I frequently tuck tail and run… which has saved my life numerous times). So I find myself at a very unique time in my life and things are very uncertain. I have never had to trust and just take it one day at a time so much before in my life…no safety nets, no safety accounts, no plan B or C or even necessarily a plan A...and I'm down with that.

I have an eclectic past and a thing or two to say about it. It’s not always pretty, but I have nothing to hide so once in a while it will come out. If you don’t want to know, or are too “sensitive” to deal with some real-life issues then I caution you against any further reading. I will not be censored on my own page. I will be honest, myself, often blunt and hopeful that a few of you will be helped, uplifted, smile, cry, or do whatever the fuu…heck you need to do to be the healthiest, most whole person you can be…even if it takes making fun of my life or opinions in order to do it. I really try to not take myself so seriously. Most importantly, I am allowed to be wrong. I have relaxed my position on the need to be right and always appreciate updating my views in light of more education.

I am bored with America’s lack of common sense (or as we like to call it…uncommon sense). I am an early thirties woman on a mission; to impart my small bit of logic to a hopefully diverse group of unique and wonderful individuals who might be able to appreciate my sometimes biting and usually sarcastic take on life as we know it in modern day America… screw it, I’ll go off on America’s past too.

So, in the hopes of my introduction not turning into a rant, I will stop here and welcome you into this little corner of my life and closet. I hope you get something out of my Modern Day Rantings, and the art of a “Modern Day Mad Woman”.
