Probably the only people reading this right now are from my Facebook friends list. As you've all noticed, I get kinda . . . very . . . long-winded. I think maybe it would be to everyone's benefit that if instead of writing novels in Facebook statuses, I just put it all in a blog and people who like what I write can read it.
I intend to write about whatever the hell I want, so I'm not really in any blogger category. I guess people would probably call me a mommy blogger, but I don't think I'll only blather on about mom stuff. I might talk about politics, but I'm not a political blogger. I might go on strange tangents and sound like a jerk, and I'm not sure that's a category. So I guess I'm just a . . . Denise-blogger, and we'll leave it at that. I don't intend to update daily or weekly or whatever . . . just when I have stuff to get out that's longer than I assume people want to read in their news feeds.
For those who don't know me, or don't know me well, here's the basics of me:
As of this post, I'm 27 and live just outside of Charleston, South Carolina. I don't like it, but my husband has an awesome job here, so I'm trying to like it. It is very different from small-town Ohio where I grew up. Very different.
I have this husband-guy, David. He is seriously the tits, you guys. He is a big nerd. He is brilliant. He doesn't care much for most people and can win an argument even when he's wrong. He is also really awesome at the dad thing. I try to avoid derpy sayings like 'soulmate' but holy crap, this guy, he is the macaroni to my cheese and all that.
I have two children. Claire will be 4 on August 6th and Alan is 5 months, born January 4th of this year. They are really awesome. Alan is basically a little proto-person, so he hasn't developed into a full on individual yet - but so far, he is really sociable and happy. And a morning person. We aren't sure he's really ours. We may have stolen him. Claire loves superheroes, robots, space, animals, and being in the water. She has a great sense of humor and is smart as a whip. She has Sensory Processing Disorder - which I'll talk more about in other posts - and it is likely she'll get an official ADHD diagnosis in the coming years. Neither of these defines her, but it is a part of our lives.

I am a stay at home parent and I work from home. I hate acronyms, so I never call myself a 'SAHM' or a 'WAHM'. I have a relatively successful Etsy shop and might make some posts about it or about success on Etsy in general from time to time. Most of my stuff is Tolkien-themed.
I swear like a sailor and I intend on doing that here. Sorry if it offends you. I try to censor a bit on the facebooks, so here, I won't. This isn't meant to be a 'WHATEVA I DO WHAT I WANT LOL', just sort of a warning not to leave it open in case your kids might learn some new words courtesy of me.
I think that's it? Is that how you write a blog intro? AM I A BLOGGER NOW YOU GUYS?
Hey awesome person. You're pretty awesome.
