The purpose of my blog is to be a place where I can come and share the quirks, quips, and quotes of my daily life. That is what it is now and that is what it was when I started blogging.
It's a place where I thought my friends and family could come and "hang out" if you will and be entertained by my quirks, quips, and quotes.
I thought it was also a place for me to be silly and entertaining and to be entertained by my friends and loved ones.
I love the blogments and the karaoke updates. I love that even if I haven't been to visit my blog that my friends have seen fit to visit with each other in blogments and that my mom visits and prints out my stories for friends and co-workers and that Nemo prints out the karaoke updates for the friends that don't have computers.
I love knowing that we are all connected through my blog. I love reading them days, weeks, and months later. They are a sense of pride and joy to me.
I have been told that I have a way of bringing out the humor in a situation that isn't necessarily funny.
This is my forum. This is my therapy. This is my way of taking the big bad wolf out for a joy ride.
This is my way of staying connected with each and everyone of you so that if I don't have time for individual notes or emails or phone calls that you know why and you can share in my joys and my sorrows, my ups and downs.
My hope is that maybe you get a giggle out of how I phrased something, or something touches you because you can see it through my eyes and it evokes.
Please know that I care and this is why I blog. I send pictures of what is going on in my world so that you can see and enjoy and know that I wish you were here with me or that I was there with you.
There is a line from a TV show, "You should see what I see..." and that fits. I want you to be able to smell the flowers in my world. I need to be connected to the part of me that isn't me; my friends, my family, the strangers that like how I put words together on my computer screen.
A wise woman once told me that I only need to defend myself if I am in a court of law. I think of that often, because there are times when I am called upon to defend my actions to a loved one, a friend, or even a stranger when I am not in a court of law. I am not being compelled to defend by any sense of justice or law. Often I want an opportunity to say, that isn't what I mean, or tell them what I am thinking or what my motivation is so they know my thoughts, feelings, or emotions behind an action.
Often, this leads to debate, arguments, bickering, and other negative actions. I am not proud of my behavior in these instances. I will be 36 in four weeks and I still have a hard time not letting a defense turn into a offense. As another wise person once told me, "Just because someone throws offense, doesn't mean you need to take offense."
I do not usually blog about this kind of daily hoohah. There are many instances of it because I have many personalities and identities. I am a mother, friend, sister, daughter, partner, and co-parent, and that's on a slow day. I try to blog as positive therapy, to get the taste of the moment right. Sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't help.
I would hope that all of my family and friends know that if you have something to say to me, that I would appreciate you saying it to me either by phone, email, or in person. If you have a negative issue with me, I would hate to see my blogment area used to voice your displeasure with me and my behavior. If you have an issue you would like to discuss with me, please do so privately.
It humiliates and embarrasses to me to read negative things I believe should be discussed in private in my blogments. I am going to follow the wise woman's advice. I don't need to defend myself. I did nothing that I am ashamed of. I did nothing that broke a law. I did nothing that violated a trust. I did not in any way put myself in a position to be thought of any less than what I am.
I am and continue to be what I have been all along: Kimmy of the quirkie, quippie, quotie life. Kimmy: mother, friend, sister, daughter, partner, co-parent, zitch friend, ow!time pimp!, girl, woman, lover, productive, cook, chef, professional pancreas, taxi service, doctor, lawyer, indian chief, police, judge, jury, blogger.
Mr. & Mrs.
