Me

I am new to this blogging thing. I sort of feel like that doofus person who throws a party. "What if no one shows up?" In my case, "what if I write and no one reads?" I'll start by telling you a bit about myself, and then I guess we'll see where this goes?

My name is Vanessa. I'm from Buffalo, NY. I have three dudes in the house:

Oldest Dude: He is 14 going on 30. Interested in girls, Xbox, and bike rides. Extremely forgetful. Oldest dude has always been super independent, so he is quite content to wander by himself. Helpful, patient, and snarky all at the same time.

Baby Dude: Yes, I know he is not a baby. But I called oldest dude my baby until he was ten! (I will never be ready for how fast my babies grow.) He is the ultimate snuggle bug. He is shy, but he is creative, and imaginative, and oh so loving. His best friend is oldest dude, which I love. (Oldest dude does too!)

Hubby Dude: We have been together for 16 years, and married for almost 7 now. We met when I threw peanuts at him at the restaurant that we used to work at. Two kids, and so many years later, and he is still my best friend. Well, unless he leaves the toilet seat up. Then it's war.

Spazzy, shaggy puppy: Enjoys stalking and killing all forms of stuffies, begging for food, and peeing on mommy's brand new pair of boots. Oh, and terrorizing any and all groomers. Seriously, do not come at him with a brush....or comb....or scissors...or clippers...... Beyond freaking terrified Scared of garbage bags.

And then there's me:

I'm a Disney stalker fan. Seriously. I want to live there. I fully believe I missed my calling as a princess. I like tattoos and books (and when I say books, I mean real books. There is something so satisfying about cracking the spine of a brand new book.) I'm probably the most rebellious book nerd you'll ever meet. I have turned into that crazy running friend who can only talk about mileage, tapering, or carb loading. (More on that later.) I am a silly, goofy, kid at heart, even with the odd grays popping up every once in a while. I'm an instagram fiend who still can't figure out twitter. Oh, and I bake. Like a lot. Fridays at work have become known as diabeetus Friday's.

If you're not snoring yet, hey hey, I'm on the right path! Hopefully I'll see you soon!
