I have wanted to have a blog for many years and for some reason, this was the time I decided to jump in, head first. I did blog at some point in the past when it was cool, but not for very long. This is a bit late in the game but whatever. I’m not one of the cool kids as you’ll soon figure out.
Writing is easier for me than talking which may be surprising to those who know me irl. When I talk, I talk way too much, say stupid things, regret it, and my weird brain will remind me about it decades later when I’m trying to sleep. Conversations I’ve had with people will just play in my head, which apparently does not happen to everyone. Recently, I’ve been hearing about people who have no inner monologue which is just shocking to say the least. As much as I want the inner monologue to shut up sometimes, I cannot imagine what silence would be like in there!
My hope for this blog is to share information, recipes, stories, ideas and to create and build a bit of a community. Also, I’m trying out affiliate marketing. I guess you and I both will find out whether I am successful at any of that here in a few months. I have bigger dreams too but for now those are the goals. I hate “failing” (what I perceive as failure anyway) but the older I get and the more hair that falls out and the more wrinkles I get, the less I care about failure. God doesn’t want me to live in fear anyway.
Check out the first official post after this if I can figure out how to use WordPress. (I’ve never felt more like a Boomer than I do right now navigating this.) That post, will have nothing to do with being crunchy and may very well be the opposite of crunchy. But it saves money and is a treat that makes me happy.
My birthday is this month. For many years, my frugal family and I have been getting all kinds of birthday freebies from restaurants, stores, fast food and websites- everything from ice cream to full meals. So check that post out here (<–no idea how to hyperlink yet).
