The Single Chick is here, baby!!!

Hello everybody!!!

If you are reading this, let me welcome you to my crazy, fantastic, interesting, exciting, and often times neurotic and comical life!!  Allow me to introduce myself:  I am a mother/manager/aspiring writer/hopeless romantic/dreamer/creator/did I already say writer?/eternal optimist/practical joker/etc., etc., etc.  Basically I have entirely too many thoughts going on at any given time so I needed to find some place where I could get them all out AND get comments about them!  I was born to blog (even though when I was born there weren't even COMPUTERS yet!  Yes...I'm that old...don't judge me!) because writing has been my passion literally since the 1st grade.  I wrote my first paper and my then teacher (Ms. Nicolosi) read my paper and said:

"Who helped you write this?"  as she eyed me rather suspiciously, I might add.  And I answered in my innocent 7-year-old voice:

"I did.  All by myself."  And after she read more of my writing (and was satisfied I wasn't scamming it from somewhere) I became her "favorite little author" and was asked to write all kinds of things for the class.  My favorite part was when my writing was read for the class and I got to see the reasons to my thoughts.  Hence my desire to blog because this is like my 1st grade equivalent to sharing my thoughts all over again!  :)

Now you might be asking yourself, why would I even want to follow this blog?  Who is this chick anyway?  And how do I know she can hold my interest?  Well...unfortunately, since I'm not Cleo and can't see into the future (well...actually, neither could Cleo because wasn't she just faking being Jamaican and isn't she locked up now or something?), I can't tell you for sure that you will be interested in my posts.  But I will say if you are living your life on a budget (or let's face it...from check to check!), if you've ever been in love and been hurt like hell, if you've ever wondered why in the heck you are always the ONLY single woman in the room, if you wish you could shop with abandon but that damn light bill just won't go away, if you've ever wondered why when intelligent women get together the topic ALWAYS eventually turns to men and weight, and if you are in a career but dream of living a totally different life that you WISH you pursued right out of college, then I may have some thoughts for you that will not only tickle you, but also enlightend and inspire (well...maybe not the inspire part, but I thought that would be a good thing to say...)

So if you're up for being entertained with wit, and unapologetic humor and candor, sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey of The Single Chick!
