Hi Everyone! My name is Velen. Due to some ridiculous, totally arbitrary deadline my friend Hannah set up for me, I have to “blog” about something by midnight tonight; otherwise I turn into a pumpkin or something like that. The thing is, I have no idea where to start…
I suppose I should give you some brief, yet possibly libelous description of myself. I am a lot like “The Nanny” in that I am the-lady-in-red-when-everybody-else-is-wearing-tan, I’m very flashy in a non-street-walker sort of way and I live in a postal code associated with Flushing! I am the kind of girl that lives in red lipstick and prefers vacuuming in high heels. I am not opposed to a woman taking charge but I single-handedly set back woman’s liberation every time I completely stop everything I’m doing to serve my husband Justin another beer while he scratches himself on the couch.
What else? Well, I am a joker, toker and midnight organizer. (Like, OMG- The Container Store and I are bff…aeaeae!!!) I was totally jk about the toker part, although I don’t judge! Whatever gets you through the day, I say!
Some causes I believe in include: 1. The environment and being as green as possible without stepping on Kermie’s TM! 2. Killing people…with kindness! Geez, I’m no George Bush. 3. Writing letters! It’s a lost art, and I am personally initiating the comeback! (I am talking actual postal correspondence, not that I don’t love staying in touch with the occasional ‘tweet’ but getting a physical letter or card in the mail always seems to make that pile of bills and junk mail just a little bit sweeter.) Viva la stamp!
And speaking of stamps, how bout that swine flu, huh? Glad this doesn’t have to be a vlog because it’s hard to talk through this medical mask…
Check back in daily…no, weekly?…monthly?...let’s just say periodically as I share some of my tips and tricks with you as well as some advice, recipes and a good rant here and there!
(I had come up with a valediction but I googled it and found 15 year old girls using the expression on their myspace pages so I'll stick to something so overly used and grossly popularized)
Your Mom!
jk :)
xoxo,
Velen
