So, last week I was trying to update-- or maybe just revise my whole "about me" page here on the
old blog and I found it a little difficult to do.
I'd start and stop, erase it, start over.
Is that weird?
It feels dumb and uncomfortable and hard to write about myself like that.
I mean, obviously I talk about myself here all the time, but writing a summary of yourself is different.
So here is my new and improved(?) ME page... maybe it will give people just a little better idea
about who I am or what I am about besides just the surface basic things like; 'I Love Coffee' and
'I love My Family'. Obviously.
Hi there.
Wanna know just a little bit about me?
I married my sweet husband many, many years after he threw a beer bottle and accidentally
hit me in the head with it at a college party(he was in college, my young self was still in high
school). We started dating many years after that. It took a while to get past it.
True story.
If I didn't marry him I would have married Eddie Vedder.
We have two kids and went through a big, old infertility mess to get the first one.
Child #2 was a complete and total surprise. Wouldn't ya know?
I love music. Love, love, love, music...and art...and photography.

I love music. Love, love, love, music...and art...and photography.
And creative-type people.
And scratchy old records.
I love anything from The Cure to the Grateful Dead, Edith Piaf, Prince, Tom Petty, Dinah Washington,
And scratchy old records.
I love anything from The Cure to the Grateful Dead, Edith Piaf, Prince, Tom Petty, Dinah Washington,
Ryan Adams, Jay-Z and Fleetwood Mac...
with a little bit of everything else in between.
I love 80's movies and alternative 80's music.
I am a child of the 70's-- Volkswagen's, bell-bottoms, roller skates and love beads?
Yes, please!
Biggest struggles for me?
Weight and crazy anxiety + panic kind of stuff. Not fun. Neither of them.
If I could be anyone in a movie, who would it be?
Kate Hudson as Penny Lane in Almost Famous. Sigh.
I love anything old with chippy paint that tells a story.
Having my own Etsy shop is the perfect excuse to thrift, antique and rummage sail all the live-long
day. Best thing ever.
I like to take lots + lots + lots of pictures.
My Nikon is what I refer to as my "big camera", the rest are taken with my iphone.
I am mildly obsessed with Instagram, so much fun.
I live in Central Illinois with my husband, kids and 14-year old beagle, Phoebe.
We live in a 90+ year old house that is a work in progress...huge understatement. HuGe.
I am not the girl who always dreamed of her wedding day.
No fancy white dress for me, we got married in the backyard of our first house and I wore a blue dress.
Dive bar or dance club?
Dive bar! Dirty, dark, little dive bar with a really good jukebox and my best girlfriends.
Some may say I ama smart ass a tiny bit sarcastic, a little shy, a little crazy, a little creative,
a little sweet + a little not right.

I love my friends and family beyond measure.
I am passionate about keeping it real here on my blog and in real life... no pretending to be someone
I am not, no competing or keeping up with anyone.
This mama is way too old for that.
I do not care what everyone else is doing, here or in real life, I will usually be doing the opposite.
I really do dream of one day owning my own margarita machine.
And travelling cross-country with my family in a VW bus.
Dreamin' big, y'all.

Now I think you should leave me a totally random fact, fear, love, dream or confession about YOU.
Okay...GO.
Amy, it's too bad we don't live closer. We have so much in common.
ReplyDeleteWhen I start making the big bucks I'm going to buy you a margarita machine.
love this. this is such a fun "about me", way more exciting to read than most!
ReplyDeleteRandom Fact: When I was in grade 6 i had an MRI to see why i was having migraines so much and turns out i have a bubble in the center of my brain that is filed with fluid.
ReplyDeletelove your about me page!
Very fun. And informative! Random me fact? I have great control over my eyebrows. You know how most people can't move one without moving the other? I can wiggle mine any which way and to the beat of a song if you like. Unfortunately I haven't passed this down to any of my children.
ReplyDeletei just love you amy
ReplyDeletemy secret is probably not that secret....
it's that most of the time I'd say blogging is pain.
prob. like 60% a pain.
but then theres that 40% that is rad.
like you.
you are part of the 40%
also, i love this picture of you!
ReplyDeleteI wanna hang out with you!
ReplyDeleteOh Phoebe, that was my sweet pup's name - my first "child". That crazy ass dog put me through 13 years of hell, but I loved her.
Random fact, um, child #3 (Ava) came about after too many margaritas. That explains a lot. haha!!
you are pretty rad.
