What I Wish More People Knew About Me

I’ve seen this topic filter through some of the blogs I read regularly and thought it may be a good way to introduce myself in this relatively new neck of the woods.  I think it is nice to share some of your personality in the social media world in order to showcase your talents and most importantly, yourself.

So here I go.

I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.  Yes, that is true.  I wake up every morning thinking “wouldn’t it be neat if I were a _________________”.  Always churning for something new and exciting, although creative, my list has included photographer, professional blogger, web designer, sculptor, sommelier… it goes on of course.  I am not proficient in any of the topics of choice.  It’s just exciting to think “what if…”  I’m not going to lie, I’m a little jealous of the collegiate generation.  Still holding their future in the decisions and courses they take.

I’m scared of thunderstorms.  Seriously.  Scared.  I’m a fan of a nice summer rain to cool the “fry an egg on it” hot pavement here in the ATL, but a shake your house thunderstorm is a different story.  The lightning, the thunder – gets my heart racing where it seems like it will never slow down.  I’ve always been blessed with this fear, which quadrupled when I attended school in T-Town (T = TORNADO).  Today, I’ve found a companion in my fear – my trusty sidekick and loveable lab mix, Allie.  She hates a rumble of thunder just as much as I do.

I have two furry kids.  Speaking of Allie, she is my eldest furry child.  A lab mix rescue who blessed our lives nearly two years ago, wow how time flies.  She is a wonderfully loving dog who gets a little spooked by the vacuum or storms (see above).  Her favorite things include food, doggie cookies, food, sleeping and – you guessed it – food!

My youngest furry child’s name is Charlie.  She is a spunky Boston Terrier rescue we got as a Christmas gift (thanks Ma!).  Although her start with us was filled with vet visits and illness, she has healed up and grown into a tear of a pup.  Her favorite things include going outside, meeting new people, chewing on the coffee table, playing, playing and playing.

I’m a sucker for a nice glass of wine.  This one is my favorite, because it took me a long time to arrive.  When I was younger, my mom and grandma would sip the likes of Kendal Jackson and Clous du Bois all while I turned my nose in the air.  “Who drinks rotten grapes?”  Oh how the years change us.  Now, I love a good wine tasting – seeking the legs, acidity, tannins.

I’m a sports junkie.  Hello, who is shocked by this?  I grew up in the south!  When it was college time I had two choices (1) UGA or (2) UA.  No orange, ever.  I went with the latter for their public relations program.

Every Saturday during the fall (& bowl season) you can find me tuned into ESPN College Gameday with chips and dip on standby and tailgate food in the oven.

Now that you know more about me, the mind behind the marketing, I’d love to hear more about you.  Link up to the post and share your own “What I Wish More People Knew About Me” posts.

Happy Friday,
