Get to know the girl behind the blog!

Welcome to my little piece of writing heaven. I must say, I’m not completely successful in the blogging world, but I keep on trying so I know I need be here. I’ve started about 3 or 4 blogs before The September Garden, each with a few different themes and each only lasting about 2 weeks to 2 months. Well darn it. Here I go again!

A little about me:

I’m slightly plan happy. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to plan. I love planners / organizers /calendars / lists. Oh, lists! How I adore thee! I plan and write lists daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I am nutso about planning. I found this awesome quote today and posted it to FB: “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower Oh Dwight, you are so right. My plans never turn out exactly the way I plan them, but the process is very enjoyable.

I’m obsessed with my pets. I have two cats, Phoebe (a calico) and Roxie (a MaineCoon mix) and a doggie named, Penny (a Rat Terrier). I adopted all my little fur babies and highly recommend it. I love those little furballs to death! My husband always makes fun of me because I carry them around like babies. Well, they are my babies. (They even have clothes…shhhh, yes I might be crazy.)

Did you catch that I’m married? Well, I am! The hubs and I just celebrated our 3-year anniversary, this past September. Woot! We met in college and dated 5 years before our walk down the aisle. (Which I single-handedly PLANNED the whole shindig. Yes, I just patted myself on the shoulder.)

And now just a few other things about moi:

I get up early on Saturday mornings to RUN (even in the winter!) I’m a crazy marathon runner.

I collect anything owl or elephant related. You can ask my family, I was collecting owls before they became “THE BIG THING.” I’m very happy they’re popular because now I have more to choose from!

I’m a novice photographer. I splurged on a DLSR Nikon and now I have to learn how to do this. Eek. I’m taking a class this winter at the community college. Oh goodness.

I work as a graphic designer / multimedia manager. I’m still working on the design of this website because I’m a) picky b)tired when I get home from work and I’m too lazy c)a perfectionist and want it to represent me to a “T.” Did I mention I’m a type-A personality?

I try to eat healthy, but always fail when I crave PIZZA. I’m a vegetarian, well pescatarian meaning that I eat fish (mostly in sushi or the fried variety).

In addition to my love affair with pizza & wings, I also desire chocolate and wine at least once a week. My girls and I love to drink a bit of vino after a 6-miler (that’s a six mile run for those who aren’t up with crazy runner-girl talk.)

That’s me in a nutshell, although I would hate to be in a nutshell because I’m super claustrophobic!
