Welcome!

Hey folks in the blogosphere!




So, now that I’ve figured out how to read all my site stats and I notice that a lot of people visit, read, then disappear, not necessarily with posting a response. I don’t mind this at all, because I read tons of blogs and can’t always think of anything clever or crafty to say, so I just bounce out, having really enjoyed it, but only silently. Because of this, I’ve promised to be more diligent with posting a little somethin-somethin a lot more frequently, for those of you I know are reading, but suffering silently with every giggle and snicker.




I’ve been hard at work learning the guitar, and it’s slow, but I’m getting it. I can just about play half a song now and I’ve decided to over extend myself and learn a new song too. I know, right? What idiot learns two songs at a time? THIS idiot. So shut up unless you plan to defend your smart ass comment with pistols at dawn. So, yeah, guitar’s going good. Easily the best NewYearsMas gift I’ve ever gotten. Dave’s doing a super job of leaving me in the dust when giving presents, I’m really going to have to step it up for Valentine’s Day. I mean, since when does the girl become the worst present-giver? I mean seriously?




I’m also doing well at the new job. It’s been a couple of months and I’m settling in, still the social outcast, as always, but I’m fine with that. I’ve always been as such, anyway, so no surprise there. I had to re-learn some shit I’d been doing wrong that made a humongous impact on those around me, so aside from that little hiccup, I’m trucking right along, and learning an attention to detail that I never knew existed. Good for writing, I suppose. And despite the neighborhood I work in, there’s been no shoot-out or hostage crisis (I know, right? What’s a girl got to do to get on the news these days?) so I guess it’s all good.




I must say that the kids are 10 and 6 and already cooler than me. I can’t wait to see what Devon dreams up next, (I’ve already based 2 kid’s stories I wrote on his ideas) and my little girl, the “silent sufferer” is destined to be the very talented, yet professional starving artist for sure (mental note: stock up on laundry soap and extra food during ages 18 to 30 for Taja)




Otherwise, life is trucking along. I know, I can’t be witty and funny every article, but that would make me an unrealistic character, right?




Oh, I’m also starting a new novel, of which, the story is just as awesome as the one I finished this time last year… I’m glad to see this writing thing wasn’t just a phase…like my weird shoes or wearing underwear (jk).. So a big, Yay! For that one!




You all take care, and I’ll be back with some more juicy tidbits from the life of Kia! (Be jealous, celebrities, you only wish you could write a 2-page article on doing laundry and how to remove gum from hair!)




Love, Peace and chicken grease!
