Dusting off the dust jackets

Hi there! 

Remember me?

It's been a while since I've written anything here; or anywhere to be honest. So many things have happened in my life that seem to have taken me away from something I love the most.

Words. 

Reading them, writing them, sharing them. 

So, I decided today, while we're still under modified stay home orders; and I'll be working from home for the foreseeable future (August, at least) I might as well put some of these thoughts to good use. I have to be read, to be reviewed and to be shared piles that are as tall as my daughter - who is now thirteen years old and at least 2 inches taller than me. 

If you're interested in reading my words, and then reading the words of some people who are way more talented than I am - hang in there!

If you have any suggestions, or recommendations - drop them in the comments below. I can't guarantee I'll get to them any time soon, but I'll definitely add them to my list.

Alright then - away we go!  Time to dust off the dust jackets and get a move on.

Thank you for being here,

Amy

Are you ready for this?

Because I most definitely am not.

Okay that's not entirely true - I've been meaning to do this for so long, I can't even remember when the thought first formed in my head.

So let's get this thing started, shall we?

I'm Amy. People have been know to call me that, mom, wife, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, Tink, you there, shorty, shortcakes, small stuff, short stack, Teeny, Tiny, and a variety of other things that I mostly respond to.  Feel free to use one, or come up with on your own - should you so choose, provided it's kind; because really, who has time for anything else?

By now, I'm sure you've gathered that I'm a little short.  Okay, a lot short.  I'm 5'3" ... in 3 inch heels. Whatever. I'm fine with it, as long as you don't put the chocolate on the top shelf - that's just rude.

Moving On!

In addition to working full time, hanging out with my family, going to school, and dragging my kid to and from dance related ... stuff ... okay, more like she drags me to and from; but again, I digress.  IN addition to all of those things, I enjoy reading, passing my love of reading on, and sharing my favorite reads with other like minded book whores.  I'll probably also share some of the ones I don't care for, but think maybe others might be more worldly than I am, and so maybe they'll like those books.  Oh, annnnd I have a terrible potty mouth.  I have really inappropriate thoughts & favorite words.  I'll do my best not to use too many.

Sound good?

Cool, Stick Around.  This is going to get interesting. Or not, whatever, don't bruise my ego yet - okay? I'm fragile.

I'm not fragile, I'm just a huge baby. (like oompa loompa huge, so just, you know, be nice.)

Ya With Me?

Good. Let's Do This.
