Hello world!

September 9, 2010 By Africa

Well, might as well leave the subject up here that MrWordPress was so nice to add for me……Hello World indeed!!!
I am completely new to this blogging thing but have meant to do it for a really long time, so here goes nothing!!

I can tell you I aspire to be as much of a loyal blogger as Danielle is, but I don’t want to set myself up for disappointment…..life is cruel enough as is!

Where do I start?  I am a 30 year old South African female, currently living in Oakdale, MN.  I am, for the most part, content with life.  Its definitely been a bumpy ride and I am looking forward to the bumping slowing down and normalcy to take over.  I have made my own share of mistakes, and I blame no one for my life’s mishaps, I own what I have done.  I acknowledge fully that I have, in the past, let my guard down a little too easily and trusted people fully, my mom always taught me to see the good in everyone, but I have realized too that some people are just NOT good people.  
Talking of my mom, I come from a family of 3 brothers and me.  My mom and dad are still married and will be for 33 years on September 25th.  They frustrate each other plenty but I know they love each other a lot.  They are both truly an inspiration to me. 
I live with my 19 year old nephew, Casey Sanders.  He is a good kid, but definitely drives me crazy from time to time, however, I do think thats in his job description.

More about me………random facts…….I LOVE playing with stickers (don’t ask), I love hockey, almost more then life itself, I am allergic to a random assortment of random things, none of which make any sense, I am extremely proud to be a South African and always will be, yes even though I don’t live there anymore, I have 2 min pins, Tanner and Logan , they are the kids I never had, except easier to look after cause they can be kenneled when I go to the bar!  I love electronics and have most every gadget you could need, and some you probably don’t, I have not however given into the iPad and dont think I ever will.

For now I best get back to work and blog more tonight at home.  This if fun, hope I keep doing it!!
