A Welcome and a Warning

Hello new readers!

I'm glad you're here, but as I do with my Twitter feed, I do feel the need to warn you about me.

This blog is 100% me. I'm raw, unadulterated and blatantly honest. I will probably offend you at some point. I will make some uneducated, ignorant comment or I'll use profane language or I'll share too much personal information. You can bank on this. I vent about my family and friends...and my neighbors...and my pets...and my friends' neighbors' pets. Ex-husbands (mine and otherwise). Kids. Retail stores. Websites. Celebrities. Stupid drivers who cut me off in traffic. I put myself out there and I make no apologies for who I am. I'm one of the most loving, affectionate, compassionate people you'll ever meet, but I'm also blunt and to-the-point and I don't believe in BS.

I never intend to hurt anyone's feelings, but I do know that I can sometimes do that. I have a cutting wit and sarcastic edge to me that some people just don't get. So if I do offend, please do one of two things: 1. Stop reading my stuff or 2. Talk to me about it. Despite my direct nature, I do have enough humility to apologize when I'm out of line.

I'm not for everybody, but if you give me a chance, I'll do my best to make you laugh - either at yourself for taking life too seriously or at me for not taking it seriously enough.

Best wishes!
Mel
