It has been forever
I actually thought this account may have been deleted from nonuse. Part of the time, I used Word Press and then there were other times I used Blogger. I have been reluctant to blog because the last time I kept a blog - well, somebody was kind enough to share my blog about being Poly with my very conservative Father-in-law in Ireland. So, yea, nothing like - hey here is something I am writing under a pen name - because we were not out of the closet. Guess we were outed.
Then I started to really pick and choose what I am willing to say. If anyone saw my Facebook page in the last 5 years they have seen a huge change in what I posted. I like to treat FB now as a highlight real. Inspirational quotes. Pictures with the help of snap chat filter. I really don't want to share a whole lot on FB.
Here is the thing, somethings I have shared on social media has come back to me twisted. For example, F and I went to happy hour with friends. It came back to me that I have a "drinking problem and I love to party" I am NOT a safe parent. Realy? I don't drink that often and when I go out to Happy Hour or even drinks with friends, I may have a glass a wine or beer. I may have a mixed drink but I do not drink to excess. Also, even today, we have alchol in our house, do you know why? I use them to cook oh yes, and I had a glass of wine with Thanksgiving. Please sign me up for rehab now! I like a drink now and then - I am not an alcholic
Do I take medicine? Yes, because if I didn't I would be alive but I would be misserable. This does not make me a drug addict.
Am I in an open marriage? Yes, as a matter of fact, I have been in an open relationship with Irish (F) for the last 17 years. This does not mean I am "too stupid to know my husband is cheating on me" and/or I am a big old slut who is out the bed each and every man in this world who is not a blood realitive to me. I mean seriously there are people who are too concern of what goes on in my bedroom.
Am I good wife? Well, I try my damn hardest to be. 15 years ago I married my Uber Geek. He is a great man and I love him. I love him enough to know I can't filll each and every one of his desires. I know he loves me because there is gold band on my left hand and a claddagh on my right hand that says he is mine and we are together.
So, yea, that is the reason I have not been blogging on LJ
But what has been going on in our world
2012 - We moved from MN to CA. (I miss MN. My oldest daughter is there. Members of my chosen family are there)
2016 - I went to work for Starbucks. (For my MN friends - if they had a Caribou here, I would have worked there,.) Starbucks is good to their employees. The Manager I had was the living breathing reason, you need to hire someone with experince.
2017 - Present I went back to school - I am working on getting my Cisco certifications.
2018 - I am looking for work.
I am going to blog more. More freedom on LJ.
It is has been a long time but I feel a lot freer to be me.
