Exhibit A: Introduction

[shanns_ljidol]

This is always my least favorite topic of every LJ Idol season. The answer to who I am is constantly changing. I believe that's the same for all of us as we learn and grow and experience new things. So, I guess I'll tell you about me, right now

They are difficult to write, but it's nice to get a picture of who a person is, even if it's just at one tiny moment.

Good luck!

Thanks! These are hard to write! Sometimes I think it's the most difficult entry of the competition.

Welcome back to the madness! I've followed you on your journey for several years now. I'm glad you are going through DBT and hopefully it'll be helpful. Hugs!

There is a big difference between a back yard breeder and a puppy mill.
Puppies from a back yard breeder get a solid start in life.

Thank you so much for saying this. Most people hear BYB and assume it's some loser who breeds their dogs non-stop just to make money and doesn't take care of or care about their dogs. Basically an at home puppy mill. And I am so not that!

Nice to meet you, and as a baby-crazy 27 year old divorcee (who does have a bf but cautious and not rushing) I can totally relate to not being where you thought you would be. :D

[shanns_ljidol]

Well hello baby crazy divorcee! *smiles*

You have plenty of time to get where you think you should be! And not rushing is really smart. I can think of many times that I should have taken things slower.
