Hello! My name is Karen and welcome! I’m a mom to two young men – Blake (29) and Brandon (27). I’ve been married to the same wonderful, patient, thoughtful and generous man (Kevin) for 32 years.
I work full time in a healthcare clinic (for now) – it’s my “day” job. I squeeze in family time and blogging in between all of that. (Okay, I really spend the majority of my “down” time watching YouTube videos or searching prompts and writing short stories to post).
We converted a cargo trailer into a camper and I guess we’re campers now! (Since going on cruises seems to be out of the question right now).
I graduated from college with a B.S in Technical Writing – so I’m a wordy know-it-all, as well as a minor in creative writing – so don’t always believe what I write. *wink*
I believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Writing Well. (I also believe in our Constitution – Don’t Tread on my Rights, Yo).
I can be snark-a-licious, but only when provoked or when confronted with ignorant, ill-informed knuckleheads.
I’ve been blogging (on and off, mostly off) for…. how many years…? (I’ve lost track, quite honestly).
I also have a lot to say about nothing.
Brace yourself.
Also follow me on Instagram, because life is more fun with pictures.
Depends on the person and what I need to say. I can often times email clients. The boys – face-to-face (though I don’t, emailing them might actually get their attention better lol), my parents, on the phone. Kevin, whisper into his ear. hehe
Next question: What part of life confuses you the most?
It may seem really trite, but there is a pair of shoes that I want back. I used to have a TON of shoes and I realized how excessive it was. I was brutal with cleaning out the things and I decided to keep only one pair of flip-flops. I narrowed it down to two – one more for the pool/outdoors/getting wet and one nicer pair that had white leather straps and a good (not foam) sole. I decided to keep the outdoorsy-type shoes because I would use them more. Every summer, I wish I had kept those white shoes. I have looked and looked for a pair like them, but the only ones even close are $50 and up, and there is no way I’m spending that much on a pair of flip-flops!
Interestingly enough, I clean out my house quite frequently and donate things to Goodwill on a regular basis. This pair of shoes is the ONLY thing I have ever regretted giving away.
My question? If you have something to say to someone, how do you best express yourself? In writing? On the phone? Face to face? Or some other way?
