First blog post, evarrrr.

I'm not really even sure how to begin a blog. I guess one just sits down, decides what to say and types it out onto the page. Here goes.

I'm Mandy. I'm 28 years old, soon turning 29. I live in a wonderful city in Upstate SC. Not to be confused with Upstate NY which according to my old southern family is somewhere on the road to hell. I'm a mother of a 3 and a half year old boy who we lovingly call Chicken Nugget or just Nugget for short. His real name is Reeve, but most everyone calls him Nugget. It fits him like a glove and has since he was an in-womb parasite. He is the most awesome child I've ever known. I know all parents have to think that, but in my case it is true.

I've got a day job in the legal IT industry which is fun and exciting and all those other adjectives used in job ads and resume sites. It keeps me alternatively busy and bored out of my bloody skull depending on the day, the case and the absolute fucking insanity of the lawyers I'm working around. Oh yeah, I like to cuss a lot. Like a sailor. It's just who I am.

I've got a pretty awesome husband, Mike, who is very tolerant of my insane career, insane family and my 3:00 am cravings for beer and Spagettios. He's an amazing father which more than makes up for the fact that he leaves food lying in the sink for days or never seems to care that he likes the house exactly 10 degrees below I'm freezing my damn nipples off, thank you very much.

So I guess this is it for my first blog post. Given that no one on the planet will probably ever ready this, I think I'm in for rave reviews...
