Wait, what??

I wasn’t lying when I said I have some of the craziest dreams ever dreamed. And lately, a lot of them have been the kind where you’re so relieved they were only dreams when you wake up that you practically jump out of bed just to make sure.

Case in point, this morning:  I dreamed I was watching some sort of demonic horror movie (why? who knows), when it suddenly poured out from the TV into our living room. A priest, or some other holy man of the cloth, was stabbing at a covered cave-like structure that was growing out of our coffee table. Turns out, as soon as his walking stick-turned-spear burst through the covering on said cave, the utmost wrath from the depths of Hell was going to spew into our house. Fantastic, a party! Remember the movie The Gate? A similar gaping fiery hole was preparing to swallow me up. But the terrifying part was that our sweet baby girl (I’ll call her D from here on out for simplicity) was napping on the coffee table right above where all this was taking place!! Our beautiful angel was snoozing away on the brink of Hades, utterly oblivious to the surrounding chaos. WTF?! I really hope it wasn’t a sign that little D will have to encounter a massive struggle between good and evil in her life. Ugh. Then again, why was she napping on a coffee table when she could so easily roll right off and crack her head on those jagged rocks leading into Hell? Bad mommy.

Good lord, no more ice cream before bed.

Anyone else’s dreams verge on the insane, or am I just a lucky one?

And who might you be?

I’m so glad you asked! I figured as the newbie blogger on the block, I’d better introduce myself a bit. Let’s see, where should I begin…

I’m a Midwestern girl who’s done the brights lights and big city of NYC and has come back to her roots to settle down and start a family. I have an amazingly wonderful husband, a beautiful baby girl, a family that loves me no matter what, and the best group of friends ever. I’m now a Badger for life, and I love, love, love to have fun. Laughter is my favorite medicine.

I want to get back into fighting shape after having my first baby and might attempt a half marathon this summer in order to do so. Am I crazy? Maybe.

Being a mom is more incredible than I ever dreamed possible, and I am surprisingly loving every second of it. That amazing husband mentioned above and I both work full-time, so I have had to come to terms with the guilt of sending baby girl to daycare. So far, so good, but I would love nothing more than to be able to someday leave the corporate world and be either a stay-at-home or work-at-home mommy. That little girl has opened my eyes to this world in a whole new indescribable way, and I can’t thank her enough for that.

I am stubborn and sarcastic, but my sensitive and caring side has come to the forefront much more often since August 1, 2010. I have some of the most random thoughts of any person I know, and my dreams are vivid and bizarre enough to give even the most experienced dream whisperer fits. I love making people laugh, so hopefully I can throw some giggles your way.

So there’s a glimpse into the life of ScooterMarie. Stick around to learn more and see what happens next.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well hello there…

My very first blog entry, and on the first day of a new month to boot. How fitting. I’ve always wondered how successful I would be if I ever started one of these. Would anyone find it and follow me? Would anyone care what I have to say? Do I even have anything to say? I guess we’ll find out…

Thank you for taking a peek and entering the world of ScooterMarie. Hopefully I turn out to be devastatingly charming and witty with an endless supply of wonderfully interesting conversation topics. If not, well hey, I gave it a shot, and maybe I’ll at least make you laugh a few times along the way. I don’t know yet if I’m an A+ blogger, but as someone just told me, “I’m definitely something.” 🙂
