Does it freak you out

What’s something you hope never changes about you?

Sometimes I don’t know if this quality is my friend or my foe, but a lot of what makes me ME, is my openness and my willing to overshare to the point where it gets awkward.

I’ve written about this before, how I can be too friendly and I think it freaks some people out.

I appreciate the fact that nowadays we can reach out to anyone, anywhere, via email or other messaging apps. I see my kids using Snapchat, saying ‘so and so added me, like who are they?’ And I wonder how I would’ve behaved in, say, high school had I been able to enjoy the freedom of such accessibility to chat to anyone I wanted.

It probably would have led me to trouble, no doubt. But fun trouble. Maybe someday when I’m really old, I’ll get myself into some fun trouble…

In other news, I can’t not mention that today is Sid’s four year Gotcha Day! Four years since they handed him to me at the front door, little tiny eighteen month old, terrified him.

We’ll have a party this weekend, as we always do, to commemorate this special day!

Yep, that’s Sid on his snowboard in our backyard…gonna be at least another week before it’s gone, no green on the trees yet but I do see little buds starting to form

  2. Happy day to Sid (and you all)! That fort is cool and all that snow at the end of May is insane and I don’t think you should wait until you’re really old before getting into some fun trouble. Just try not to get arrested or have it filmed and put online.

      Yes this is the winter that won’t end lol but temps are finally getting up there β˜€οΈ
      My problem is, the fun trouble would end up being recorded n then, well, it’s not fun trouble at that point lol

      1. Yeah, a recording probably wouldn’t be good, although social media sensation might not be such a bad thing and then you could monetize your website and retire early.

  3. being too friendly makes you vulnerable

    and can be assumed as a provocation

  4. Uta has a point. I’m open and friendly and will talk to anyone anywhere, whether we’ve met or not, but I’ve noticed over the years that a friendly and open woman seems to be the kind that men assume is interested in them in a more than friendly way. You’re not just a friendly, open person; the way you are is an invitation. Not that this is true, but it seems many men take it that way. That will never stop me from being the way I am, which is a way I’ve always assumed that everyone SHOULD be, so perfectly normal! Those fools can think what they want.
