My Little Blog of Mistakes

Mistakes.  We all make them, because we're human.  Some of us make more than others, due to sheer stupidity, synchronicity, or plain old bad luck.  That's where I come in.  I have a fondness for writing and penchant for bad luck.  I have toyed with the idea of blogging again for a while, but a lack of subject matter kept holding me back. However,  I recently remembered something that I'd been told once about teaching what you know.  I'm going to hope that this philosophy also works when writing about what you know.  I know a lot about mistakes.  Therefore, I shall start a little blog about the mistakes I've made (some humorous, some not), and the lessons I've learned (don't get too excited, I didn't learn much).

As I wrote that opening paragraph, a little voice in my head said "you probably picked the wrong blog site, Dumbass".  I also heard "no one is going to find this blog, let alone read it", followed by "you're going to ruin your wet nail polish for no good reason".  But I digress.

This could well end up to be another mistake, but at the very least I will improve my typing speed and perhaps clear the clutter from my mind.  As a middle-aged woman, currently housing a young adult daughter and her main squeeze, their two geckos, a senior aged sister and her two shitzus and two cats, my mind can tend to get a bit cluttered.  So can my house, but that's for another blog.

I could likely go back to my childhood for mistake topics to write about, but I think I'll just save everyone the heartache and take it back about five years ago.  It's a good starting point, as it was right about that time that I started an entirely new life chapter.  I think perhaps the book was upside down though, because not much turned out the way I had originally planned my story.

Why five years back?  Because five years ago I became "uncoupled" (as Gwyneth Paltrow termed it), and the mayhem began.  So if you're willing, or have nothing else to read, check back frequently as I start to recant my tales of mistakes.  You'll either laugh, cry, or beat your head against the screen.  At the very least though, I hope you get some enjoyment out of this and maybe learn a little something from someone else's mistakes.
