Allow Me To Explain Myself....

Welcome!

As this is my inaugural post, I felt it important to get some housekeeping out of the way. I want to start off on the right foot with a full understanding between us, dear reader, so there isn't any confusion or hurt feelings down the road. Let's get to know each other and what this possibly insane address will provide for you.

The "backstory", quite simply, is the tale you come up with to cover your tracks. Or, it could be a story you tell someone just for fun. For example (and trust me there will be many examples of this to come...) coming up with a story as to why you're not at work is your "backstory". If you call in sick, tell your boss that you're over the toilet with the flu when you're actually skiing, that's you're backstory. To use the other example...if you meet a guy and you tell him you're a flight attendant from Hackensack when you're really a teacher from L.A. - that's your backstory.

The reason I chose this name is because I am the QUEEN of the backstory. I can be in a bar, have a guy walk up to me and without thinking suddenly I'm a student at Yale working on my PhD in Astrophysics. I don't know where it comes from...a gift of sorts I suppose. I find myself saying to friends - ALOT - "Okay, so here's our backstory..."

I'm just going to take a shot in the dark here and say...this isn't a "G" rated site. Or even "PG-13". I can't help it...most of the things that come out of my mouth are quite "R" rated. As are most of the things that happen to me. Now, to be clear, I'm not going to be ranting and raving and swearing in every post. There will be adult content, the occasional swear word...but also stories about my family and some friends which will be more tame. I'm a randy girl. I can't help it.

Please make comments! Yell, cry, laugh...whatever you feel like doing...I would just love to know what you're doing when you're doing it. This is my way of getting to know you! Also, feel free to talk about me behind my back. I encourage bad behavior when it comes to this one thing. (Okay, that's a lie...I encourage bad behavior a lot of the time...)

As far as the rest of it goes...I guess I will just say thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy reading about my crazy life as much as I love telling you about it. And as I mention in the subtitle, keep in mind, this ain't your mama's blog. So grab your bootstraps and pull, cuz here I come!
