I know what you're thinking, people.

"Who the hell does this gal think she is?! Starting a blog and thinking she's all that. For shame!" I hear your concerns. For the past 26 years I have held this same viewpoint - that frankly, my personal day to day goings-on do not merit the ownership of a blog. That's not to discount anyone else's blog. It's just that my posts would likely involve take-out and repeats of Ghost Hunters on demand. That being said, this thing is happening. Hopefully my AmeriCorps travels, documented in photos and sometimes-clever text will be enough to win you over. In the meantime, I'm still waiting for my background check to go through before the job offer is completely official, which is terrifying since I have already given my notice at work and my roomie is on the prowl for a January 1st replacement. So if somewhere in my paperwork it's revealed that I have passed out twice while eating hot mashed potatoes or that I secretly rock out to Michael Bolton, I may end up sleeping on your couch... 'cause I don't think AmeriCorps accepts weirdos.
