I am:\u00a0 A Woman.\u00a0 A Daughter.\u00a0 A Wife.\u00a0 A Mother.\u00a0 Me.<\/p>\n
There’s no way I can describe myself in one post, or even in one blog.\u00a0 That’s the way a person should be – multifaceted, interesting, intriguing, ever-changing. NOT rooted in one place, one space, one idea.<\/p>\n
When I started blogging, I posted a few miscellaneous things<\/a>.\u00a0 Then I moved on to blogging about being the mom of three<\/a>.\u00a0 One blog was scattered, the other too focused.\u00a0 I wasn’t comfortable in either space.\u00a0 My blogging was like the rest of my life – eager to prove myself, but no real idea of what my voice was.<\/p>\n I think I’ve found it, though, in the form of a nickname my Bestest calls me – Inappropriate Girl.\u00a0 It amuses me.\u00a0 I try to hard to fit in in so many places, but at heart I’m never quite going to do be able to do it.\u00a0 Nor am I going to not try.\u00a0 I’m happiest being my snarky self, which may or may not endear me to people.\u00a0 That’s fine.\u00a0 Like the song in Rent goes, “Take me, baby, or leave me.”<\/p>\n Sometimes I wonder if I was just waiting to hit 40, as if that magic birthday would somehow grant me the ability to speak my mind and do as I pleased.\u00a0 This blog is my present to myself.\u00a0 It’s my place to let it all out, regardless of what people think.\u00a0 If I’m wrong about something, I hope someone tells me.\u00a0 It’s a great way to learn.\u00a0 I don’t mind criticism – it helps me grow.\u00a0 I love being more comfortable in my own skin.\u00a0 I LIKE being 40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes I wonder if I was just waiting to hit 40, as if that magic birthday would somehow grant me the ability to speak my mind and do as I pleased. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[6,10],"class_list":["post-166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-bestest","tag-getting-old"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=166"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":171,"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166\/revisions\/171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.inappropriategirl.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
