{Who I Am} Lara from Less Cake… More Frosting

In honor of her birthday {all be it a day late} here is the fabulous Lara from Less Cake {More Frosting}…

Well gosh. That’s kind of the million dollar question….isn’t it? I think it’s a lifelong search, that comes in pieces as we age and experience life.

It can’t really be taught.

It can certainly be ignored, if you choose to disregard the clues.

But answering that question is probably the quest of most people.

And certainly a quest I have been on, and will be on, for some time.

• I am a woman. Most definitely. I like being a woman. But I don’t always like what womanhood brings with it. Mostly PMS and boobs. I don’t like either one of those.

• I am also a mother. And I have the CRAZY stretch marks to prove it. Getting my children to this earth pretty much messed me up big time. (LOOOOONG story) But I’ve never regretted it.

• I am a wife. And not always the best one. When I married my husband, after 3 years of dating, my Mom told him, “you know exactly what you’re getting. And there will be no returns.”

• I am the daughter of the most amazing woman on the planet. The End.

In addition to those things, here’s what else I am….

• I am loud with people I know, and shy when I feel uncomfortable.
• I am scared of Thunder, and natural disasters. I’m pretty sure I will meet my demise in some sort of natural disaster. I have the funeral music planned. Not morbid. Just good planning.
• I am addicted to sugar and Diet Coke. And not always in that order.
• I am an insomniac. And have been known to leave blog comments after taking an Ambien, and then not remembering it in the morning. Possibly embarrassing.
• I am the star of my very own shower concert at least 3 times a week. (not that I only shower 3 times a week. Gross. Just that I take a really long one, with a soundtrack, at least that often)
• I am not a fan of the telephone.
• I am pretty fantastic at making up rhymes on the spot.
• I am a news junkie. I will watch the news 3 or 4 times a day.
• I am obsessed with big earrings and tall shoes.
• I am a blogger. But it doesn’t define me, in full. It’s just part of Who I Am.

I have been sooooo blessed to have met and spent some time with this wonderful and amazing woman!  She entertains and inspires me everyday.  She is one of those people who I have been through blogging, but with or without the blog I know we could be life long friends.  Ellieg… Miss Lara, Love ya dear!!!
