Are you ready?!

Hey there, gorgeous. Oh wait, perhaps that's a bit too forward for our first meeting. Let me try that again.

Hi, sweets. Still too much? Hmmmm... Ok. Third try's the charm.

Yo! What's up!? Yeahhh, not getting ANY better. Ha! Oh well, we're diving head first into this blog post, proper introductions or not!

Are you wondering what you've gotten yourself into yet? If not, hang tight... It'll come.

*Ahem* Hi. Hello there. ¡Hola! I'm Shauna, aka Mom, aka Wonder Woman, aka Hot Mess who might have just blew up her life Dwyer. And I'm really, I mean REALLY, glad you stopped by for a chat.

I believe I have a lot to offer you.

I also believe I have a lot to learn from you.

Let's see if we can make this a beautiful partnership, shall we? Are you nodding your head? Please be nodding your head!

So, how does a beautiful partnership work between blogger and consumer of said blog?

1. Blogger blogs.
2. Consumer consumes.
3. Blogger and consumer feels stress relief for 0.2 seconds of their day.
4. Blogger stresses about feedback consumer will provide about said blog for 23 hours 59 minutes and 58 seconds of her day.
5. Consumer laughs at blogger, writes hysterical commentary praising said blog, and provides feedback anticipating next blog. *pahahaha!!! wink*
6. Blogger/consumer process begins anew.

In all seriousness though, I WANT this to be a reciprocal relationship. I feel like I'm supposed to be blogging now and I hope you feel inclined to give me feedback (good, bad, and ugly. I'll try not to cry too hard!).

Back to the original question. Are you ready? What are you getting into? A relationship. The R word. Ack! Yep, I said it. Don't worry, I won't ask you to take me to dinner, buy me clothes, or anything like that. Just some friendly banter. And helloooo! Who doesn't​ love that? 

As a matter of giving to you first, I'd like to give a mnemonic to describe who I am:

  - S: Sassy

  - H: Happy

  - A: Ambitious

  - U: Upfront

  - N: Nervy

  - A: Analytical

Where's the P for Perfectionist?

Or the D for Driver?

Or the L for Loving?

Pssshhhh, whatever. You get the idea! I like to get stuff done, I'm not shy, and I'm a lover not a fighter.

Who are you??? Do you have a mnemonic to describe yourself? If so, shoot it back to me in the comments below! I'd love to read about you, too.

Here’s what you should know moving forward:

This blog will be random, so if you're hoping for the next best set of home hacks, a series on financial freedom, or the latest-greatest parenting advice, then I'm not the the girl for you.

If, however, you’re looking for the following, then I’m absolutely the girl for you!

• stress relief
• at least one laugh
• inspiration for your journey
• heart
• authenticity (none of that fake shit)
• occasional foul language #sorrynotsorry

Here's to a beautiful relationship... Errr partnership! Whatever term makes you comfortable… let’s do this!
