Okay, I'll introduce myself

So, I'm middle-aged. Whoopee. I'm so excited about that. Not. I'm female, but you probably already figured that out.

Most of my time is spent at my job: I'm a public school teacher, grade eight. Don't shiver. It's actually a pretty vibrant workplace if you remember to laugh more than you cry. But I won't write much about that here; I don't want to get into trouble what with possibly violating privacy and such.

I've been married to the same guy for almost 25 years (in September). He's fabulous which explains the longevity. It has nothing whatsoever to do with me.

Our 2 kids are young adults. Our son hasn't lived with us for awhile but he does live in the same city which is nice. (I hate that word "nice"; I'll try to avoid it.) Our daughter is away at university but she hates it. She's be back at the end of April. She's a good writer so I'm hoping to convince her to guest-blog now and then.

I live in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada. Google it and you'll see how fabulous it is. Expensive real estate, but still fabulous.

So why am I writing a blog? Well, maybe to force myself to be more exciting.
"Hey, Paulina, let's go skydiving!"
"Okay! I can blog about it."
Or
"Hey, Paulina, let's go skinnydipping!"

See? I'll have to do those things just to have something exciting to write about. Because let's face it - there is nothing inherently exciting about a 46 year old (I might be 47 actually. I'm not sure.) female.

Also, I make glass beads. It is the one "hobby" I have stuck with longer than all the others. I have an etsy store at www.paulinabeads.etsy.com. Check it out. I'll post some photos and an Etsy Mini at some point.

So there! Now you know. Don't say no one tells you anything.
