There are three things I would like to give credit to for
the name of this blog*:
1 1.) Genetics
2.) Food
3 3.) Sunshine
First of all I would like to start by thanking genetics,
because when it comes down to it the blood that runs through my veins—which is
a combination of my parents’ blood and their parents’ blood and on it goes—that
has made me who I am today.
The second thing I would like to thank is food. From as early on as I can remember I have always had
lots of good food. Thankfully my parents made it nutritious, too, but even
though I had to endure greens and grains from an early age they never let me get away with not
finishing what was on my plate. In fact, if I tried to maneuver my way out of
dinner and think that I was oh-so-clever because I left my potatoes and carrots behind and escaped before my parents could catch me, I would find the same
plate—only cold—at my breakfast place the next morning. Needless to say, food and I came to a new understanding about one another after that.
Finally, I would like to thank sunshine. I probably spent 99.9% of
my time outside as a child; whether I was digging holes with my sister,
teaching myself how to ride a bike without holding onto the handle bars, or
challenging myself to bounce on a pogo stick 2,000 jumps in a row (which, I
must add, I successfully did), I was ALWAYS outside.
You see, I am six feet tall. As a female, this can make life quite interesting.
And after thinking about it most of my life, I've decided that genetics, food, and sunshine have all played a role in making me this way.
Unfortunately, all of this does not make me a super model or
an all-star basketball player; I’m just an average girl with an above average
height trying into a world where pants aren’t long enough, shoes aren’t big
enough, tables aren’t high enough and no bed will ever be long enough.
So welcome to life as I see it: in a 36" pants seam and size 11 shoes. With this blog I want to chronicle the all of the mundane, interesting, odd, funny, heart-warming, terrifying, and thought-provoking things that encounter all of us in everyday life. I can't promise I'll be able to offer the best insight into it, but I'll do my best from the view up here.
*Disclaimer: I am not a scientist, I am a writer. There is no scientific proof whatsoever to back up the above mentioned claims. If anyone
who would like to argue with me they may feel free to but just remember, I'm a storyteller. Sometimes facts get a little fuddled, but life is much more interesting that way.
