ReallyGinny (reallyginny): 40, Female
United States

Name or Pseudonym:: Ginny

About Me:: I started my blog on LiveJournal earlier this year just to have an outlet for the thoughts constantly running through my head. I found out quickly that I enjoy writing, that I really want to get better at it and deep in my heart, I am a comment whore - not a bad combination for a blogger.

I'm 39, married to a wonderful guy for 17 years and we're raising our 5-year-old son in a lovely small town in Missouri.

Can't keep up...

For a few days I was cross-posting between my LiveJournal and this page. Now I'm just posting my daily entries on my LiveJournal....y'know, if anyone is actually READING my posts or anything.

You know what's on my mind today? Comfort, and all those little habits and preferences that surface when you're feeling under the weather...comfort foods, comfy clothes, favorite old movies, things like that. It's on my mind because we are currently on week two of a virus making the rounds of the household, leaving secondary infections in its wake. It started benignly enough as just a mild cold for all of us; now I'm in the throes of a sinus infection so nasty it makes self-trepanation seem a vi…

I'm not really a Mommy Blogger...

...even though I'm a mother. I never planned to have children. I wasn't even sure I wanted children. After twelve childless years of marriage and a miscarriage, I assumed motherhood was out of the question and I was perfectly okay with that assumption. Six years ago (nearly to the day now that I think about it), when the second line appeared on the pregnancy test, my first reaction was to drive back to the drugstore and buy five more tests. Over the course of the next three hours, thanks to copi…

Let the NaBloPoMo Festivities Begin!

If I'm going to be posting every day in November and you're going to be visiting and reading my journal, I think it's only fair I tell you more about myself. After all, if I didn't know you that well I certainly I wouldn't rush up to you on the street and start divulging every minute detail about my life....well, okay, I might but I do know it's not proper social etiquette.

Shall we start with the name of my journal/blog, Really Ginny? So named because I've had hundreds and hund…

What Have I Done?

When I signed up for NaBloPoMo a few weeks ago, I had no idea how much it would intimidate me. It was intimidating enough to step up and proclaim that not only do I have a blog, I have a blog so interesting people will want to read it every day for an entire month! But then I started visiting other blogs and reading well-written, thoughtful, insightful and clever entries and realized I have a long way to go. Now I’m convinced I can’t even string two words together in a coherent manner and eventu…

Anyhow. Hi! Would you like to be my friend? Well, I'm adding you anyway. :)

And I don't know who Maya Randolph IS, but you DO bear a strong resemblance! :)

At 3:12pm on November 3rd, 2007, Lotus Carroll said…: Wow, are you serious? The similarity is incredibly striking in my eyes!

You could be her double with a tan, man!

See!?

At 8:37am on November 3rd, 2007, Lotus Carroll said…: So. How many people have told you that you look a bit like Maya Rudolph?

At 9:43am on November 2nd, 2007, Arkie Mama said…: You left a message for me awhile back, and despite my firm belief that I had responded, I don't see myself on here.

So -- hi!

Let the posting begin...
