On Rainbows, Soy, and Hand-Holding

Yea! My first blog post ever! How excited are you to read the thoughts that come straight from my head to the keyboard? Well, actually, you might not be that excited, but that's okay, because I am excited enough for everyone!

Let me tell you a little about myself... I'm Kimi. I'm married to my high school sweetheart. We've been married for 3 years, but we've been together for 10. Well, almost 10. We have a son, and he is pretty much the cutest little boy you will ever meet. When I see him, I just want to squish him and suck on his cheeks! And no, that's not awkward or weird or anything... He digs it. Totally. We also have an Aussie Shepherd mix named Jake. Yeah, well, we didn't get to name our dog. You see, he was a rescue dog, and he already had a name... So that's my family. Well, I have a bigger family than that, but that's boring-pants stuff, and you don't care. Unless you do, in which case, I can tell you all about them... but for now, I'm leaving them out.

So about the rainbows, the soy, and the hand-holding... It's this thing with my cousin Shelly. And I know I said I wouldn't get into the whole family thing, but we're like, super close. And she lives in Washington (the state, not D.C.)... so we don't really get to see each other a whole lot, but we do get to talk on the phone, and sometimes we even Skype. Which we need to do again soon, by the way. Anyway, when we have a bad day, we call each other, so we call each other A LOT. On one such day, we were venting, and I said, "Wouldn't it be great if we could just get away from all our problems and sit on a rainbow for a while instead?" The rainbow, of course, being the magical ability to escape reality, because let's face it, everyone likes to do that every once in a while. Right? And then Shelly said, "And we'll drink soy lattes and hold hands too!" I said I dig it, and she did too. So it has kind of become our thing.

I am super excited to write about my life! Be prepared for rants on things that bother me, my love affair with chocolate, my weight loss journey as a result of said love affair, bad days, and just complaining in general over the ins and outs of mommyhood and wifery. Oh, and old people who can't drive. Really, anyone who can't drive. Please get off the road. Also, what bothers me? Geico. And their advertising. Those cavemen are butt. Other things that bother me: Oprah, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldburg, Shar Jackson, and anyone else on The View... BP bothers me. Yappy dogs bother me. I'm bothered by women who think it's okay to wear a two-sizes-too-small babydoll John Deer t-shirt with no bra, to a healthfood store! It's one thing to walk into Walmart looking like that, and something else entirely to step foot into Earth Fare like that. If you can afford to shop at a fancy-pants grocery store, then you can afford some Victoria's Secret, okay?

I also feel that I should preface every post with "I have a dry sense of humor. I love irony and sarcasm. Please do not be offended. This blog is for funsies." But that disclaimer would get super-redundant and annoying, so here it is, just this once. Enjoy!
