Hello and welcome to my new blog. I'm excited to begin my foray into the world of blogging. I say "begin" although I have used Livejournal off and on for about fifteen years. Oh my goodness! Fifteen years? Does that make anyone else feel just a bit old? I remember when Livejournal was the social media of choice. I still have my old Livejournal, though my attempts to use it over the last few years have failed miserably. So, here I am, ready to try my hand at a proper blog.
So, a bit about myself. My name is Samantha. I'm happily married. I currently reside in San Antonio, Texas, where I was born and raised. I did spend seven years in Austin and will always consider Austin home, as well. The city where I feel most comfortable, though, is New Orleans. I've never lived there, and have only visited twice, but both times I felt immediately like I belonged. I typically have a comically horrible sense of direction. But in New Orleans, I somehow always know where I am and where I am heading. It would be wonderful to live there if even for just a few years.
So what can you expect from this blog? I hope that it will be like a look inside my mind. Part diary, part scrapbook, part forum for sharing thoughts and ideas on the things that interest me and are important to me. Pictures of my outfits and makeup, as well as pictures of clothing and makeup that inspire me. Pictures of my pets, my home, my loved ones, my life and adventures. Tales of my adventures, my poetry, random musings, and reflections on life and the world. Ghost stories, tales of strange and interesting things. Links to stories, sites and blogs I like. Discussions or posts on the music I love, the books I appreciate. And as I love food and drink (especially dessert and wine or a creative signature cocktail) you can expect some discussions on those as well.
I hope you'll stick around and see what's to come. Until next time, darklings!
