Fannie Flagg Cool

Confession: I can't get my shit together.

Actually that should be read as I. CAN'T. GET. MY. SHIT. TOGETHER.

I really need you to sense my desperation. Whatever wrong turn taken or deep dark hole I've put myself in, I have no idea how to fix, and I'm finding that mid-mid-life crises thing that Zach Braff talked about so much in The Last Kiss is real. Except I feel cheated, because I haven't gotten my biznass together enough in the first place to really freak out about the repercussions of where my decisions have landed me.

So obviously, the only logical thing to do is start a blog.

Brutal honesty: I'm hoping this will make me famous. I mean people read Perez Hilton and I know I'm more funny than that guy (if in no one's mind but my own). Chelsea Handler has a talk show. Ross Matthews just friends enough people on the E! Network to float around there whenever he wants. Surely I can be as cynical or readily witty as those two to make it in the blog world.

Even more brutal honesty: Ok, so maybe I don't plan on becoming famous. (The dream is real, people, just not the expectation.) I think I really just need people to know that I'm still funny and relatable, a master of sarcasm and pop culture, and all the things that make it fun to be me still exist, even while the rest of my life is a drunken hot mess spread out in so many places that I don't even know where to begin to start picking it back up.

Personal Life Goal and Goal for this Blog: to be "Fannie Flagg Cool" (oh hey there, blog title!)

Y'all, I love Fannie Flagg.

Anyone that can embrace and relate and love southern culture the way she does... well, they score an A++ in my book. Aaand she was my favorite panelist on the Match Game. Aaaand I if could steal her personality and make it my own, I would.

Seriously though, watch this and then tell me you don't want a little Fannie Flagg in your life.




So there it is. My first blog post.

I'm seriously a newbie, so please don't judge *too* harshly quite yet. (I had to look at three different videos just to learn how to embed that youtube video.)
I more than welcome any expert advice from you experienced bloggers about what in the heck I'm doing.
Here's hoping I actually keep up with posts and don't run out of ideas by week 2. *fingers crossed*
Y'all wish me luck!
