In order to hold myself more accountable with writing I started “Blog Revival” It was an idea I got from my friend Kathryn. \u00a0She and I were on a comment section of a very high profile blog (Dooce) and I met some amazing people from that time in my life. We all fell into Twitter, MySpace and then Facebook and our blogs fell to the side as we jammed everything into a small box and stuffed down what we were really feeling about the situation. \u00a0 She decided she wanted to write again. I haven’t stopped, but my brain did. \u00a0I update crap here and it sucks because I’m tired of censoring what I write out of fear of what other people will read and twist. I’m just saying, some people I know (and some I have never even met…yes you, stalker ass Seattle freak, go away, you don’t know me, i didn’t date YOU and I am not a threat…go away!) tend to come here, read what I write and then twist that shit all up to fit what agenda they have going. \u00a0Another person comes here, reads what I write and then twists it so badly that I get a call from my step daughter. \u00a0You know who you are too, it’s been like 10 years, you can go away too.<\/p>\n
With all that being said I’m tired of censoring what I write (and I just did on that last paragraph) \u00a0and I am not going to do that anymore. Fuck you if you don’t like it.<\/p>\n
My name is Kristine. \u00a0I am a mother of 3 grown daughters (they were just babies when I started this thing) I am an office manager\/service writer\/jane of all trades at the Automotive Repair place I work at.
\nThat’s not ‘who’ I am, just what I do to pay the bills.
\nI love being outside in the mountains, on trails, in the water. I live in the city though and the weekends are the only time I get to do fun stuff. I take that time very seriously.
\nI use to be a professional photographer, I keep saying “use to be” hoping that I won’t get any more jobs, but I keep getting them.
\nThis summer I went to the first wedding I didn’t have to photograph and I have to say it was a DELIGHT! I had no idea that weddings could be so much fun!! \u00a0I am going to my second wedding I don’t have to work at and I am going to party like I have been to 500 weddings and always had to work!
\nMy boyfriend, his 13 year old and I live together in Sacramento, California. \u00a0We bought a house this year and pop up trailer and we plan on taking more trips.
\nI’ve been the step parent since I was 18 years old, I am thinking of going professional at this point. \u00a0Jesse is a great kid and I am the lucky one. \u00a0I’ve been blessed with some awesome step-kids that I don’t call ‘step-kids’. \u00a0My kids. My boy, my Roo.
\nThings you should know about me; I’m fiercely protective of the things I love. \u00a0If I have learned ANYTHING in the last 10 years of my life is when you have something you love and you don’t want to lose it, PROTECT IT. \u00a0It doesn’t matter if people call you jealous, obsessive or crazy. \u00a0Let them, because at the end of the day, you and all that you have protected from outsiders can have a good laugh…then snuggle in and fall asleep together. Go ahead, call me a paranoid freak. I’ve been on both sides of the fence and I have to say, I might not have given a shit in the past, but I made a promise to keep this one safe, laughing and blissfully happy and I will keep that promise.<\/p>\n
For now, I think that’s all you need to know! I’ll add photos from my phone if I can figure out how that damn thing works. In 2004 we didn’t have this kind of technology!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
