About a year ago, my good friend and wonderful photographer, A, offered to take some boudoir-inspired photos for me. It’s something I’d wanted to do for a long time, and she was looking to expand her photography genres, so it seemed like a match. I headed over there one chilly Saturday morning with a bag full of wardrobe options, and I semi-awkwardly attempted to look hot … in the most classy of ways, of course. So here comes the part where I show you all of the photos, right? Not exactly. They are stored in a folder on my computer, for my eyes only. Or so I thought. This video was shot about a week ago when I was not home, as L discovered said folder:

Yep, that’s my son sitting bare-chested in my bathrobe, clicking through scandalous photos of his own mother. We’re currently saving for both college and therapy.

I’ve been planning a blog for about 367 days. At least. My spousal equivalent (AKA hetero life partner) promised to build me the biggest, baddest blog layout this side of the river, but it’s fair to say that he simply doesn’t have time to put it together for me. That being said, my pants are full of ants, so tonight dear readers, I’m putting on my big-girl panties and figuring this-here thing OUT.  Step 1: Set up wordpress account.

Now, I’ll admit that one of the main reasons I’ve been wanting this blog is to use a little technique a good friend of mine uses, where she cutely crosses out something and rewrites what she “meant” to say. Ohhhh A, that is just so clever, and I love it!  Another confession: a second blogger friend of mine refers to her friends by his or her first initial in all blogs, a la Gossip Girl-style. Another technique I plan to adopt. Thanks, E!

Step 2: Determine Blog Content

This will likely end up being filled with stories about Liam my son, L. He’s a true riot, and his antics need to be documented. Tonight, I simply need to roll the ball. You see that? Yep, we’re moving!
