I have been thinking about my blog and how backwards I am doing this. I have name for it, I have the author for it (ME!) but I am just figuring out what material I want to use for it. At first, it was to share my ideas on being fabulous, talk about fabulous people and discuss fabulous ideas. But, I have soon realized that I know the most about myself, about my life and about my fabulous-ness--and not so fabulous-ness. So, I will add a lot of my life into this. I do not know why you are reading this, where you are in your life, how old you are or what you do for a living, but, hopefully you can learn more about me, my struggles and my accomplishments.
I would first like to say that I do not think I am better than any one, that I am rich, or that I am stuck up. I am your average girl, well kind of. :) So that you can better understand me, I will let you know some of the basics right off hand:
First name: Nicole
Marital Status: Married, as of June 18, 2011
Career: Student/Food service. I am a full-time student (major: Health and Human Services) as well as a full-time employee at a Deli/Catering business that is in the town that I live in.
Living Conditions: Excellent. My hubby (Shawn) and I brought a house a little over a year ago, two bed/two bath. As it is just us two, it is perfect. The home is older, but was remodeled right before we bought it. It is so CUTE! It over looks the river in our small town, but is on a hill. So, no flood plain for us :) This community we live in is the town in between where Shawn is from and where I am from--meeting in the middle I guess. So we are close enough to our families so we can visit, but far enough away to have our own lives.
Hobbies: I love cooking/baking. I may not be a "top chef" but I still enjoy it. I also enjoy guns. I target shoot and hunt, thanks to the introduction from Shawn. Polyvore.com is also something I love to log onto and do. Of course, my closet is the size of the average person's, but it is still fun to dream about what I would wear if it was unlimited. My newest hobby will be running. Starting this week, I am doing a couch to 5k program.
Have a fabulous evening!

We are women, hear us roar!
It has been a while since I have updated my blog. I have not shared any thoughts lately, so here they go.
I am currently working full-time as well as going to school (online) full-time. I feel like sometimes I have so much on my plate, work, homework, class participation, work deadlines, my hubby, family, friends and so on. Are we, women, working to hard? Are we putting to much on our plates?
Think about women in the past. They were housewives, they took care of the cleaning, cooking and children, while the man left the home to make the money. Now, we go out, make money, start businesses, coach others, and still come home to cook, clean and take care of the family. Our lives are filled with many roles: Chef, maid, driver, sister, coach, director, wife, decorator, teacher, therapist, mom, cheerleader, provider, daughter, and lover.
But, when it comes down to it, I love my life. Yes, my life is hectic, messy, most of the time sleepless, and crazy, but I love every minute of it. I work hard for what I want and I love the people I am around. I want to better myself and my lifestyle, so that is why I do all of the things I do. But, I can't help and try to introduce something else onto my plate. Another vegetable won't hurt, will it. ;) Women are powerful, motivated and lovely creatures, wouldn't you say? We are beautiful, hard working, sensitively-strong, individuals who are capable of anything we put our mind to! Embrace that! Learn to use it for the better!
