ABOUT
Hey! So Glad You're Here.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.
As I said on the front page, and in many of my posts, I'm Marla Sanderson. I'm currently living and working in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm doing my best to figure out what I want this phase of my life to look like. I've done a little of everything in my 57 years. I was a professional artist & photographer. I worked in the mortgage business for 14 years. I attempted to sell real estate for awhile. I have been a business owner and entrepreneur for well over 24 years. I am currently reinventing one of the businesses, YouNeedADrink.com. I guess I have been a Jane of all trades in a way. But now I'm trying to narrow down and focus on the things that are most important to me. Not to sound maudlin or depressive (yes, I've had a glass of wine as I am writing this), but in the grand scheme of things, I don't have a lot of time left. So, I have to get on with it.
I'm using this personal blog as a way to share myself, my knowledge, my humor, and a little wisdom. To be honest, I want to tell my story and pass it on. How far it goes, is not up to me.
"For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business." - T.S. Eliot
A couple of things I wanted you all to know:
1.) I speak and write fluently in my favorite language: PROFANITY. I find it one of the few things that makes life worth living. I may not know myself very well on many days, but my love of foul language is one thing I appreciate about myself. It amuses me. If this offends you, well sorry/not sorry. It's who I am. It gets me through my day. It makes me happy. I'm too old to change.
2.) Within this site, I do have affiliate marketing links. You can read the disclosures here. After years of passing on good products to friends, family and readers, I decided it is only fair that I get a little somethin' somethin' for my endorsement. I have signed up to help promote certain products that I believe in through Amazon and other companies who pay me a small commission on a sale that comes from my site. I would appreciate your support in keeping the lights on. Really, I appreciate it....very much...have I said I APPRECIATE IT??? Well, I do.
Now, back to the bio already in progress.
I am a list maker. Have been all my life. This time I am trying to really accomplish those little things that I put on the back burner. Redesigning this blog (yeah, there was a Blogger version that I abandoned years ago) has been on my to-do list for quite awhile. Here it is.
I described this blog on Google thusly (because Google knows everything about everyone everywhere...might as well get it closer to correct):
Funny observations; creative DIY tutorials; product reviews; photography, drawing, illustration, remodeling, downsizing, recipes and sewing tips from a Baby Boomer - Senior Citizen personal lifestyle blogger in Nashville, Tennessee.
I guess that is enough POV (point of view) for one blog.
I just realized I typed out loud....in front of the deity of your choice and everyone...I AM A FUCKING SENIOR CITIZEN! Good. Gawd. Gerdy! I guess it's true; I'm leaning in to the whole old-ass broad description. Might as well just calls it as I sees it. Of course, I haven't reached the age of Medicare yet, which believe it or not, I look forward to. But I figure if AARP knows my name and sent me an invitation to join when I turned 50, I am a fucking Senior Citizen. OK, BOOMER.....indeed!
Now, on with the blogging/sharing....I mean oversharing/TMI. Let the games begin.
That is all. Carry on.
