Got Potty Mouth? It's a Bloggin' Revolution!

I have never advertised this blog to anyone I know. I admit a few friends told me they found it through my husband's blog, but in general, most friends, neighbors, and family are oblivious. (I do think a few others read, but never mention it. ) Why you ask? Well, besides having a few inflammatory opinions, I've got a bit of a potty mouth. Note the NC-17 rating at the right of my page. I think most would be shocked, since I generally come across as a conservative, former PTA president, former lieutenant conservative mother of three.

It started in 7th grade when I first uttered the word, "fuck." I recall the exact moment standing by the lockers at Mendenhall Middle School. I had one of two best friends, Stephanie Olla (Hi Teri!), who had quite an encouraging potty mouth of her own. I was still a practicing Mormon, but oh the power of that word. It was revolutionary. It was naughty. It was forbidden. It was one of the first baby steps in becoming who I am today. Before that, I was the obedient third daughter who dreamed of marrying after high school. After, I started to question. I pushed marriage out and directed thoughts to Berkeley. I applied and was accepted to the honors program in high school. I paid my own way through Berkeley. Though Stephanie and I had a falling out in ninth grade, I still today think she rocks.

So, we come to today. I've come to the realization that it's time to out myself. Why try to be anything but who I am. So, in the famous words of Popeye, "I am what I am." I am throwing my blog URL on all my email. Why not? Let's see who I offend, who I amuse, who I shock, and see who comes back.

I would love to hear from you all, see who's actually reading, and any experiences/words of advice of your own from "outing" yourself.
