Call me Shelly. I am 30-something, and I’m recently divorced. My life revolves around my son, my work and my college classes - pretty boring you say, let me assure you, there’s never a dull moment.
I’m a strong-willed, grown, woman, and I live with my parents, which can be enough drama in itself. I'm not what you would call a "music, or movie, buff,” nor would I say I "follow" any particular bands, most of the movies in my collection are “child friendly”. The most popular CD in my car plays Schoolhouse Rock. When I check out my friends photos on Facebook, their visits to see the “Live” Nick Jr. performances, sometimes makes me jealous. I don't watch too much TV, let alone get out to the movies very often. I don't have any real friends in the area, so, going out to clubs, or restaurants isn't really something I can explore, let alone, write about. The rest of my "free-time," if you want to call it that, is cleaning my parents house, running my boy to soccer practice and his many doctors appointments. The T.V. shows I usually have turned on are my sons’ Nick Jr. shows, The Local News, and Educational Programs, like the History and Discovery Channels. I do have a weakness for the “ghosty-shows” on the Sci-Fi Channel.
I'm open minded, I'm friendly, and I'm creative. I like making stuff with my hands, whether it's jewelry or small sewing projects, and sometimes, cooking and baking. I enjoy photography, and making personal music videos with slide shows of my "adventures" with my son; I share these videos with my friends and family. When time allows, gardening and camping fulfill my need to be outside, I find it therapeutic. The garden is developing nicely this year, along with the many herbs, we’ve grown a variety of tomatoes, beans, zucchini, carrots, beats, onions, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, asparagus, brussel sprouts, acorn squash, eggplant, cucumbers, peppers and jalepenos My son would say, “It’s going to town”.
After a research paper I had to write last quarter, I discovered that my Fourth Great Grandparents, and their families, helped establish and build the city of Grove City - where I live, so, I'm fascinated with the small town at the moment. My family and I visit downtown Grove City for the community events, like, the summer concerts, the farmers market, Arts in the Alley, theater productions at The Little Theater Off Broadway, and the Hot Air Balloon Festival at Beulah Park, to name a few. My son and I have a Zoo Membership, and we go frequently. An occasional visit to Slate Run Farm, an old-fashioned fully operational farm, is an educational, and FREE, field trip, My son LOVES it.
So, you see, just because my priorities and my interests are simple, doesn’t mean that I, or my life, are boring. Life’s a Journey, not a Destination - enjoy it while you can.
