I’m 33-year old stay-at-home-mom, married with two little boys. We call home a 114-year old house with no closets in the south burbs of Chicago. Try living with zero closets. I’m so not kidding. I’m also a recent graduate with an Associate’s in Business and am continuing my education as a Bachelor’s student in Paralegal Studies. I plan to become a paralegal as soon as I am able.

I’m still trying to find my niche in life and figure out just who the hell I am and who I want to be. It has been an exhausting journey and one that should not be so difficult, but it is for me. What I do know for sure is that I talk a lot and loudly. I am very outgoing and friendly, except on my bad days. I’m insecure and a little bit crazy and love being loved. Anything beyond that seems to change with the wind. Seriously.

I seem to be put together like a mosaic, and that is why I decided to change the name of my blog from “Emanicpation of a Drama Queen” to the more succinct, accurate and timeless title of “The Mosaic Me”. I am trying to rise from the ashes of a dead blog and reinvent it, breathe new life into it and hopefully reflect those changes in my posts. No guarantees though. I’m not exactly a great writer and the subject matter has not really changed. But maybe my interpretation has… only time will tell.

The little bits and pieces of me are arranged oddly and that is what makes me the vulgar contradiction that I am. For instance, the word Uranus always makes me giggle and I love making stupid jokes about it. But, put me in a professional setting and I will knock your socks off with my maturity and conversation skills. I find driving alone and listening to music incredibly relaxing and introspective but when I’m actually going somewhere I’m aggressive and yell at people often. I also have incredibly irrational fears of being murdered and being accused of a crime I didn’t commit which doesn’t seem to have a contradiction, it’s just a very weird thing about me.

That’s me in a nutshell, and in this case, nutshell is actually a literal term.
