A Venture Into The Unknown

A blog is something that I've wanted to start for a long time. To me, I'm the funniest person I know, so why shouldn't I share my wit with the world. So what has stopped me? I'd like to think it's the full-time job. Or perhaps the two kids. Or that husband.

The truth is, I've never taken the leap to get "She Quips" started because I'm lazy. At the end of the day, I'd rather sit back on the couch (or lay in bed) and watch any and all reality television available. Who wouldn't?

First things first, we will do a quick introduction to who I am. I am Jenn, a 25 year-old mother of two (Jacob Allen, 5 and Jensen, 8 months). I have been married to a pretty awesome guy, Jacob, for about six and a half years and I don't have any real complaints about him. I work in the insurance industry and recently relocated to San Antonio, TX to further that career. We will cover some more personal background as we go.

My idea to start this specific blog came to me in May or June (I can't specifically remember) of 2011. I wanted that outlet to be funny and write. Thinking back to my school-aged days, I used to love to write, especially about things that irritated me. That's where the funny comes in. There is something very important that I want each of you readers (all two of you) to keep in mind: my humor tends to be negative. I don't consider myself a negative person in general, but the funny just keeps coming when I'm talking about something or someone that I do not particularly like. I won't tell you to "take it or leave it" because that crap pisses me off, so I'll stick with "I hope you understand the intent, despite the delivery" and see how that goes. In getting back to the history behind this blog, I wanted to kick off my blog about a very specific subject- technology and it's impact on society. Although I've done some of what I'll call "field research", I'm not writing that article today and it's unlikely that I'll write it before the new year. That particular subject is one that I'm going to build up to, as I just don't have that same drive to write it as I did 16 months ago. Again, the laziness.

There are a few topics that I have in mind for my next posting though, so if you are out there reading, tell me what you think.

1. Teenage pregnancy
2. Bad Mom Moments
3. Family Matters

I'll be back soon!
