Blogging Mediocrity, or How to Be Average at Everything

The fact of the matter is that I'm only moderately good at anything. This comes remarkably into play in the blogging world. I mean, write what you know, right?

I'm only sort of crafty. I can crochet, and follow an online tutorial, and I made a pretty legit dress for a lion costume this Halloween.

Exhibit A:

I'm also only sort of fashionable. As you can see above, my hair can do some pretty unpredictable things, but I buy a vast majority of my clothes at Gap and not very well. Here's a photo of an outfit where I boldly paired a blazer with a pencil skirt:

For reference though, here's a picture where I wore all black and looked conceivably thinner, and one where I wore a cat skirt: 

This is about as adventurous as it gets with this budget. 

I'm also only moderately committed to living a lifestyle that vaguely resembles anything healthy, this is, working out, eating right, etc etc. I have no kids and mommy-blogging seems to have a pretty strict requirement in that regard.

I don't have a particularly dramatic or interesting job and to be perfectly honest, I'd rather have my eyelashes plucked out than have to tell another person what my wedding colors are. 

What I'm getting at is an apology for all the times in the future I'm probably going to blog about lipstick. These are things in my life that fall into the center of the venn diagram of things I care about, can afford, and don't make me nauseous to say out loud. 

This has been a public service announcement.
