Procrastinator's paradise...

Well... I fell into the temptation. I created a blog. Mostly because two of my fabulous BCFs (best cousins FO-evah) have them, and they said "do iiiiiiiiiiiit!" and "yesssssssssss! EVERYONE--go forth and blog!" So, read their blogs sometime--Heather and Amy.

I don't really have any idea what to make this blog about... so I guess I'll explain the name a little bit.

I know, it is strange. It comes mostly from the term my Dad uses to explain what Mom & I do to the house around the holidays. No, not those holidays. Holidays--in general. Of course we decorate for Christmas, but we take it about a thousand miles farther than most. We decorate for fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, winter, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, spring, Easter, summer, July 4th... you get the idea. Every holiday known to man, we decorate. No, we are not those freaks with the giant blow ups in the yard. Actually, we rarely decorate outside. But inside... oh my dear. It is always decked out. We have boxes upon boxes of what Dad affectionately calls: "Froo Froo." The word "Froo Froo" can be a noun, for example, "Go unpack all the froo froo for Easter." It can also be a verb, for example, "Oh no, Mom & Whitney are froo froo-ing up the house."

I live at home again, after living away and on my own for about 4 or 5 years. That means I have accumulated my own Froo Froo stash. Most of mine stays in the storage closet out in the garage, because we would never ever be able to use all mine and Mom's stuff. A lot of my Froo Froo has migrated to my job (Family & Consumer Science teacher), so not only is the house Froo Frooed, my classroom is as well. Right now I am really wanting to have my own place again so I can start the Froo Froo process from the ground up... but that is a topic for another day.

Not only do I enjoy Froo Frooing up the house... I love to Froo Froo myself up. I am a girly girl all the way, but not in the crazy obsessed about looks way. I love make up and doing hair, but I rarely do it for myself. I love Love LOVE shopping, and do it far too often. I may not ever wear make up to work, but I will have on a cute outfit. ;) I absolutely love all things domestic--sewing, baking, doing craft projects, decorating, cleaning--yes, at times I love cleaning, however my current situation does not always allow for it, but that is also a topic for another day--doing laundry, and just about any other domestic things you can imagine. After all, I am a "home ec" teacher. Oh, top that all off with the fact that I have recently started an apron collection! (If you find any great vintage aprons or just amazing aprons, send them my way!)

So, Froo Froo in General is a pretty good summation of who I am. Girly girl, domestic diva in the making, sometimes flighty and airheaded, easily amused and excited about the silliest things, but all in all pretty darn happy with my froo froo little life.
