Welcome to the very first BeccaLovesBrooklyn Blog. I feel worthy and considerably more hip now that I have my own blog. Life seems somehow more complete than it did 5 minutes ago. As a person who loves to write and has boxes of journals and spiral notebooks spilling over with thoughts and ruminations, I am thrilled at the possibilities that exist with this outlet for my thoughts in 2006.
So far it is looking like this will be another year in the midwest. I long for, yearn for, crave the insanity that is New York City. I miss The City. I miss everything about it. However, like I learned with a 2-week sublet a year ago, it is very challenging to live in the city with a baby as a single mom.
And that is just what I am. A single mom. A breeder. A 33-1/3% statistic of women in the U.S. who give birth - unmarried. I should have had an inkling when I got teary as Murphy Brown sang "Natural Woman" to her newborn in the finale of the controversial show so many years ago...that one day, that would be me. Even though becoming a mom before I was married was not on the 5-Year-Plan.
But it is what it is. And now 30 months post-partum I would not want anything to be different. I am more in love with my Sweetie than I ever dreamt possible. I can't wrap my brain around what I ever thought was important before she arrived.
Speaking of important: American Idol, Season 5. Chris D. (too talented), Kelly P. (too naive), Paris (too young), or Taylor H. (too unique?) - I say it will be one of those 4. However, Kat did a great job last night with her turn doing a song by Stevie Wonder.
The meatloaf is done and the garlic is roasted, so I guess "Soup's On" as they say....
more later....A LOT more.
