How does this thing work?

(cough cough)

Hello.

I'm Kaylee. Yes, like in "Oh, Kaylee."

The name. Oh, Kaylee. It's kind of an inside joke that is partially at my expense (okay, completely at my expense.) 

You see, I've adopted a new adjective for my less-than-grounded personality. 

Mercurial.

Yea. I'm definitely that.

I'm a 28 year old Mom/photographer/fiancee/student/reader/knitter/gardener/painter/writer/reader/try-anything-once FLAKE. I know "flake" has a negative connotation, but hang in there for a moment while I make excuses explain myself.

I disclaim. I over-explain. I'm wordy. I'm flighty. I change my mind. I jump into new ideas with two feet and 100% of my heart (and money and time and sanity.) I love to create.

I also promise that I am not in love with myself, but that was a whole lot of "I's."

My fiancee (who we will just call "K") is unfortunately subject to my rather sudden and elaborate change of direction when I decide that (for instance) one day I wake up and proclaim, "I want to be vegan" or "I want to make a vegetable garden" or "I want to become a proficient calligrapher."

K's response varies, but is usually some shade of "Oh, Kaylee."

See? Cheeky.

Those ideas don't sound so bad, you say- but I didn't just plant some lettuce and peppers in a grow box on my patio... I proceeded to plan an elaborate garden that currently takes up 1/3 of our lawn (and cost us probably a month of income between the supplies, seeds, soil amendments, tools, containers and fertilizers.)

Did I mention that my only prior gardening experience was viscously murdering a cactus one time?

Anyway, my point is: despite my constant change of mind, some ideas stick. And that is what this blog/journal/journey will be about. 

I'd never read this, so I don't expect others to, but here's to yet one more capricious endeavor.

Consider my first blog entry written. Oh, I also have an Instagram that is kinda ahead of the blog game by a few weeks.
