I’ve kicked around the idea of starting a blog for many years. Every now and then, someone will stroke my ego by commenting on one of my more ridiculous Facebook statuses that I should have one. That’s very flattering, but I know that I am far better at starting things than finishing or maintaining them, so I never jumped in…until now, it seems.
If you know me personally, the title of this blog (The Crazy Lady Who…) isn’t a surprise to you at all. I’m just a bit more scooters than the average individual, and I’m not afraid to announce it. The name does have an actual root, though. It sprang into being specifically on December 7th, 2011. On that day, I posted something inane on Facebook about officially becoming “the crazy lady who knits during the office Christmas party.” This status was surprising to exactly no one in the world.
However, a brilliant friend whose opinion I highly respect commented on this by saying:
“Well, I’m pretty sure you have several monikers that start with ‘the crazy lady who…’ And that is precisely what I love about you :)”
I had never thought of it that way, but ever since that day, whenever I do something off the wall (roughly every 20 minutes), I am reminded of that comment. I’m sure my friend forgot about it moments after posting it, as we all do, but for some reason that one stuck with me. Over the years, I have used the phrase to describe myself countless times, and every time it makes me giggle. So today, I am the crazy lady who starts a blog with no idea where it’s going.
It’s pretty bare bones around here to start with. I may have an art degree, but I am no graphic designer. So if you are good at that sort of thing and have a hankering to whip me up some logos and graphics…whip it real good. Or hit me up on the contact page, whatever.
I don’t make any guarantees. About anything. You might hate this blog. One, many, or all of the posts might offend you. It might be boring. It may never have any readers. It may never have any entries (hey look, something shiny!). Consider that your fine print, your medication commercial voice-over, your waiver of anything important. We’re all crazy here.
The Crazy Lady Who...

I, too, have a blog, but you have far surpassed me in your comments already, even though my little web ghetto has been slumming along for over 6 years. Well done. Curious to see what you type out next!
