Welcome et Bienvenue! This is my first blog post on my first blog. It's also the first time I've written anything for public consumption since college. Yipes!
I'm Fraoch, a snarky thirty-something singleton attempting re-ignite her spark after a five years of bad news, low blows and general mayhem.
How did this all come to pass? Well, kids, life and shit happens. Maybe it was the great family die-off, or The Ex cancelling our plans to live happily ever after, or my one-time best friend finding her Mr. Right and ditching me. Or it was 3 lay-offs in 3 years. Add bourbon and shake. Voila! One hot mess of me.
But a few awesomely awesome friends who put up with my wandering neuroses, and few lovely compliments from random acquaintances with nothing to lose or gain have made me look at myself differently. How I see myself and how others see me is so ridiculously different it's comical. To a point. So I decided to figure on why that is and how to reconcile the two.
A sweet guy I dated briefly told me that when I was happy, I smoldered and people wanted to feel the heat. That has always stuck with me. I want to be that girl again. So here goes!
