Beginning a blog

I've decided to write a blog because I miss writing (I miss writing things that aren't related to fundraising, college kids, or weddings). Writing for me was never just words on a page, but a though process, a way of seeing the world. I was always on the lookout for story ideas, interesting stories to read, and - 99 percent of the time - I was living with an internal monologue that was writing the story of what was happening as it was happening. Much like the Wonder Years, but with more profanity.

So, I miss that- living my life as if I was writing a book, pondering word choices and delving into other people's lives as if I was interviewing them for the New Yorker. So I'm back at it.

But I'm a little nervous, so I haven't told a soul about this blog yet. (Though Jesse noticed I purchased the url, spoiler!)

I picked "my unfancy life" because I like to joke that I am very fancy, when I am not. I eat on the couch every night, I don't care too much if my clothes match, and I've lived in my house a year without curtains. I also picked it because I revel in my unfanciness, I love that we hosted a Big Lebowski party and all the food was themed "food you'd eat in a bowling alley."

So here goes.
