Welcome to My World

This must be where I introduce myself.  I'm Marlene, 28 years old, live in the sunny state of Florida.  Today is a breezy day, left the windows open to get some fresh air.  Pig and Ziggy greatly enjoyed it. 

To be honest, I haven't blogged in years.  I used to be a part of Live Journal, but my friends stopped commenting and I just got bored with it all.  I never thought I'd abandon my LJ.  But after blogging there for a good 4 years of my life, it actually felt easy to walk away from it.  I never go back and read my old posts.  Not sure why.  Maybe I don't want to be reminded of shit that had happened or people that were in my life.  There were good and bad memories there...but now I'm rambling so I'll shut up about it.  To make a boring story short, this is new to me again, so I may be extremely hesistant about what I share before settling in and having active readers. 

I love a good audience.  Whether it'd be performing guitar or writing in here, or hopefully sharing my children's book once it's finished and published.  If I don't have an audience to share with, things go dead for me.  Which is one of the reasons I stopped playing guitar.  But it's mainly because I've done all that I've wanted to, and lost the passion for it.  So now I consider myself retired, and venturing into a new aspect of my life which is writing.

I'm babbling, aren't I.  You might be wondering who Pig and Ziggy are.  I mentioned them in the first paragraph of this post.

PIG: Pig is my 4 year old guinea pig.  He just got done recovering from an upper respiratory infection.  Poor Piggy.  He is much loved.  I've had him since he was a baby.  I bought him at PetSmart around Christmas time.  He is tri-colored (black, white and red).  He loves to give kisses and is such a sweetheart.  He also loves to eat.  His favorite food is cucumber.  He takes it out of my hand and shakes it.  Gotta kill it first, y'know ;).  He is my best friend.

ZIGGY: Zig is an adorable 5 month old African Pygmy Hedgehog.  Careful, he bites!  I've had a difficult time bonding with him because he was quilling (the baby quills fall out and adult ones grow in) and he was grumpy cause he was hurting.  It hasn't been until this month that he's learned to trust and love me.  He loves to be kissed on his face.  He gets so happy sometimes that he starts to purr and whistle.  It is adorable.  I've fallen in love with him.  He is my other best friend...well, he's starting to be. Not so much when he bites me though! :O

Okay, so I've introduced myself a little, and my pets.  Wanna know more?  Keep reading, and through each post, you will get to know me more.  I don't want to spill everything in one drawn out post.  I want to keep you entertained and hopefully comment.  So goodbye for now, and I'll see what I can share in my next post....
