life unedited

The thing about blogging, and insta-face-tweeting social media, and texting and emailing is that you get to edit your image. Life looks glamorous, like a highlight reel.

Lest anyone feel that I withhold the messy parts of my world, here's a little gem from my week:

I don't think I'd checked my mail in over a week.

And lest anyone think I'm showered with fan mail, about four pieces of that stack were keepers, not because they were handwritten notes, but because they were bills.

Can I get an amen here, people? Tell me your lives are messy too?
