Offbeat Me? What's That About?

I guess it's about time I explain what Offbeat Me is about. Or going to be about. Hopefully.

Being offbeat can mean many things. From the fact that doing things a little differently from others to you yourself are complete different. Universally offbeat means being unconventional, eclectic or eccentric, quirky, unusual. No matter what, you go against the grain of whats considered normally cookie cutter. What does this mean? Well think about it. What is considered normal in modern  society? Normal clothing, normal music selection, how much your suppose to weight. Bawh. If you're like me you probably love being different. Heavy metal music amongst others, shopping at other places besides Hot Topic, tattooed and pierced, though I'm personally not fully; bold color in your hair. There are so many other things that can make u much different then the norm.

Just to give you a little more of an idea who I am, besides what is on my About Me. I've gone through my phases. What person hasn't. I was a goth at one point and a hippie another. Now its kinda funny since I seem to be more of a combination of all of them and yet just myself. Now I'm an Offbeat mama with the love of all types of cultures and scenes. With that I love all types of music from industrial, which i got from my goth days; to indian folk music. My current obsessions being yoga, cooking, eroticise (which is nothing more then erotic style exercising like burlesque, pole dancing, and dancing with stilettos on), shopping for that perfect dress. Along with me being a mama, I'm also engaged. So as I plan the event I hope to be able to share my process with you. My fiance is a great man and father to our 1 year old son, and is also quite an offbeat person himself. Maybe I can even get him to blog along with me.

All in all, this blog is a way for me to chronicle my life in the offbeat. As a mom, a bride and wife to be, and whatever else tickles my fancy.

Hope you guys enjoy yourselves.

My Baby Is 1!!!

It's amazing to know that my son is now 1 years old. It seemed like yesterday he was just learning to crawl and the day before that he was smiling and giggling for the first time. Yet its kind surprising how indifferent I feel bout it. Not saying I don't care, I mean it's my child and I'm happy that he's hit that toddler mark. At the same time I don't care. You see, I send all my time with my son since I'm a stay at home mom, but I just don't get that big "Oh My God you're 1" feeling that you think that your suppose to get. I didn't get him a cake nor was I planning on doing a party, whether it was with family or not. I guess I just don't see the what the big deal is. My son doesn't like me to leave his veiw, he doesn't like a lot of noise, or a lot of people around. If I was gonna do something, I wanted him to enjoy himself. Not scream his head off and attach himself to my hip. So my idea was to wait till next year. Hopefully he would be able to particicipate more, run around and sing, and just enjoy being 2. Along with hopefully we (me and his father) would be in such a rut with our finances, among other thing.


Well I kinda didn't have a chose in the matter though. Thanks to my lovely sister in law, she went out and bought him a big cupcake cake and a number 1 candle. I'm not mad about it at all. If we were gonna celebrate his birthday this was how I wanted. Me and his father, his aunts and uncle, and the grandparents. More then that and it would be more of a party in which I would have felt that I needed to provide food and beverages. Now mind you, this is my fiance's family so they would of provided everything. but I see them as guest when it comes to these type of events and I would like to be the hostess which means I cook and clean, etc. It's just how I feel.


Well anyway. Everything worked out great and my son loved the cake. Also the sugar high he got afterwards while I gave him a bath. And I think he may still have a slight high today. All in all, I love my son and I'm glad he had a good birthday.


Now to start planning next year properly.

I Hate Snow!!!

It's cold and unfriendly. Plus they're calling for more. More!! Really!! Didn't we have enough last year. It's times like this when I wish gobal warming would work faster. I'm dying for warmer weather. I need my flee and farmer's markets.


Stupid Snow Go Away!!!

Starting A Blog???

So it seems I'm starting a blog. Don't know why I'm doing this but I was inspired by another blogger and an old friend, so I figured I try it out. So if you're reading this welcome to the first post of Offbeat Me. As far as explaining what Offbeat Me is about, I'll save that for another post. Once I have everything situated.
