Introduction

I've been inspired to start my own set of ramblings in order to document my path to becoming the ideal 50s housewife minus the Stepford-ness but still maintaining that other part of me, which is a tree-climbing, jar-opening, arm-punching tomboy.

My name is Bess(ie) and I hope you join me.

I'm 24, born and bred in the South, just gotten my first real job being a legal assistant at a firm downtown, and have 3 cats that do not let me leave the house in black clothing without a little love. By little, I mean jump in my lap and root around for a while or try to rub their stripes off on my shins by way of saying "Goodbye! Have a lovely day!"

Meet Butterscotch, Caramel, Sylvester, and me.
