Just Me… the crazy one

So I thought for a while what in the hell would I write about.. I came to the conclusion that my first blog should be an introduction of me.

Me. Ashley Ledford… the one and only.

I’ve had a life full of wild experiences, crazy events, and it’s hardly even beginning. I’m 34, a plus size single mom of two teenagers. I’ve wondered for a long time when I would start feeling like a “ma’am” or a “Ms” but like they say you’re only as old as you feel. Right? If that’s the case I’m a solid 27yrs old. I can still drink like a champ, even though I prefer to day drink like a champ so I can be in bed no later than 10PM every night! Weekends are not an exception. Sure my body takes about a solid week to get over a hangover these days and I feel like shit the whole time but 27/34 who’s even counting.

I’ve dated black guys my whole life practically. My kids are biracial or as some people say “mixed” (I’m still trying to decide if that is an offensive term or not). Imagine trying to date in your 30’s… it’s kinda like the meme.. are we doing this or not because I’m just as happy cuddled up watching my murder detective series every night solo. At least Netflix cares if I’m still paying attention. I’ve had two maybe three serious relationships that I thought, OH MY GOD, this is it… the one I’m going to spend my life with… then I wake up the next morning and think Jesus Christ if he doesn’t get out of my bed and go home I’m going to kill both of us.

I’ve got the best friends a girl could ever ask for. I love watching them grow into the adults we are all meant to be. I can and will forever look back on individual moments and thank God we made it home safely, we made it out of that trip alive and we didn’t go to jail for any of our wreckless shenanigans. Believe those stories are to come and damn they’re hysterical and absolutely terrifying.

So my thoughts for this blog…. I want to talk about being plus size and having confidence. I can honestly say I’ve never looked at myself and hated myself. There are definitely things I don’t like and I want to change but I’m a work in progress. I fail every day but I keep going. I strive to be a good person, but I take no shit and speak my mind. Sometimes too much. But it’s all love usually. I also want to blog about dating, being a single mom and sex in your 30’s.

I hope to drop some knowledge sometimes for people who are starting out in their “Adult” life. By no means am I an expert, remember I just told you I fail every day… but I’ve got some great pointers. You know like know your social by the time you graduate, bread is your when you’re drinking along with water, hydration is key, do not send that drunk text you’ll regret it wholeheartedly, while twitter is fun don’t @someone who blocked you (you will never live it down), and when you get the drunk spins sleep with one foot on the ground.

So that’s me. Kind of. I think these are supposed to be shorter but umm.. it’s a work in progress.
