Introducing Surly’s Sweeter Half (a.k.a. Effervescent Ingrid)
The yin to his yang … every surly guy needs some sugar in his life. Since my dear husband has sneakily sunk me into the blogosphere by calling on my creative side and helping him design his new template, I guess I’ll have to submit myself to the world of bloggers by agreeing to be an occasional contributor. Hopefully the cynical among Dave’s regular readers won’t mind the occasional post from “optimistic me”.
It’s tough wearing rose colored glasses in a world as chaotic as ours, but if you always look at your glass as half empty, you’ll live your life never feeling satisfied and more thirsty than not. I prefer to look at life with a more positive world view. So, hopefully over time I’ll add a little light-hearted balance to the surliness (not to say that this site, or my husband for that matter, is completely lacking in levity … can you say handle bar moustache?).
About the “ a.k.a. Effervescent Ingrid” … that’s the name that The Night Writer gave me after the Annual MOB Christmas bash. I’ll let Dave’s regular readers determine if that name holds water.
P.S. After wasting away a good chunk of our Saturday between designing the "soap box" and figuring out how the heck to get it uploaded, I'm anxious to hear what people think of the new skin on Surly's new digs.
