About this Blog

A few days after I turned 29, I made a list.  This blog is not about that list.

On the list are things I want to do/work on before I turn 30.  Item 13 is: Start a public blog.

Never mind that I wanted to call it something else, and then something else.  Months after I wrote the list, the blog is called Gin & Lemonade, and here it is.  I think I’ll add: Don’t Procrastinate to any lists I make in the future.

For a few years now I’ve thought, I live my life, so I don’t have to write about it.  But stuff keeps happening.  And I want to write about it.

This blog is about me.  And my life.  The fact that I use a wheelchair and live in not the most accessible city in the world is only one part of it.  Or is that two parts?  I was never good at Math.  That’s another part.

And yes, I drink Gin & Lemonade.  And other things.  Like coffee.  But never at the same time.  Gin, lemonade and coffee would be too much.  Or would it?

I’m very likely to be drinking coffee while writing blog posts.  That can be taken as a warning, or as fact.

For other random or not-so random facts, you’ll just have to read along.

Thanks,

Lorna

  1. Like this description a lot…
    I guess now I am just turning into a fan of yours

  2. I am surprised that at the same age, 29, I started my first public blog. And, same subject matter as well- personal life. Will read more of your works and hope you can also check mine.

    thanks and more outputs.

  3. Hey Lorna, great description! It’s really quirky and conversational.
    I’m excited to read around in your blog!

  4. I love your blog and now enrolled in good reads, thanks you are wonderful as I love to read.

  5. “This blog is about me. And my life. The fact that I use a wheelchair and live in not the most accessible city in the world is only one part of it. Or is that two parts? I was never good at Math. That’s another part.”

    Reading your “About Me” section pulled me in immedately. I don’t use a weelchair, but I do have crebreal palsy. However, this is only one part of my life. I have never been good at Math either, and I suppose that’s another part.

    Thanks for this blog. I know it probably wasn’t your intention to write for others, (as it never seems to be in the begininng) but I’m hooked in. :) Have a great weekend!

  6. Lorna I really enjoy your blog. I love to read, write and learn from others. I will enjoy learning from you with or without a “wheel chair.” Bless you. Jackie

  7. I’ve just started a public blog lately just after turning 29! Don’t know if I’m having some sort of a ‘pre-30′ awakening of sorts, but I’m kind of rediscovering myself and doing things that I’ve never done before – making fun to do lists and hoping I stick to it! You have a great blog and great posts!

  8. Your writing rocks! I send you major props from California!

  9. Your story it’s very optimistic ! Great writing. I wish you good luck !

  10. Ok this is a first. I never leave comments about people’s blog descriptions. Its not a principle or anything,its just not what I do.Your writing is great-makes me want to “look under the hood”. So now I’m going to have to subscribe and read you every day. See what you made me do ??? Cheers,Jeff

  11. I love you already! Plus I just saw you on Freshly Pressed, and I liked the easy style you wrote about your passport…I hope you get it back soon.
    I’ve never been good at maths too!!! Is it something about writers (some other comments allude to coming up blank with math)…. Anything above tens and I need a calculator, seriously!
    I will definitely be back Lorna……

      And it’s always good to hear from people who aren’t mathematically-inclined. :)

  13. Just saw you’d subscribed to my blog. Thanks! I’ve been looking through yours and LOVE it! Also, coffee-addict-especially-while-writing? Bad-at-math? Texan-transplanted-via-various-places-to-wind-up-in-Scotland? Those all are my kinds of awesome! I have relatives up in Aberdeenshire, actually, and one of my cousins is currently at university in Edinburgh.

    Seriously, enjoying your blog, and I’m very happy to reciprocate the subscription. I look forward to more! :)

  14. congrats to be in freshly pressed !!!

    Thanks for following me at She Brews Good Ale. Love your wit and writing and I look forward to following you!

  16. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Looking forward to getting to know you digitally :)

  17. Hi, thanks for reading my poem and visiting my blog. I’ve really enjoyed reading about your blog ambitions. I’m so envious that you are in Edinburgh, I miss that city so much!! But you’re right. Not very accessible. Lots of slippery, stony streets and narrow stairways! Looking forward to reading more of your adventures. :-) Bonnie (from Australia)
