Day One Snowflake Challenge

[xgrenade]

I'm Ashley. I've been trying to think of what to say here an failing miserably..


I'm 35 years old. I have 3 kids ages 15, 13, and 10 months old. The 10 month old is currently asleep in my lap because he's rotten. I have 2 cats as well whom I love dearly. I'm married to a man that I completely fell head over heels for at my old job.

I work as a lunch lady at the local high school and I really love it.

I've been in and out of fandom for a long time now. My LJ is 20 years old. I started in the Inuyasha fandom and I made a lot of great friends and had lots of fun. I am currently obsessed with Dragonball, I wish I had the internet in high school because I would have been huge in the dbz fandom then. My 15 year old self was even more obsessed than I am now. I also love Steven Universe a lot though I don't participate in the fandom.

Ashmu! ♥ I love that we're back in touch again, and I hope that you find a few more like-minded folks during this challenge. It's always a little brighter when we have people to talk to.

It makes me happy to be in touch with you again. I really miss out IY days sometimes and I'm glad to know how you're doing. I'm hoping to make a few friends from this and it seemed like fun.

Oh the IY days! Such simpler times. I'm really glad we circled back into each other's orbits too. ♥

I will say the online trend for any of these events still seems to be people posting their individual parts and being too nervous to comment to new people. I have had the best success making new friends when I made the first move by going through the challenge post comments and replying to folks with cool icons and interesting comments. It can feel like a lot when you're already stretched thin, but honestly I only replied to 2 new people a day for the 2019 challenge and I met loads of folks who are my current f-list.

Hi! I'm glad you've joined in with Snowflake!

(My grandmother used to be a lunch lady! She ran the cash register and she always put goodies on my tray when I went through. I was very spoiled in elementary school. *g*)

Hello! I'm glad I joined, too.

I love being a lunch lady. I run the register, serve the line sometimes, and soon I'll be doing a breakfast cart out in the Commons area for stragglers who don't have time to go to the cafeteria. I try to give extra when I can to the kids. I want them to leave feeling full. It's hard to get through the day hungry.
