(This is me on refrigerator-cleaning day.)
I'm Elizabeth Jayne Liu.
People tell me all the time that I'm amazing. And by "people," I mean my daughter, Cal. It's probably because she gets to live in my home rent-free and I birthed her (so she owes me), but I think it's because I'm fucking awesome with a microwave and a glue gun.
I turned 30 in September 2010. That might not seem like much to you, but I'm pretty proud of myself. After becoming a single teen mom at 19, I spent my 20's mothering, loving, drinking, crying, partying, yelling, working, sighing, pacing, moving, scrimping, saving, shopping and dancing.
Here, at the end of my 20's and the start of my 30's, I have an amazing family and a great life.
My daughter, Cal, is kind and generous. Obviously, I'm a good mom.
My husband, Harv, is freakishly patient. I fully expect him to snap like a crispy, old rubber band one day, but until then, I will try his patience to the best of my ability.
I started this blog to chronicle my 30th Birthday Project. You can read about it here.
Some randomness:
I've moved 20 times in 30 years. That includes 2 continents, 5 states and 12 cities.
I married my husband after dating him for just 18 days. Seriously.
I live in Los Angeles, CA.
I'm Korean.
I collect bookmarks and craft supplies. I don't actually use the craft supplies, I just like to look at them once in a while.
I gave up swearing once. It led to drugs.
Whenever possible, I try to refrain from pushing people I love in the face.
Target is my kryptonite. I once had a breakdown in front of small children at my local Target. No law enforcement was called.
