A Single Girl With a Big Life
Hi! I’m Kelly, and I’m a Bachelor Girl. I live in Shreveport, Louisiana with my Chihuahua and two cats. (Translation: I spend a lot of time cleaning up poop.) My nutty family lives a few miles away. My pets and my family will eventually cause my involuntary admission to a psychiatric ward, but I love the spit out of them anyway. In addition to the furballs and the family, I have a large group of friends who are spread out every way the wind blows, and I write about our adventures (misadventures, more like) with some regularity. In other words, constantly.
As the name “Bachelor Girl” implies, I’m unmarried and have no children. Though this causes the ladies in my church’s Altar Society no small amount of consternation, I’m pretty happy with my circumstances. I’m a freelance writer, which means I spend the vast majority of my workday banging on my laptop at my kitchen table in my pajamas. It’s not nearly as glamorous as it sounds.
In addition to chronicling my triumphs and failures on the internet, I sew, read way too much, watch horror movies, collect creepy stuff, think about Halloween costumes, decorate my apartment for various holidays, practice my nonexistent photography skills, wish I was Martha Stewart (but, like, without all the prison drama), daydream about being a restaurant critic and offer unsolicited advice to my friends.
This little corner exists to detail the life between “Pomp and Circumstance” and “Here Comes the Bride.” I dedicate this site to all the girls who refuse to settle for less, who remain fearless in the face of YET ANOTHER bridesmaid’s dress or pointless baby-shower gift, who strive for salary raises rather than marriage proposals, and who know that a full, rich life doesn’t have to have matching rings or a nursery in it. We rock!
