Welcome To The Ride

Welcome to the adventures of

Girlwonder and The Garage Boutique

aka: my life.

Although sometimes I feel that my life can be somewhat mundane, I’ve been made aware that the world of blogging is basically a reality television show transcript… so to speak. Why would anyone even be interested in what I have to say or the stories I have to share… well why the hell would anyone watch people live in a house together, travel around the world, cheat on their spouses… my brain hurts from trying to even fathom how many reality shows are even out there.

So how is my story different? You may be asking yourself… well for starters, I’m 30 years old, and the owner of a custom motorcycle shop (yes, you discovery channel watchers… custom choppers), with a hot-rod-like clothing boutique imbedded within my business. Oh, and did I mention that I’m a women.

Aha! Did that reel you in? Okay here is the story:

Graduated in a small suburb in the bay area, went to college to become a teacher. On the way, worked as a waitress, receptionist, daycare assistant, nanny, barista, and probably a few others before I landed in a local motorcycle shop. There I leaned the ropes of the motorcycle world, then graduated to become a 4th grade teacher… Yes… “hot for teacher” Got laid off… good ol’ Cali, and went back to motorcycles. Was given the opportunity to take over an existing shop… took it obviously, and last December I added the clothing boutique, to corner the hot-rod community. Weeewh! How’s that for a nut shell?

In my world wind of the last year, I have experienced so much, the life of a young entrupeure, love, adventures across the country, motorcycle rallys, Las Vegas fashion shows, new friends, old friends and so much more…

It was the influence of my best friends husband to get me to blog about my journeys in life. After a long inebriating night for us all, his drunk dial to say good night to his honey bunny started the blog notion. He was stoked to tell her about meeting a man who made money bogging. And since they were embarking on their own small business adventure, he was ecstatic to tell her about the world of blogging. Every other word was blog this, blog that, and without his knowledge of being on speaker phone, we were giggling like little girls at the number of times he mentioned the word blog.

So with much collaboration, and internet research my girlfriend and I entered the cyber world of blogging, in hopes to not only entertain, but to share our experiences and adventures in owning our own business. Thanks for joining me on the ride.
