I am a 33 year old semi-sane woman living in the Commonwealth and this is my blog. I share nothing mind shattering, life altering, or life affirming... but I promise you that what I do share won't be boring. Even if I have to make it up.
I've been blogging since March of 2005 and would like to consider myself the Al Gore of the Blog. Feel free to peruse the archives and learn all about my previous lives in England and Cow Town.
I have three children, one who is 36, one who is 5, and a one year old. The 36 year old isn't actually my child, he's my husband. I married him purely because I thought Fighter Pilots were cool. Seven years later and my opinion has obviously changed. He's taking a brief hiatus from the flying world and is now fetching coffee for important people on Capitol Hill and at the Pentagon. But even when he isn't handling million dollar machinery, he's still hot.
My 5 year old likes to play with Wall-E, watch the movie Wall-E, and talk about Wall-E. He also likes Wall-E. When he grows up he's going to be an astronaut comedian and make jokes about the moon. Or an engineer who designs cars that run on "moon power."
My baby girl is a perfect little being that smells like heaven. She's also the feistiest creature on the face of this earth and I may just be a tiny bit afraid of her. She's got really sharp hamster-like teeth.
More about me: I was born and raised in Utah and although I am very fond of that place, I've lived very happily all around the world. Broadening my horizons led me to the conclusion that Utah is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. With a side of fry sauce.
My interests change daily, although the following are true and will remain true throughout my life:
1. I esteem the Beatles as the musical love of my life.
2. If I could lobby for one thing it would be the abolishment of the Global Gag Rule.
3. I have perfect pitch.
4. I have a severe and painful physiological reaction to the voice and personality of Al Roker.
I have 2 degrees - a masters in International Health and Development from George Washington University and a bachelors in Zoology/Pre-Med from BYU. I also earned a doctorate of Not Getting Married and a PhD in Sluffing Church and Going to Taco Bell Instead whilst at BYU. That is a rare distinction.
My favorite subject was parasitology because I was top of the class at finding amoebas in poop. Besides being an expert in poop, I really like jokes about poop too. Luckily, my current career focus involves wiping a lot of poop and making sure it is the right consistency and color.
