Welcome

I've created this blog to A) be trendy, B) offer some sort of chronicle of something or other, C) join the "momoir" movement, and D) continue to write even though I'm a grad school drop-out.


I hope you all enjoy it and comment often. Also, if you have suggestions for good books to read, list those too. I always end up staring blankly at the stacks when I go to the library.


I'm not sure how I feel about blogs. They feel a little egocentric. It feels weird to post stuff on the internet for the whole world to see.


Here's our cast--Me, Hayden (AKA Thunderfoot), Ben and Marlo (AKA Monkey)



There's a dog in the cast too, but I'm too lazy to add his picture right now.



Today we're off to TF's holiday party at preschool. Should be interesting. Teachers told me the kids are beyond squirrelly, and if you combine Santa with sweets and hyper preschoolers...well, there might be some swears from the less tolerant attendees. My kid appears to be scared of Santa. He initially said he didn't want to go until I promised him he did not have to sit on Santa's lap. Bringing the list would suffice. Of course, then he had all sorts of difficult questions: How does Santa get here from the North Pole? How does he carry all those presents? How does he make the night so long so that he can go to all the houses in the world? Does Santa live forever? How does he "know when we are sleeping"? And so on.

Curiouser and curiouser.
