About Me

I am your ordinary run-of-the-mill mom of four usually delightful kids.   I’m married to a pretty wonderful guy who graciously allows my often relentless chatter take up hours of his beloved free time.  Plus, he rarely gets me in trouble for my inevitable babbling to other people even though he knows it may contain information that he would regard as private.  I dislike cleaning, and I like the couch.  I love junk food and consider watching x-weighted on TV my form of healthy living.  I talk a lot and think even more.  Most of all, I am drawn to be connected to others, even if it is across the span of internet wires. 

I wonder if there’s room for yet another rambling blog on an already blog-infested cyber world.  Yet, when I’m left wide awake on multitudes of nights with ideas that are sticking in my head like flees to a dog, I raise my hands in submission and write.

To stick to my compulsion to over inform, here’s some more background details about me.  I grew up with three older siblings and an identical twin.  My parents had a wonderful marriage that led me to feel like my childhood was almost heaven like.  As much as I disliked people regarding my twin and me as “the twins” or thinking that we were one and the same person, it was easy to cling to security of having an almost always like-minded sidekick.  At least we didn’t have to spend a whole bunch of time trying to figure out who was who when we were referred to as “ugly and her sister beautiful” either.  My dearly beloved dad passed away from cancer when I was almost 19 and to this day, I am well aware of many ways that that heartbreaking experience shaped me.  In many ways, it made me hyper aware of what is truly important in this life.  I’d like to think that allows me to have fewer breakdowns about the trivial disappointments in life.  It has also made me painfully aware that, yes, bad things do and will happen.  Despite inevitable struggles and tragedies, I remain bound and determined to cling to the rich joys in this life and I settle on the hope that one day, every tear will be wiped away and the lion will fall asleep by the lamb.

I invite you to indulge in this transparent record of my musings.  May you find mild entertainment in some of my writings and a slight bit of inspiration from others.  Thanks for joining me.
