About Me

Have you ever gotten home from a party and realized that you talked way too much, revealing way too much about yourself? If so, you're going to love my eccentric musings and random misadventures. If not, you'll probably laugh at me, not with me. So in the end, we're all entertained, right?

But for those who like to know these sorts of things, I'm a former reporter who did not miss calling people up after their kin died (or made a fool of themselves)(or killed someone else), but who did miss writing. So when I heard that blogs existed I was, like, "Hooks a girl up!"

My blogging career started off sketchy, but over time I realized that ranting was more of my style than a weekend recap. So while you may know far more about me than you ever wanted to, you may also wonder what I actually do with my time. (Good question.)

As for the basics, I'm from Arizona, but I now live in the greater Chicago area because my husband came out here for grad school and got a job nearby. I love the city, but I hate the weather. I also hate the way a middle lane will just merge with no warning out here. If anyone knows who to talk to about this, please let me know.

I love my husband. I love my daughters. I love to shop (often at Target). I love to read news stories, and constantly live in fear that I'm going to miss a major news event and never be able to say, "I remember where I was when [such-and-such] happened."

Finally, I'm a bit of a pop culture junkie, which means I know the theme song to "Shaft," which will never come in handy in an emergency, but will keep people amused while I borrow their supplies. So there's that.

Any questions?
