| Introduction | So, I had a fantastic career for 9 years in, let's say, an industry that requires interaction with a lot of people. I traveled, had a direct staff of 7 (indirect of hundreds), managed accounts in several states - and I loved it. My job was my life and almost drove my husband to leave me a few times. But I was 'large and in-charge', if I may, and was never really sure if the family life was for me so work work work! ...So what happened? My company took on a new direction and I was, as they say, 'relieved of duty' after almost 5 years... Oh, and I was 7 months pregnant with our first child... Oh, and we had just bought our first house (forclosure) and blew our savings rehabbing it. FML. Ah, but I bounced back! I started a new job just 3 months after having a bouncing baby boy. In adapting to and loving being a mom, I realize I need a place to 'blow off some steam'! Enter blog :) The good news is that I also re-discovered my love (and occasional talent) of the kitchen. So here we go... |
| Interests | Cooking, reading, being a mom, self-diagnosing on the internet (definately bi-polar), stumbling-upon, trying not to piss off my husband to the point of leaving me while still sustaining required personal weekly argument quotas. |
| Favorite movies | Eat Pray Love, Julie & Julia, and just about anything involving British history. |
| Favorite music | Country, Oldies, and anything Beastie Boys. |
| Favorite books | Lots of Philippa Gregory, some spy novels, currently trying to get through Steig's Millenium trilogy... I also read just about everything out there on the Holocaust when I was in my early 20's (my darker days) |
