I've been blogging at another location since June 2004, when life was all about spontaneity and evenings out. Somewhere along the way, I married and got pregnant and decided to FINISH GRADUATE SCHOOL while my daughter (age 0) was still nursing. That was crazy. I was certifiably insane, of course, and felt---for a long time---that I had lost my stable foundation. I cried a lot. I was very sleep deprived.
Four (plus) years later...
I'm a psychotherapist with a part-time practice (hence the blog move and the desire to be a touch more anonymous) and...
***drumroll, please!***
...a headlines editor for BlogHer's publishing network. I read a lot of blogs daily and love it. I do have some that I feel particularly compelled to read on a very regular basis. See my sidebar for those.

I am now the proud and occasionally much more stable mother of a 4.5 year old precious supergirl. This is my W:
When I am not working or playing, I'm trying to make a baby. We've been working at this gig for well over two years now. In October 2009, I terminated an ectopic pregnancy and bled for two months after the Methotrexate injections. I'm back together again and have been ready for another baby since the dinosaurs roamed the earth. There has been much Clomid-related drama.
And without futher delay:

BlogHer Ad Network editor.
Am a twin.
Also have a 6-years-younger brother.
I'm the over-responsible, control freak firstborn.
My twin is really good at the facade---but he's a lot like me. Only quieter.
My little brother fits the 3rd child stereotype.
From Georgia.

Am not sure I am not just in denial about that.
Worry about the day my daughter goes to college.
Am a self-help book junkie.
Don't love idle time but wish I had more of it.
Hate violence on TV/in movies.
Can't decide whether I prefer the mountains or the beach.
Or hot or cold.

and then dominate conversations with jokes.

It pains me to see other people feel awkward.
Like to do things my way.
Never want to be just mediocre.
Get joy from running, but only afterwards.

Can never find the right sunglasses.
View nature as my higher power.
Find peace in solitude.

Love my daughter's preschool,
which I think gives her access to other loving adults and friends.
That's important to be
because I don't live close to home.
Think the movement to homeschool represents what is wrong with our modern culture in that
we don't care enough to fix the schools,
we don't trust anyone else,
and we hover over our poor children.
I will not be homeschooling.
Prefer the in-between seasons.
Am scared the in-between seasons are disappearing.
Was a debutante.
Thought being a debutante was fun, but entirely without meaning.
Have never been in trouble with the law.
Would describe my body as strong.
Love my Canon Rebel XTi and take it everywhere.
Fold my husband's laundry.
He cooks.
Wish I had a paintball gun to shoot rude people.
And people who run stop signs in my n'hood.

Actually, I am a good or bad neighbor,
and there isn't any gray for me.
Am nostalgic about everything.
I scrapbook.
Like flowers but can't keep them alive.

Prefer not to get suntanned.
