about
I’m in my mid-thirties, happily married to John, and adore my dog Seamus. I’m extremely liberal, a vegetarian, and somewhat opinionated. We live in Maryland, north of Washington DC. I have a job that I love, but that I try not to talk about in detail – there was an incident, once, and I’d like to stay employed. While getting treated for infertility, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Now I'm very focused on getting fit. I started blogging in part to keep in better touch with my far-flung friends, and had no idea how many new and interesting people I’d meet on the Internet. And now you’re one of them. So… hi!

Top Chef is back! My current favorite is the Hawaiian guy, Eugene. I liked Stephanie right from the start last season, so that could be a good omen for him. We'll see.

My very first post ever!

So, I've been sitting here, staring at the computer, trying to figure out how to start.

Do I talk about my motivations for starting a blog? (Nope, no one cares about my motivations.)

Should I give a little introduction to who I am? (That seems pointless, since most of the people who read this blog probably already know me. For now anyway. Because, of course, this will become one of the most fabulous blogs ever, read by millions!)

How about bringing up my doubts about blogging? Like, will I stick with it? What about things I wouldn't want my coworkers -- or worse, my parents -- to know? Eh, that's probably been done before.

Maybe tell a funny story about my day? Did anything funny even happen to me today? Well, I thought it was Friday when I first got up. Then I thought it was Wednesday for a while, but I finally managed to connect to reality and figured out it was Thursday. Wait, that just makes me seem spacy, not funny.

Oh my god, stop over-analyzing just fucking write something already!

And so I did.
