My husband and I are raising our two daughters in a Midwestern college town. I teach high school English (and no, that does not mean you have to watch your grammar around me), and I’m a grad student. I believe sloppy joes and chardonnay are a perfectly acceptable food-beverage combination (for me, not the kids). People come to me when they want to know who starred in movie from 25 years ago. I prefer cooler weather to hot days, but I enjoy both. I am most relaxed sitting in my back yard. If I would have joined the band in grade school, I would have been a drummer. I’m always a little suprised when people seem to like me. I hate conflict and will obsess for days over something I said that came out wrong. I have been described as 3 parts Pollyanna and 1 part evil, which, as I think about it, pretty much describes me perfectly. Go figure.
Thanks for stopping by!
