About Me

I'm a single mom with 3 kids who also happens to be an accounting manager for a big manufacturing company. You wouldn't think I'd have a lot of free time, but somehow I find myself around here more often than you'd suspect.

I love to cook when I have the time. I've been known to put back my fair share of beers (but I stopped doing that a little while ago). I'm also a big reader. It's not advisable, I've found, to cook, drink beer and read a book at the same time.

Most of my time is spent either working at my daytime accounting job or working at my other full-time job which is being a mom (that one pays the least). My kids are always doing stuff like being in band and gifted classes. They play all kinds of sports and take lessons and stuff. So, I stuff them all in the back of "Minnie" (my Honda Odyssey) and take them wherever it is that they need to go. Sometimes, they get sick and then we get to take field trips to the doctor's office and the pharmacy.

I like to write blogs, so you should check them out when you get a chance. Click the thinga-ma-bob underneath this to subscribe.

Hmm...looks like the thinga-ma-bob is missing. Just click the thing up there that says subscribe. That should work.

Oh, nevermind. I fixed it. Here it is...
