About Me

I am the first pancake.

I am 31 years old, but look like I’m about 17 -  I always get carded.  I’m married to a geologist. I’m a stay at home mom. I love to read. I love to cook. I have a younger brother, and a younger sister, Annie, who has Down Syndrome.

I’m a fan of dark chocolate, the Portland Trailblazers, german engineering, lemon pledge, the BOB Revolution, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Target, pumpkin spice lattes, pajama pants, that new baby smell, recycling, old farmers, and catholic education.

I am afraid of fish, and I strongly dislike cauliflower, cilantro, winter, the skinny jean, Bjork and her indie hipster icelandic wailing, short stories, french toast, and animated television.

I would rather my husband cheat on me than vote for a Republican, but I harbor a secret soft spot for Ronald Reagan.

I will always always always support a woman’s right to choose, and I will never vote for anyone who doesn’t.

I lost sixty pounds before I got pregnant with my son, Eli, aka Senor Pants.

Now I’m trying to lose 20 pounds of baby weight.  It’s turning out to be a lot harder the second time around.

Although I no longer live in Nebraska, I still believe in making the best of what you’ve got.

And writing this blog keeps me sane.
