I'm the work-at-home mom of one 16 year-old and one 3 year-old- both girls. I spend a lot of time enjoying just being with those two people. I'm unabashedly addicted to American politics and Sudoku.

Most of my blogging centers around the moderately left view of the political scene and the interactions of the left blogosphere.

I recently went back to college to get my degree in Computer Technology, with a focus on Internet/Media/Web design. Because I can only go part-time I'll be happily announcing my graduation in about 10 years.:) As it is I enjoy taking classes and interacting with other older-than-usual students. I've noticed that most of us take the evening classes.

When I'm not otherwise occupied with my children, writing, or school, I spend stolen moments with my husband of 5 years.

And that is me.
