Teacher, writer, goofball. Engaged, insecure, irratic. Love my family, my fuzzies, my friends (though not necessarily in that order). 28, east coast, daydreamer. No oven, no real job. Have anxiety, will wig out.

About me? Isn’t that what the blog’s about? Will add to this as necessary.  Here’s a little on those I write about:

MB: the fiance. Engineer. OCD. Loves dragons, video games, his car, his mom, his dogs, and, oh yeah, me.

Mom C: the almost-in-law. Best friend and worst nightmare. Needy at times. Means well.

My parents: Mom’s overprotective, Dad cries when we hang up or leave. Love ‘em immensely.

My sisters: TF (the eldest), TL (my confidant) and TB (TG in older entries). Love hate relationship, though I don’t think they get it. They’re my other three mothers.

My sister’s kids: doubt I have nicknames for them all, at least none I can remember at the moment. Love ‘em fiercely. Woe to the person that wrongs “my kids”. Best siblings I never had. The ones whose nicknames I do remember: E, Brittsie Cat, K, Beaner, M, and Baby Girl.

L: my former best friend. Met in middle school (lord… 1993…). Married to MB’s supposed best friend D. They set us up back in 2004. We never hang out anymore. Mentioned mostly in archives.

Trail Blazer: truest friend I’ve ever had. Met in middle school, same time as L. Distance has never stopped us from staying close.

The card group: JC and Mama Bear, Poker C and her husband, Big K and his wife, and Billy B.

Midget 1 and Midget 2: MB’s friends that I accidentally appropriated. Younger than me by 9 and 11 years respectively. Again with the sisters I never had. Part of Our Favorite Family.

Our Favorite Family: LJ, The Editor, Midgets 1 and 2, and their brother (who we hardly ever see and,hence, has no nickname at the moment)

Skippy the Wonder Mechanic: Midget 1’s man. Quiet, still getting to know him.

Social Butterfly: another of MB’s friends. Has a tendency to igore us, even though she invites us out. Big into showing horses (among other various and sundry farm animals).

Spastic E: daughter of Mama Bear.

Tenae and Phoenix: our cats. Tenae thinks I’m the Anti-Christ and Phoenie is an ankle biter (literally).

Tootsie Pup: our newest addition. One of Baron and Sugar’s puppies born 02-28-09.

Baron and Sugar: the Goldens that live with Mom C. Adore these two! Baron’s shy and adoring of only MB, and Sugar is the World’s Friendliest Dog.

Crazy A: Little T’s mom. Really bonded late summer/fall ‘08. She’s a nut and I love her. She’s with The Contractor, who’s… picture Santa Claus. Yeah, a big teddy bear.

Little T: I don’t see her much since she graduated high school. Thinks she’s a skater punk/hoodrat. She’s another sister I never had. Engaged to Loud Mouth, who I don’t like.

D Savvy: border at the farm and surrogate grandmother, as it were, to MB.

Artie: the Anal-Retentive Engineer and MB’s co-worker. He means well and is in a lot of ways like MB, but he drives me nuts! He’s married toVeggie Girl, who I’m also not 100% jiving with either.

The birth family: Bmom, Aunt Grandma, SisterCuz1 (SisterCuz L in some entries), SisterCuz2 (SisterCuz J in some entries), BroCuz3 (BroCuz in some entries), BroCuz2 (MIABroCuz in some entries), and BroCuz1 (BroCuz C in some entries)
