I’ve always had trouble narrowing down my interests. In a past life I could easily see myself as a scientist, a veterinarian, a teacher (well, I was one of those in this life too), a politician, a psychologist and so much more. Writing is the perfect way to not have to choose! So welcome to my self-indulgent project of writing about anything and everything that means something to me. I hope you find something you enjoy here!
A little about me personally:
I am an extremely lucky woman. I have the most amazing 6-year-old daughter who makes me laugh every day. I have an incredibly supportive boyfriend and wonderful friends and family. Yes, I am an extremely lucky woman.
“A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.” ~Kurt Vonnegut
I’m a walking contradiction . . . I blame it on being a Leo-Virgo cusp baby . . . I’ve never claimed normalcy . . . or sanity for that matter.
I’m neurotic, have a lot of baggage, and am prone to mood swings. I also take precious little in this life seriously, am quite capable of laughing at myself, and find pleasure in the simple things in life.
I am freelance writer/copy editor. I’d like to go back to school. The problem is that I can’t narrow down exactly what I want to go back to study (see first paragraph). So at the moment, I am sticking with freelance work and taking care of my family.

Great post!!! You are an excellent quote-finder. The Vonnegut line is profound, in an obvious kind of way. I can completely identify with this: “I am a walking contradiction.” I started a post (and abandoned it) about the time when a guy called me a paradox years ago. I’m not sure he meant it as a compliment, but that’s how I took it. : )
Thanks Shawna!
I am a huge Vonnegut fan and have found the he had quite a knack for stating the obvious in a profound way!
I would so definitely take paradox as a compliment . . . . it’s so much fun to keep people guessing
I have never read his work but have intended to several times. What are your favorites?
The first I read was Slaughterhouse-Five. I thought it was brilliant, but it seems to be hit or miss whether or not people like it. Breakfast of Champions is probably my favorite Vonnegut book. The most recent one I read was Timequake, which isn’t so much a novel as Vonnegut’s excuse to write a whole bunch of anecdotes of his life. It’s hysterical. (It was also his last book.) Cat’s Cradle is another awesome one
And I’ll leave you with another of my most favorite Vonnegut quotes:
“Don’t use semicolons. They stand for absolutely nothing. They are transvestite hermaphrodites. They are just a way of showing off. To show that you have been to college.”
Love that quote! Cracking up … silently!
