These blogs that are little windows into one another's lives. I guess I'll just have to step up to the plate. You see, I have been a blurker (word blatantly stolen from Andrea! ) for two years. I have gained much insight, inspiration and the like from others but, more importantly, I have made some beautiful connections with people.

I don't harbor any fantasies about being an inspiration to you. No, to be connected and engaged in this crazy business of life via the online forum. That is the only goal.

So I will enter the fray by telling you about some of who I am and what the heck I am doing here:

I have been music obsessed for as long as I can remember. I will share my favorite picks with you every week...

I have been knitting since January of 2004 and am intermittently obsessed with this as well. I will share my crazy adaptations and results with you, well, intermittently...

I have been alive for 38 years. That number changes every November no matter what...

I have been a mother to Pickle Boy for 11 years and know the sheer joy of joys because of him...

and for 5 years to Fat Boy - oh the stories about this one...

I truly love taking pictures and you will see plenty of proof here. A new noteworthy camera may be in my near future...

I have been very happily divorced for 8 years.

I have lived in: Newport Beach/California, Tucson/Arizona, Laguna Beach/California, Los Angeles/California, Melbourne/Australia, Napa/California, Scottsdale/Arizona, Sonoma/California and Mill Valley/California - in that order.

Now, I thank you for stopping by. Won't you say hello?
