A little about me

I'm not new to writing, in fact, I've kept a journal since I was 10, but this is my first 'real' blog. I figured I'd introduce myself.

My name is Anna. I am married to my best friend of 16 years, Jeff. He rubbed my feet every single day that I was pregnant. He makes me laugh when I am ready to kill him. More importantly, he is an amazing father. He loves me not in spite of all my many flaws, but perhaps because of them. I could go on for days and days about how wonderful he is.

We have a son together, Alec Kensington. Alec will be 7 months old the day after tomorrow (January 6). He is the sweetest, smartest, cutest little boy I've ever had the privilege of birthing. He is perfection in a onesie. He is just about my entire world.

A little about me?


I like making lists.
My favorite color is pink.
If something is pretty or has a picture of a cocktail, I WANT!
I'm more of a cat person, but I still love dogs.
I like to stop and smell the roses.
I think recycling is a BIG DEAL.
Jelly beans and gummy bears rock!
I'd like to be organized enough so that my undergarments always match (ha ha, never going to happen)
I have a three tattoos.
I always close my eyes when I dance.
I cry often. I've cried every time I've watched Beauty and the Beast. Dance moves me to tears.
I'm a Libertarian. I'm spiritual, but not religious.
My friends would say I'm fun, funny, compassionate, intelligent, open-minded, and a loud mouth.

I've started this blog because I've always journaled. I think I started my first when I was 10-12, but it may have been earlier. I like to share. I don't think there is any particular direction this will go. In other words, I'm not creating a "family" blog, or a "specialty" blog. This is just for my random thoughts.

I hope you enjoy!
