Man. I hate writing this about me crap. I have an About Me category you can read entries from. That might be entertaining. Let me know. The important facts? I was born in Tennessee, I currently live in Alabama. I have two kids. They are 11 years apart. This was not my intention but my eventual diagnosis as a repeat aborter seemed to be the culprit. I would like to have more kids if my endometriosis, fibroids, and nasty habit of miscarrying will allow me. I am currently pregnant with AndyZ who will arrive sometime in May 2008. I had another miscarriage between him and NikkiZ because the universe does not want me to forget that I’m not allowed to have successful pregnancies consecutively. I have a sexy husband who has biceps that will make you drool. I work full time out of the home. I was laid off in January 2008. Since I was very obviously pregnant at the time, I decided that trying to find a new job would be harder than usual. I am currently rocking the SAHM gig for the first time ever and the jury is still out about whether or not I’m any good at it. I am also trying to earn money freelancing until AndyZ is born and I become a much better interview candidate. I have been re-hired by my old company to work part-time until AndyZ arrives. Once I finish my maternity leave with him, I’ll return to work full-time. I’m so confused by my professional status right now it’s not even funny.

I was raised by my Dad whom I adore. I blame my goofy sense of humor and my love of maps on him. My Mom and I have gotten very close in the last few years and I blame her for my love of college football (GO VOLS) and diet coke. I have a brother who I lovingly refer to as a fat-ass because his ass is not really fat. If it ever gets fat? I’ll stop calling him that, I promise. I also pee a lot and salt all of my foods. I don’t know if the two are related but they are equally important.

Once upon a time I started nine million different blogs on blogger and hated them all because they were all ugly and annoying and I never got the hang of “blogging”. I even wrote an entry telling people how to start a blog based on my experiences. I kept trying to use Movable Type since so many sites used that, but I couldn’t figure it out because MT has to be run on the server that hosts your blog, not on your personal computer, and that was long before I understood what those words meant. I just got pissed off that I couldnt get it to “install” and gave up. Then, I found Typepad. I went through many domain names and many, many, MANY ugly designs before I arrived at this here blog you are reading today. If you missed all of the middle phases? Be glad. There were a lot of large purple letters and pictures of my tattoos. I make no apologies for those designs, but I am very glad I am no longer using them. I am also very glad I learned how to use Movable Type. FINALLY. Update - 11/2006 - I made the switch to Wordpress. I did it because (a) There is a huge user community I love and (b) my new job used Wordpess so it gave me more experience. So far? I’m loving it.
