About Your Hostess

I was born and bred in Texas. I ran cross-country in high school and had periods of doing quite well, which typically culminated in an injury that would take me out for months. That's not really important in the Grand Scheme of Things, but I feel that it does explain my life quite well.

I do things well for a bit, but then something always comes and takes me out for months.

I'd like to fix that.  As of July 2010, I am 30-years-old. I am a Mom to a 6-year-old and a 4-year-old. I am wife to a 31-year-old, though sometimes I refer to him as the third kid...as he can play harder than both of the little ones combined.

I once worked as a features writer at a newspaper. I both loved and hated that job. I've also written professionally for a variety of newspapers and magazines. Then the economy started to tank and many of my contacts went out of business, and I decided to take a break.

And so...here I am.
