Hello!

So I’ve had this blog for a while, and abso-frickin-lutely nothing whatsoever to say! Since I just linked this blog to my Flickr account, I figured I’d give a little “about me” post a go.

So, about me. My name is Michele. I live “Down by the River” in New Jersey. If you really really need to know exactly where I live in NJ, then, you’re S.O.L., I guess?

This blog is called Type a. As in I’m not a classic Type A (for our purposes here, “Big” A) personality. At least not anymore. I don’t iron my pillowcases and underwear. I am no longer OCD about cleaning or straightening up. I have been known to arrange my money by ASCENDING serial number. (Gah! That makes it sound like I have buckets of it and I’m compulisvely arranging it! We’re talking 7 or 8 singles here!) I’m still relatively ambitious, though my horizons have changed somewhat since becoming a wife and mother. So that alone means I’m no free spirit artistic type. (Type “B”) No amount of fast food wrappers on the floor of my car will change that. So therefore I’m Type little (or lowercase) a.

I married a super sexy computer geek, who we’ll call J/Daddy The Highlander, in January 2004 and we have a daughter, Ducky-Duck, who was born in June 2004. (Hey you! Yes YOU! The one doing the “math” Stop doing math!) For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, I will be 29 in August. August 26th to be exact, if you are REALLY interested.

Obviously, the above is an old picture and I’ll admit that I hardly look my best in it, but at least you know I’m not vain! Also since it’s mostly me that *takes* the pictures, I was having a hard time finding a decent one. So I had to dig back to 2004!

Until very recently, I was a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM) sucking off the teat of my husband’s fat paycheck, buying junk at Target, and making sure my daughter keeps her diaper on. (Tangentally, her diaper is now OFF.) But alas, the time for me to rejoin the workforce has come. I work part time at a small business. We’re in the middle of the transition right now.

I like cross stitching, especially things with naughty words, farting around on the internet, playing with my daughter, playing with my husband (oh get your mind out of the gutter!), reading, mexican food, alcohol, going out to movies, pausing live TV, wireless ANYTHING, hot dogs, talking on the phone but NEVER EVER listening to my voice mail, telling jokes and generally being a smartass, taunting my friends and family and I don’t know what else. Something. I’ll get back to you.

This is where I should post the things I don’t like. Hmm. It’s going to be a long list, and you and I just met, Google-Bot (’cause who the hell else is reading this anyway?) so maybe I’ll try to accentuate the positive. Just kidding. You thought I’d gone all Pollyanna on you! No, I’m sure there will be whole entries devoted to the things that chap my ass, but right now I’m entirely too lazy. Damn, thinking of the things I like was hard enough.

OK. I’ll give you one: I don’t like seafood. There I said it. If you want to leave, I understand.

So this concludes my “present”, next entry will be my “past” and I guess the whole damn blog is the “future”? Unless you are reading this in 2091 or something…………

OK, no more geekage.
