The Porch Swing

I’ve avoided the ”all about me” section for months, but okay okay, I’ll dish.   I am a 50-something married woman with two mostly grown kids.  I’m a research attorney at a Very Important State Institution (shhh) in North Carolina. 
     I have four kitties and two dogs, and confess to being a Cat Nut.  I’m promiscuous with arts and crafts, tending to play around with sewing, knitting, beading, quilting, and photography without making a Lifetime Commitment to any one art form. 
      I read all the time, waste time online, never get enough sleep, am addicted to green tea frappacinos, but don’t know how to spell frappacino.  I really really like the HBO series The Wire, I love my family, hate the fact that some of them have passed on, have lost 8 pounds since Christmas, and need to be prodded to go to the gym after work.  Feel free to prod.
      Onward with the sharing.  I’ll share that I hate the thing in a new group where you go around the circle and tell about yourself.  I don’t even listen because I’m too busy dreading my turn.  What else?  I’m really good at my job.  I’m really bad at estimating time and being on time, and I’m usually about 10 minutes late.  
     This week I’ve developed an unhealthy fascination with that huge fundamentalist family in the midwest somewhere – the ones with SIXTEEN children.  This week I’m also starting to knit a pair of socks, which I’ve never tried before.  I am politically leftwards, but I hate party-line thinking (or lack thereof) by either side.  
       It’s time to go work out, so more sharing later . . .
