because no one ever reads the ABOUT page anyway
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, I taught literature in a fabulous liberal studies program near Seattle. I spent my days pondering the origins of the novel, the relationship between gender and genre, and the impact of colonialism on the post-modern narrative. I drank lots of terrific coffee and the occasional mid-afternoon martini. Now I live in Oklahoma City with my husband and our two small sons (Henry, 7, and Charlie, 5); I pass the time contemplating which superhero is the strongest, what park has the most shade, and how many ways vegetarian chicken nuggets can be garnished. In my spare time, I shop for shoes, preferably pointy-toed flats that will make me look less like a mom and more like someone you might want to have drinks with.
All things considered, I love nearly every minute of this life, especially the minutes right after that first cup of coffee and right before the cocktail hour.
In between the coffee and the cocktails, I write for a few other places; you can find a full list on the actual ABOUT page for this site.
This post is part of blogme2007; you can find more information here or here. And if you’re going to be in Chicago next week, for heaven’s sake let me know! We’ll have coffee! Or a martini!

You’re so right, NO one reads the About Page! I think I shall follow your lead.
(We should have a lovely OKC-related chat at Blogher. I’m pretty sure we have few things in common. Not to mention, a small shoe obsession.)

The About page is always my first stop. But I am weird. And also I am sad, because I am not going to BlogHer.

We have an OKC connection too. That’s where my husband grew up and my in-laws still reside… and I’m always up for a mah-tini!
Can’t wait to meet you in Chicago!

I found you through Chris. I’m just north of you in Blackwell.
I won’t be in Chicago, but will catch part of the conference in Second Life.
HAVE FUN! I’m sooooo jealous!

after two years of blogging, this event has finally forced me to come up with an about me page.
uuggghhh…. i’m not so sure about it.

I will have a pomegranate martini ready just for you. Mocha and I are sharing a room, and I’m in charge of cocktails.
Can’t wait to meet you!
