About

About me:
I’m a wife and a mom and whatever else I feel like these days. I have issues with focusing for more than…ooh, there’s a squirrel in my yard. I’m sorry. What were you saying?

Probably you should just, I don’t know, read my blog? If you want to know about me, I mean.

About the way I roll:

I freely admit to taking this bit from Jen @ Negative Lane and her “The Fine Print” page. Because, you see, one of the ways I roll is to acknowledge that I’m biting someone else’s rhymes. I can’t stand to come across a blog where someone’s obviously copying ideas and not attributing. Not cool, man, NOT. COOL. So, with that out of the way…

Comments and whatnot…
I respond to every last comment, although I can’t lie – Jen’s commenting policy has me rethinking my own a little. Because she makes a valid point about generic responses. Having said that, I will say this – part of my decision to respond to all the comments is that I am so damn grateful to have ANY comments that I feel obligated to respond. Lame? I don’t know, nor do I much care.

I don’t think anyone else MUST share my policy, despite my past assertions that I won’t comment if an author doesn’t respond. Let’s just say that my “MY WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY” attitude was adjusted back in October of 2009. These days, I’ll comment when I want, and if I get an answer, great. If not, well, whatever. We’ll both live.

I further admit that my policy is shaped by the fact that I have time to respond to all my comments. Should I find myself with less time or way more comments, this policy is absolutely subject to change. (Not that I can imagine a time when I won’t still feel obligated to give a “thank you” to the folks who take time out of their busy lives to give me some love, but you never know.)

Blogroll…
Dude. What I’m reading changes all. the. time. Sadly, I’m epic fail at keeping my blogroll up to date. It’s just a fact of life. If you really, really want to know whose stuff I’m reading, check out my comment section. Their stuff? I’m reading it faithfully. (And miscellaneous food blogs. Plus a couple of music blogs. SEE? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I’M SAYING ABOUT BEING UNABLE TO KEEP IT UPDATED!)

Other crap…
I realized in October of 2009 that I am not obligated to share every gory detail of my life (or my family’s lives) with the entire world. That not only do I not HAVE to share them, there are times when it would be completely appropriate to NOT share those details. What this means for you, dear readers, is that while I promise to tell the truth (at least as I see it), I no longer feel obligated to tell the whole truth. Probably most of you are relieved, right?

P.S. Re: comments left here – I’m fairly laid back about comments. You disagree with me? Awesome. Swear like a sailor? Great. Personally attack me or another commenter? You’re outta here. Same goes for spamming, linkbaiting, etc. Basically, don’t be a douchebag, and all shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well. (Thanks to Julian of Norwich for that last line. See? Attribution – it’s not that hard.)
