Name:pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Location:New Castle, Delaware, United States
Birthdate:1975-08-25
Bio:Where to start? I'm a 32 year old transplanted Southerner. Originally from Chattanooga, TN, I spent some time in Spartanburg, SC for college and moved to Winston-Salem, NC for grad school before ending up here in Delaware. Things I miss: sweet tea, easy access to Sonic, being close to my mom. Things I don't miss: living in a republican-dominated state, living where the humidity smacks you in the face if you go outside pretty much any day between April and October. I've been married for 8 years to my husband S. and we have one son, 6 year old Jamie.

I'm the Barbara, mom of 7 year old Jamie, that posts (way!) less frequently than I used to on misc.kids.* newsgroups (ok...I never post anymore. But I used to!), so if you are wondering who the heck this person is that added you, it could be because I recognized your name from there. :) Or because you're a friendsfriend and I thought you sounded interesting, or because I saw something you posted in a community and loved it, or....any number of reasons, really. Feel free to ask me if you're curious. :)

From looking at my communities, you would get the impression that I'm an absolutely rabid breastfeeder/boob nazi. While that's true in part, it's more that I'm just strangely fascinated by LJ drama, and there's a lot to be found in the parenting communities. ;)

Most of my entries are friends-only. Trust me, there's way more here than meets the eye. Leave me a comment or add me to your list if you'd like to be added--please note, however, that I won't add someone who has a "reading only" journal (that is, one with no entries) without knowing who you are. Just drop me an email or a comment, in that case...it's not hard!

Random things I'm into right now: Scrabulous on Facebook, World of Warcraft, the show "How It's Made", and pretty much anything on the Science Channel because I am a big geek. :)
