About
I was born in 1975 via emergency cesarian. This hasn’t affected me at all; well, except that given the choice, I’d rather leave the house through the window than the door.
My parents had a lot of sex. Just not with each other. I have 9 siblings, and I know 2 of them.
I was raised in one of the more awesome Judeao Christian cults. And then I got a sex drive. And then I choiced out.
I moved to Colorado in 1992. After a good bout with altitude sickness and a wee bit of frostbite, I realized that you can get drunk way faster one mile up. Denver is awesome and and I decided to stay for a while.
I met a boy in 1996 and forced him, totally against his will, to have sex with me. Shortly thereafter, I got my engagement ring. It weighs 75 pounds, stand 4 feet tall and smells a bit off, 9 years later.
I think I am funnier than I am. I imagine that I have great taste in music. I can cook, just not cookies.

I actuallly think you are funnier than you think you are. Well, wait, you do think you are funny. Okay, so maybe you and I think you are funnier than other people do. How’s that sound?
Stumbled on your blog -and I think its a riot!! Glad I found it, and thanks for putting a huge smile on my face! I need some whiskey in my sippy cup, too! LOL I have just started this whole blog thing, and I am surprised to find so many moms in the same “life”. Glad to know we are all laughing together! :)
Leslie’s last blog post..“I’m just here to pick up my mail”
Got your comment after linking your blog. Thanks for sharing such important stuff!
I have an eight-month-old, my first, and am 95% positive that I have PPD and/or PPA. Slowly trying to come to grips with the fact that I need meds. Am resisting out of fear, not wanting to let go of breastfeeding, scared of meds in general, scared of weight gain (history of eating disorder), meanwhile, I’m causing serious damage to my marriage, venting tons of rage at my husband, and not enjoying the happiest, sweetest, cutest baby girl that I can’t believe I gave birth to. Not feeling like I deserve her at all. Just moved across the country to a small town where we know two people. Bought our first house which is turning out to need a lot more fixing-up than we expected. Feeling very isolated. It’s hard. I’m almost ready to call that doctor….I need to do it for my daughter, my husband. But I’m so scared.
Anyway, reading your post made me feel a lot less crazy, a lot less alone, and like SOMEONE FINALLY GETS IT!!! I can’t tell you how important that was for me. Hope I have the courage to blog about this someday, when it’s over.
I can’t read this blog very often, because it makes me miss the author too much. She was forcefully taken from me and relocated to the land of Shatner. She belongs in Denver where we can have our all night talks and she can keep me off of the clock tower one day at a time.
She’s smart about her blog, and it can’t be an easy balance to strike. She is honest and forthcoming with her stream of conciousness enough to make this disjointed wad of prose fascinating, however she edits her thoughts enough to keep the straightjackets at bay.
Love Ya Doll!
