Wow ... all of those other pages to look at and you still want to know about me?  I'm shocked ... I'm flattered ... I'm, um, busy.  I've got deadlines, people!  But never fear -- I'm working on it!  And since you obviously have a few moments to kill (otherwise you would have moved on without ever seeing this page -- see how clever I am?) why not forward this site to a few of your closest, richest, writer-needinest friends.  They can hire me, I'll stay busy, and, well,  I won't have to sit here making up words like "needinest."  

Here are a few tidbits:

I have been happily, delightfully, and luckily married to my hubby, Ryan, for more than 12 years.  He likes to call them "very, very long years" but we'll just assume he's kidding -- otherwise the next 12 will be very, VERY long ones indeed!  So no matter how much you enjoy my charm and my wit, you'll just have to enjoy them from a distance because  I am SO taken!

Mr. Right and I have five delightful children, ages 2-11.  Everyone tells us how well-behaved they are - something that, frankly, makes me wonder what kind of kids they're hanging out with.  But I'll give the kids some credit:  they (occasionally) do chores without being asked, they have great manners, and they look out for one another.  They're also teaching one another very important combat and debate skills for the future AND darn if they're not pretty adept at helping me learn to work under pressure. In this circus, it's my only option.
