Who Am I? Where Am I? What Am I?
I am a native Virginian and I live in the area where I grew up. This is as surprising to me as it may be to you. I’m married to the better-half and he really is the better of the two of us. The better-half and I were married in 1996. I sometimes have to take off my wedding band to remember the exact date.
We live in a neighborhood with big lots (ours is 10 acres of trees, some swamp and lots of wildlife) so we don’t actually see our neighbors all that much. The occasional wave is enough for me. I’m not much for the kumbaya at the mailbox.
Until recently, I worked for a local university creating training courses. I received my MEd in Adult Learning with a concentration in Human Resources Development in May 2009. I’m pursuing my EdS in Instructional Design and Technology and plan on finishing in May 2012.
We have three resident cats.
Simon is the oldest. His birth date was sometime in 2002 (vet estimates). He was a stray who adopted us. Simon patrols the house and backyard and by patrol I mean he paces. He is our resident old man and isn’t afraid to play or bring the paw of doom depending on his mood.
Next up is Jim. He’s mostly an outside cat, but loves a good snuggle. He was born in late April 2010. His mother is a mean, old feral cat that we started feeding during a snow storm. Jim is her first offspring. Jim has the most beautiful green eyes and this picture doesn’t do them justice. But it does show off his attitude.
The newest addition to our family is Lucy. She’s Jim’s half sister. She is from the 4th litter of the mean, old feral female. Lucy was born in September 2011. Her eyes are a completely different color than Jim’s, but she has a much bigger heart than he does. She’s a sweetie pie.
