About Moi

To you, I’m Mrs. X.  I like being anonymous because it allows me to overshare with perfect strangers on the Internet.  I can tell you that I am 36 years old, married to Mr. X since 2003, and working lawyer mom to Rex, born in 2010.  We also have two cats and a Golden Retriever who I am convinced calls us “bitches” in his mind.

I started blogging in 2007 under the name “The Young and the Infertile” to talk about my journey to become a mom.  I finally became one in 2010 when Rex was born, but I still wanted to overshare blog so I changed names and just kept going.  This was a good thing because after the infertility and miscarriage drama, I got post-partum depression, which I swear I did not get just to have something new to blog about.   These days, as my tag says, I’m ok, you’re ok.  But, I’ll still blog about why I’m ok and you’re ok.

Other little funny things about me: I’m an only child. I suck at sharing. I curse alot.  I’m an introvert.  I’m an Atheist.  I’m a photographer. I do crossword puzzles in pen.  I quilt and make semi-useful things out of fabric.  I’m a writer.  I’m a reader.  I’m certified with the dog to visit hospitals to provide pet therapy (read = he gets belly rubs for an hour and I get to stand there holding his leash).  I have personalized license plates because I’m vain.  I used to be a good speller.  I was salutatorian of my high school class.  I’ve been on the cover of Time.  I’m pretty certain that I am the only living person in the United States to have my name (first combined with last).  I’m learning how to knit.  I play Mah Jongg with a lovely group of ladies each week.

In short, I am generally awesome and can be specifically amazing when required.
