Personally
I started blogging back in March of 2001. God I feel old. I had my first son in January of 2002, I had my second son in October of 2009. They will be almost 8 years apart. Yes, they have different biological fathers, or as I like to say “baby daddies”.
My oldest son’s biological father has chosen to not be involved in his life. It used to sting but after having my son live with him for 5 miserable months, realized it’s the best thing for him, aside from one day getting him to sign over his parental rights. There’s a lot of drama involved, some of you know/saw/hear/read it all.
My son however, completely adores my boyfriend and my boyfriend completely adores my son. I know, I’m lucky! We have chosen to homeschool/unschool my oldest which is very exciting for everyone involved. Already my son’s interest in learning has slowly started to come back. He LOVES math. Which is a shock to me because I’ve never had much of an interest in it.
I am a fraternal twin. My sister is two minutes older than me with a little girl, who my son calls his sister… close enough! I have a younger brother but we don’t have much in common, since he still hasn’t settled down yet.
I live in Des Plaines, IL. It’s expensive because we live close to Chicago. 10% tax in these parts! I used to work for Geek Squad (for almost two years). Once I became pregnant with my second baby, my work place (Best Buy in Schaumburg) became very stressful. I have a lot of bitterness about it and have had a lot of previous co-workers validate my feelings on the way I was treated.
I currently live in a house with our 8yr old son, our baby son, my boyfriend, and a cat who is massive and I call “puppy”, although his name is Rokky. I hate the spelling but the cat existed here before I did.
Domain
Started in Early November of 2001 (I was previously co-owner of another domain, spunkysprite.com, then got OSN).
I built this site with PHP, CSS, XHTML, WordPress, and late nights.
Gear
I use a lovely Nikon D90 (previously the D50) with the following lenses and such.
- Nikkor 18-105mm
- Nikkor 50mm 1.8
- Tamron 70-300mm
- Sigma 10-20mm
- Sigma 105mm 2.8 Macro
- Nikkor 85mm 1.8
- Nikon SB-600 flash
I have other things such as a tripod, ball head, etc but I can’t remember most of the stuff in my bag (Crumpler).
There is a ton of other gear I want here on my Amazon Wishlist.
