About Us

Eirinn Elise, AKA Crazy Lady, is my 3 year old daughter (oh my word – did I just type 3?  3!).  She was born on March 7, 2006 at 10:55 am.  She came into this world in typical Eirinn fashion – when she wanted, which was four weeks early.  But she was big (6lbs, 14oz at 36 weeks is pretty hardy, if you ask me) and healthy and the prettiest baby ever.  Three years later and she still holds that record.  She is wild, gets into everything, shows no mercy, and sleeps as little as possible.  But she is my heart.

Avery Quinn, AKA Widdle Debil,  is my second daughter.  She was born June 30th, 2008 at 10:36 a.m., at almost 39 weeks.  Not in as big a hurry as her big sister, but impatient, nonetheless.  I think they get that from me.  She came fast and furious and was big (8lbs 15 oz, 20″) and healthy and tied the record for prettiest baby ever.  She’s incredibly loud, frustratingly independent, and has grabbed her own piece of my heart.

Bosco is my dog.  He’s small and loud and has OCD.  Oh, and he’s obsessed with me.  Like creepy obsessed.  I’m thinking about taking out a restraining order.

My husband wishes to remain anonymous in case someone steals his identity or stalks him or something crazy like that.  So his name is Anonymous Husband.  And that is all he has permitted me to reveal.  Ooooo…mysterious…

Here I am, in list-form, 15 bullets or less:

  • I love lists.  And bullets.  And right angles.  But that’s neither here nor there, whatever that means.
  • At the moment I am 29, but 30 is hiding around the corner sticking its evil, snake tongue at me, blowing raspberries.
  • I have ambitions of being ambitious, but haven’t found an outlet yet.  I have interests, but nothing that is getting me paid.
  • I am an amateur blogger, fledgling aspiring graphic designer (ha!!!), and a non-profit social group co-founder.
  • I watch too much tv because I have low standards and a long attention span.
  • Nothing makes me more angry than telling me I’m angry before I’m angry.
  • I bake weekly.  Therefore, I eat too much butter and too much sugar.
  • Lucky for me, I was blessed with a high metabolism.  Hopefully I was also bequeathed a strong heart.
  • I only use words like ‘bequeathed’ when I write.
  • I went to college for (in order): journalism (quit after one year – not for me, thanks), general arts & science (just took that to stay in school while I figure out what my calling was), business – human resources.  I actually got my diploma in that one.  Three years of college paid for in cash and I don’t use one single ounce of the knowledge I earned.
  • When I was in college, I was a manager - excuse me, supervisor - at a fast food restaurant.  I still have dreams about bossing people around in that stink-hole.  I was quite the drill sergeant.
  • I love doughnuts.  Everything about them.  If I could marry a doughnut, I would.  Especially if it had sprinkles.  And did the laundry.
  • I have freakishly large hands.  Like the infamous Seinfeld ‘man hands’.  Almost.  If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you.  And I bet they’re bigger than yours.  18.75 cms or 7.25″ to be exact.
  • I watch UFC, but I am not a redneck, no matter what my husband tells you.  I don’t Christmas shop at the 7-11, my family tree has many branches, and my house is not on wheels.
  • Those are my girls down there; the most important people in my world.  And the cutest.  And the smartest.  And the funniest.
