BIENVENUE

Welcome to my online journal. The day-to-day musings of a young wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend and colleague. God knows I don't really have the time of day to record my thoughts for posterity, with a husband, two toddlers, a 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house and Boris the Cat to take care of, but I'm taking a calculated plunge. Why? Well, aside from the fact that it takes me away from my housekeeping, (another alibi for a seasoned procrastinator as myself), it also affords me the forum I need during those days when I feel particularly verbose, without alienating anyone from my e-mail list. Lucky for me (and for you, if you've ever received one of my epic e-mails), today is not one of those days. So I will go back to making my leche flan, which I plan to give to our new next-door neighbors as a welcome present. Chicken curry is on the stove, waiting for Lorenzo, and my babies are upstairs sleeping. Boris, bless his Russian Blue heart, is in his usual spot, sharing the seat with me as I type this. He purrs, the computer hums, and I am lulled by the sweet somnolence of domesticity.

And everything is as it should be.
