One-Line Bio

Blissfully Happy, Overeducated, Downwardly Mobile Underachiever

Biography

I am a life-partnered, overeducated, underpaid tea-not-coffee-drinking lesbian co-parenting and homeschooling two beautiful daughters adopted in domestic, open, transracial adoptions. We are moving in the summer of 2008 to a place yet to be determined, but I'll let you know asap.

I used to write a blogger blog called "Waiting for Nat." Once Nat arrived, we moved here.

For my biography in one sentence per year, see this post.
