a pretty place to ramble

On the off-chance that any of the people I know (or some that I don't) are interested in what's going on in my often-ordinary life on a semi-regular basis, here it is. My new blog.

Here are the basics: I moved back to Minnesota after several great years in Olympia, Washington. I was engaged when I got here in July, by September I wasn't, but that's a can of worms I won't squish through right now. Maybe later.

Now I'm a Teen Services Librarian in the Hennepin County Library System. I also work part-time at REI. I live with my sister, brother-in-law, and little one-year-old niece. My blossoming career as the nutty maiden aunt living upstairs will be cut short in June when I move into my new condo. Home ownership: walls to paint, furniture to buy/borrow/scrounge, hootenaneys to host, and a mortgage to call my very own. All mine. And my dog's, but she's not much use in the painting and payment department.

So there it is. Let the ramblings continue.
