I am a shiny by nature and lazy by aptitude mama, squandering my youth with one man, one baby, two cats and more dust bunnies than i care to admit to in public. I like bright clothes, tranquil children and hardy plants. 

As I  juggle baby-care, cat-worshipping and some erratic studying and use up the last months of my maternity leave, I try also to find time to write and read as much as possible (oh Internet, I can't quit you!) and shake my fist at the particularly dreary summer we are having this year.

I am ably assisted in my quest by my heroic husband who puts the baby to sleep every night and sustains me with papaya and martinis.

I also write stuff here: http://rainsinger.livejournal.com
