And so it begins....

Welcome to the NannyHood! As a long term resident of this 'hood, I have lots of tales to tell, experiences to share, and ideas to offer up for your consumption.

A little more about me? Well, I've been a nanny for 15 years, and I love my chosen career. Yep, there are days I want to toss it all away and run off to a deserted island where no one will ask me "Why?" or collapse in a tantrum at my feet, but those days are few and far between. Which is why I still can claim to possess most of the sanity I was born with.

Other stuff...I am allowed to pay for and live in a condo with my cat. In return, I get litter box duty, hairballs in random places, and the occasional "playful" swipe of claws when I walk past HRH without permission.

Love to read, and one day will post a link to my shelfari page.

Can't knit, want to learn.

Eat way too much chocolate. I am campaigning for it to be declared the 5th major fod group, and will keep you all appraised of my progress.

Have been legally able to vote since 1988 (this would be a hint as to my age), and have yet to cast a ballot for a presidential candidate I was genuinely excited about. This year seems doomed to continue that trend.

Am considered to be rather opinionated, as well as...determined. (Stubborn is the actual term used, but I find that word so distasteful...), so if any of you in the reading audience (looks around hopefully) want to banter or debate, feel free.

Avid reader of ISYN, which prompted me to start this mishmash of a blog.

More to follow as events warrant!
