I don't know why she chose me, but thank you Melissa for the awards!

and

From I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up...

So I'll go by the rules that Melissa established...a boring tidbit of me for each blog awarded:

7 Blogs, 7 Tidbits...(and yes, they all happen to be military spouses...or at least at one point):

Ellyn

Lizabee & co.
Lindsay Writing
.Lovely Yellow Ribbons.

Byers Babble

A Hapa Girl and her Hapa Family!

A Pocket Full of Buttons

1) I'm a liberal military spouse...we're a rare breed.

2) I graduated with a degree in Criminology & Criminal Justice from the #1 ranked program in the country...and doing squat with it.

3) I never envisioned myself to be a stay-at-home mom and only accepted the fact 3 years ago...my eldest is 6.  Go figure.

4) I like to eat...a lot.  Fortunately, my metabolism is higher than most and allows for that passion.  Unfortunately, it's only a smidgen of what it was...meaning...I've become very well-acquainted with the term muffin top.

5) Before kids, I imagined that at this age I'd have a graduate degree or two in hand in social justice and/or ethnic studies and teaching at the college level...and two toddlers.

6) When I accepted my position as the Director of Programs for a nat'l civil rights group I made less than I was making at the mall in my management position.

7) I love fiercely and am a very loyal person/friend.
