First post on a blog ever.

Wait a minute...that's not right.... It's cold.... My brain was froze...it was 2AM with BioChem and NO social life ...a good idea just lousy timing...time with "the guy" and "that other guy" and then "that guy" ... while having fun with COBOL and mainframes... Good grades. Good at it...but...broke up with "that guy"... sigh bad idea.. needed change...vaca in NYC meet future bff, move to big city and in with bff roommate...good idea till "that guy" returns...Good idea...then first son dies..."that guy" now "busy guy"... The dogs ate it.. no wait that was law school... I flunked out of law school...(sorry mom)....went to art school..for a while...talent as sculptor...who knew... I dropped out of that....(really sorry mom but it was great!!!)....had a good excuse thought became I became a parent..(okay for that I am not going to apologize I mean I made you a grandmother and there is all that lovely karmic parenting payback)..became an at-home slacker(yeah right)......time moves... I move several times.....I become parent of teenager... teenager learns to drive....(...sorry mom NOW I get it)....become mom of melodramatic, future slacker teenaged draaaaammmaaaaah king...(parent karma curse).....this isn't misery enough.... oh no.... I pick up camera and decide to become photographer....gallery owner says I'm crap..... decide writing might be good fun even with that pesky grammar/spelling problem....but something is missing.. ... oh yeah the 12 dogs...and the blog....oh and  I really am  a writer --for real...that about gets us up to date....

12 dogs and a blog.............

----------------Dear WFMU

I know. This blog and my rather screwed up past doesn't exactly spell  wonderkind hire. It does make for an understanding person and friend. Just don't expect IvyLeague.

I'm more the Kudzu League.

Like I said

Welcome to

12 dogs and a Blog

Dedicated  Slacker ever since the night that I found out that sex @ 2AM  was WAAAy the heck better than studing BioChem @2AM.    Woof!

(sigh not really. I was a nerd. true thing.)

Oh and mom and dad. Thank you very much for putting me to work in your store. I can not tell you how handy  the  things that I've learned working for you at "Kitchen Table University" have been. Thanks, Ann

For those reading. My moma said that if she was going to give me money, I might as well earn it. From age 13 I worked for my folks in their store. "Kitchen Table University" is what I call this experience. They built their business from nothing. When the retired, they'd built a profitable business that they ran over 20 years. Side by side my mom, a elementary school teacher and my father worked. These people. They flew airplanes, sailed sail boats (my father built it. over 40 ft of steel), they raised their kids and they built this business. Year after year my mother trained people who she encouraged to go to college and business.  It wasn't easy.

Thank you momma and dad you both taught me alot.

Thank you daddy. Thank you for teaching me how to read.

I know that we don't get along but I do love you both.

Ann
