Hi there!

I'm Laura - a single working mom to 2 great elementary-school-aged kids, a professional musician, student, and impresaria.  My life is hectic.  It's out of control sometimes.  And I have days when I would be most happy just surfing the web and exploring whatever random subject strikes my fancy at that moment.  I'm pretty sure I've got adult-onset ADD, but I really have no desire to actually DO anything about that fact.  I LIKE finding something new and interesting all the time.  What I DON'T like about it is my inability to stay focused on just a couple of things at a time - I get bored easily.

I'm also a terrible Facebook addict.  There are days when I post multiple items every hour - usually a sure sign of boredom and lack of focus. There are even occasional days when I don't post anything at all (I gotta say though...that's usually a very conscious choice and usually rooted in something a friend might have said that made me think I should stop posting for awhile - did I mention that I care too much about what other people think of me sometimes as well?).

In short, I'm human.  I have weaknesses and strengths.  I have good days and bad days.  I'm a little OCD but passionate and focused on things that bring me huge amounts of joy.  I'm a whole pile o' conflicting states of mind.  But in general, I'm pretty happy about being me.

I envision this blog to be the dumping ground for all my various daily interests - whether it's a fleeting obsession with eating more healthy, a never-to-be-fulfilled desire to homeschool my kids, a place to post my latest favorite item on Etsy (or any other online store), a rant about religion, bitching about work or school, ponderings on the vagaries of relationships...it's all bound to make it in here on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis.

So if you like random, if you like reading stuff from someone who would never ever EVER consider herself a gifted writer, then ENJOY!  I look forward to sharing (maybe oversharing) my odd little life with you.
