The Cast of Characters

So I thought I'd tell you about the folks who will figure most prominently in my stories...  there is Kidlette, who is 5 and a whirlwind.  There is G.  We have been married for almost 9 years and he is my rock.  There are assorted dogs and cats.  And there is moi.  I am 39, work in the Information Technology field, have lived all over the country, but currently make the Pacific Northwest my home.  I love to cook.  I love to read.  I lost 40 pounds last year.  I'd like to loose another 40-50 pounds this year.  I try to exercise about 6 days a week.  I obsess about money.  I'm currently on a downsizing kick (more about that later).  And I thought this would be a great place to talk about all the things I love and/or obsess about!
