My name is Mary. I’m a native Californian who now lives in small-town Oklahoma, but tries to flee home as often as possible (usually for six weeks every summer and at odd other times). I’m married to Robert, an attorney whom I met online in 1996 (prior to dating sites, thank you very much). I stay home from with our three kids but my aim is to begin at university this coming fall (2011), with the goal of getting an archaeology degree. I graduated high school in 1992 but have never been to college, so please don’t use any big words.
Our children are:
- Madalyn Elizabeth, born 10/28/2000
- John-Zachary Harrison, born 6/23/2003
- Eliza Claire, born 3/27/2007
If you read the above list and thought, “Madalyn should’ve been born on the 20th,” I love you. A lot.
I am a certifiably insane Beatlemaniac of the first order. See child #2′s name up there? That’s “John” and “Harrison” as in “Lennon” and “George.” Every year I travel to Louisville, KY to the world’s largest Beatles festival, Abbey Road on the River and I try to partake of other Beatles-themed events in the meantime. The lads crop up pretty regularly on this blog. I used to have a separate Beatles blog before I moved to WordPress; when I moved all of those posts were imported here and still exist. They can be located via the categories at the bottom of the page.
Here’s a rather extensive meme I did that can tell you more about me, if you’re interested.
In closing, some other things I like, in no particular order: Animals. Reading. History. Museums. Having my kids home with me. New York City. Shopping. Eating out. Going to the movies. Traveling. Doing things by myself (including any of the previous four items). My mom. Christmas. The Melting Pot. Coca Cola. Conversion vans (other than The Van From Hell). The California coast. Mystery Science Theater 3000. Gymboree. Potato knishes. My iPhone. Autumn. The Sun Kings. Pina Coladas. Getting caught in the rain. Not into yoga, though.
