The first thing you should know about me is that I am severely ADD (I purposefully leave off the H-hyperactive-as I am very very lazy so I feel that the old-fashoined plain-ol ADD suits me better). The second thing you should be aware of is that I choose not to take medication to treat my ADD. I have tried them all and I am not a fan of them. They transform me into a cranky zombie with a raging migraine and sleep deprivation. So, here I am going thru life distracted and silly and 100% totally me. My first priority is, of course, my daughter. Gillian is my very best friend and I love discovering new things about her every day. My relationship with Brian truly is amazing. He came into our lives when Gillian was about 16months old or so and he was a wonderful, dear friend to me while I was going thru my divorce. He also happened to be my BOSS at the time! I like to tease him that now I'M the BOSS! Brian is kind, loving, and attentive. He is everything a man should be and so much more.
My job is very very important to me. I have wanted to be an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant from the moment I nursed Gillian for the first time. I currently work in the local WIC office as a Lactation Specialist. Everyday I work I am a wee bit closer to my goal of IBCLC. I encourage pregnant women to breastfeed and I offer support to those who choose to nurse their babies. Having said that, I am only mildly nazi-ish about the subject. I try to be understanding when mommies wean their babies. I CANNOT, however comprehand women who REFUSE to even try it. I don't see breastfeeding as weird, disgusting or sexual. I think it is unfortunate that society has forced our mothers to feel that way about the most natural of aspect motherhood. I would NEVER say a bad word to a mommy who chooses not to nurse (not to her face anyway!!).

I am celebrity-obsessed and I watch waaayyy too much tv. My nightly news is E!NewsDaily. I can catch up w/ Robin Meade in the mornings on CNN for the other stuff. Michael J. Fox, Christian Bale, Rob Thomas, Sendhil Ramamurthy are the tops of my 'elevator list.' Nathan Fillion is a recent addition to that list of lust. Brian understands that if I am ever stuck in an elevator with any of the guys on that list, that I am to be issued a free pass. Hey, he has Eva Mendez. He is free to add more to his list but he is loyal to his Eva. Loyalty IS important in a man!!
I'm off to work now. Gotta talk about babies and boobies!!
