Meet me

In my professional life, I'm a manager in a large technology company. I joined up long ago, when men still dominated the field. (Who am I kidding? Men still dominate the field). In this capacity, I've had years of daily exposure to the male psyche.

In my "real" life, I have a tween daughter who is the Queen of Charisma (according to a quiz she took in a book last week). I took the quiz and ended up in the boring middle. It said I needed to take more chances and go beyond my comfort zone to get the most out of life.

In this life I don't get the most out of, I also spend way too much time acting as the side-kick for my husband's home construction and repair projects.

In my imaginary life (the one inside my head), I'm a world-renouned chef with my own line of cookware and at least two shows on the Food Network. Or, I'm a best-selling author with a cult-like following and I do most of my writing on the beach in Hawaii. Either works.

In this forum, I hope to share my experiences and observations. I hope to make you laugh and sometimes think and maybe even make you hungry.
