Traditional sucky first post

After much arm-twisting, threats and other such nonsense, I decided I would start my own blog. Being not as creative as some other bloggers I know, I’ll have to really work at it but I assume Harvey is right and I will soon find my blog voice!

Onto About Me: You can see a picture of me here, only now I have RED hair (commence drooling now). Corsets are magnificent things, as long as you don’t need to take deep breaths. (Cease drooling now). I am the wife of Contagion of Miasmatic Review and the Mother of two wonderful boys, Boopie, my eldest at 12 and Clone who is nearly 3.

My husband and I are Historical Re-enactors who participate in several events a year, for a full schedule please see our website at www.spoonandblade.com, there is an event schedule that is due to be updated for the 2006 season as well as some other interesting links like Nessa’s Dutch Oven and of course everyone’s favorite The Mortar Maidens.

I grew up in Kansas (a cracker if you will) and moved to Illinois approximately 11 years ago. It was a difficult transition because it gets REALLY COLD up here but I’ve acclimated well, or rather, better than I expected. I met my husband in 1997 and we were married in 1999, 6 ½ years, like 6 ½ minutes, in a burning stairwell! Ahhh but you see, he’s a cheese head and I’m a cracker, and they go together so well!!

My Blog Momma is Tammi of Tammi’s World, the most accepting, loving and understanding woman on the face of the earth and I am proud that she is my Mom! Couldn’t have done this without her belief in me! Oh, and lets not forget my wonderful and selfless husband how helped me out with the HTML… no, I don’t know it very well, but when I screw it up, he’s ready and willing to correct it for me!

Welp, here I go Blogosphere! Watch out! I might hurt something…
