Welcome!

Hey reader(s) (anyone??)~
Welcome to my blog! I have decided to start this blog because 1) I love writing, and 2) I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things, and I'm kind of shy about expressing them "irl", so I thought this might be a good forum for me...I plan to write about a variety of things. I'm a Mom, but this isn't going to be a "mommy blog". I will write a lot about adoption, because it's a subject that is near and dear to my heart. I will write about books, movies, religion and politics if I feel the urge. Pretty much any subject weighing on my mind will be fair game. So are you in? Cool! Let's get started, then...

I believe in (and these are in no particular order):
-gun control
-a woman's right to choose
-marriage equality
-war never being the anwser
-affordable, quality child care
-affordable, quality housing
-adoption reform
-a good, hot cuppa coffee (or two) first thing in the morning
-books that are so good, you want them to go on forever
-palm trees and sunny beaches
-my iPad and iPhone
-living wages

Ok, I believe in a lot more stuff, but that's all I got for right now. Really need to go to bed, where my kiddo is already sound asleep. (In my bed. Yep, I never planned it, but somehow my child cosleeps with me. I don't actually mind it, except for the occasional elbow or foot in the face...)
