So I have your attention for a moment. Cool. Who is this scabbed wings person? Well, here come the labels: proud mother, scientist, divorce-ing, hobbit, mutitasker, life fixer upper, old punk rock kid, uber-dork, quilter, and goody two shoes.

Prod mother: My daughter is the coolest person on the whole damn planet. All parents should think that. My next blog will be entirely about her. She is one year and seven months old. I love watching her learn and smile and just plain be a kid. I hate to sound cliche, but she has as much to teach me as I to her. Her name is Emily Love, quite fitting. She is a lovable, smart, beautful, energetic little girl. I love her.

Scientist: Yup, I have a chemistry degree. I work in the reactive hair care products industry. That means professional use only hair dyes, bleaches, relaxers, perms, and anything else that has to do with change in your hair. I am chemist/assistant manager for the industrial chemisty department of the company. I certify finished goods with analysis and verification. I develop methods for color matching for product development and analyze stability for statistical purposes. Yeah, I participate in research and development in the science and technology department. Six people report to me in the manager's absence like when he is on vacation or not in the room. Customers, production, raw materials, investigation, the nitty gritty. The purpose of me in this company is to bridge the two departments. I report to both, two bosses. Finally, I create and improve processes for manufacturing.

Divorce-ing: I am in the process of a divorce. Here is some personal stuff to the impersonal...Pretty much 80% of the time my marriage was about control and abuse. From who I talked to, to threatening to kidnap my baby while I worked, from restricting my wardrobe, to taking away my car keys, from raising his hands, to preventing me from picking up my child in front of his family. A little strange to hear a smart girl in a situation like this, but all things are possible when you are scared and alone. My marriage ended in a straw breaking that camel's back and I finally called the police. orders of restraint, custody, filing for divorce followed. I don't want one of those "you're such a strong woman for getting out of it" medals because I wasn't. And lamenting does nothing anyway. I am back to myself and new and improved, though. People feel sorry for me and I just don't get it. Victims are enablers and we are guilty too. I am not emotionally destroyed, just mentally prepared and taking care of all the necessary processes as matter fo fact as I am about everything else.

Hobbit: hehe, I am waaayyyy tiny.

Multitasker: I am not happy unless I am doing everything all at once. I like to accomplish and learn everything. At any given time, you can get a whole list of things I am currently running myself around doing. I am pretty ambitious for a tired working mom. And I don't try anything, I just do it.

Life fixer upper: that sounds silly huh? Well, here I go back to my divorce proceding. My exhusband tried his best to sabotoge my life to make me helpless. He didn't work and had no credit. I did. He stayed at home and was in charge of the bills. you would think you can trust your spouse, right? No question that your paychecks are reasonably spent. He hid the mail and left all of my bills unpaid for over a year. I thought my bank account was always empty because of rent and necessities. instead, I was prevented from checking the mail and answering the phone so I couldn't find out from creditors that I was being sued by everyone. And things for other women, equipment for his parents' business, and questionable porn were purchased with my hard earned paychecks. In addition, there were credit cards and accounts opened without me permission using my social security number and name amounting to thousands of unpaid dollars. So after finding this out in November, I have been barely making ends meet to keep up the high interest rates of the collection agencies in order to redeem my credit. I am a pretty damn good accountant.

Old punk rock kid: I look 17 but am much older. One day I will grow out of my attitude and torn up fishnets. who cares when?

Uber-dork: more like geek, I guess. I read scientific periodicals for fun, I like my parents, was the top student of the chemistry department upon graduation, one of my former physics teacher's "top ten students in the last 20 years, I read the dictionary, I drool over comic books and collectables, and I love unconventional learning.

Quilter: self explanitory, I like making quilts like the old lady at heart that I am.

Goody Two Shoes: yup, Adam Ant wrote that about me.

There you have it. Me in a nutshell or blogged to profusion, however you wanna view it."
