So I started this blog just to have one place to put info for my switch witch, so I hope s/he finds it useful! I have no idea how much you'll want to know, so just skim over the boring parts

I suppose I will start with some background info about myself (I'll skip the boring parts). I was born in raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I began college studying costume design (theatre), music (flute/vocal), and German. I then studied in Austria at Karl-Franzens Universität in Graz, then later lived in Vienna for another six months before I moved back to Nebraska. After moving back to the States, I realized that I'm not really cut out for a life in the theatre so I changed my major to German and picked up a horticulture minor. I still love theatre and period costuming, though I don't practice much (no sewing machine and no where to put one). Last year about this time I ditched Omaha after some life changes and moved to San Francisco which I sometimes love and sometimes hate. I have to admit that I sometimes feel claustrophobic here! I love the diversity and location, but don't really appreciate all the people EVERYWHERE. My boyfriend and I like to visit the Napa/Sonoma wine country or go hiking on the weekends. I work as a receptionist at a cat clinic here, which is mostly ok. The office manager is currently out after having surgery and everyone (well except the one Dr. I suppose) is happier without her. Aaaand that's the summery.

I have three cats that constantly amuse and challenge us. Liam, Murphy, & Aiofe. (I need to figure out how to post some photos.) And yesterday we painted our bedroom! The color is "Herb tea", basically a fabulous medium yellow-green; I love it!! It really makes this room comfortable. I'd like to paint the rest of this place but we don't plan on living here too much longer (6 months) and I'm not sure it's worth the time and effort.

I'mna post some of the SW questions & answers in a separate post.
