Like I Need Another Hole in My Head

Blog #3.

As if I don't already have enough on my plate. But the decision to create a new blog was made to separate out my business blog from my political rants...I mean thoughts. =) I also have a blog called Home Zookeeper where I chat randomly about animals...mostly my dogs.

A little about me just to have it on the record.

I grew up with liberal and Democrat leanings. I voted for Bill Clinton and Al Gore.

I met my (now) husband who horrified me by voting for Bush in 2000. I began working in the private sector in 2000 and my boss was also horrifyingly conservative. Many interesting conversations (arguments?) ensued.

Then 9/11 hit and all the ideas that had been soaking into my brain from the conservatives now surrounding me fell into place. I had been denying my conservatism.

I think a lot of people deny that they are conservative even when their ideas fall more in line with conservative thought. My mom is one.

Hubby and I have four dogs...Kodiak, Quinn, Trooper Bear, and Timber Wolf. I love dogs! And cats. But mostly dogs.

I plan to use this blog randomly for political and cultural thoughts and rants. Sometimes I get pissed. I plan to actually let myself cuss here. I don't normally cuss in real life and I don't think I've ever cursed on my other two blogs.

I work full time in the investment world but I also design and sell jewelry. I think it keeps me sane and it's cheaper to buy supplies than pay for therapy.

I'm Bipolar and I'm sure I'll talk about that as well.
