Greetings from Tennessee! I'm Kathleen, from Baggage... and Blathering, and Juliette's doing me a favor by allowing me to fill in for her. I'm a 39-year-old single mom who gets to raise the most brilliant and adorable seven-year-old son ever (but no, I'm not biased; not at all). In an interesting twist of fate, I, like Ith, seem to have contracted a stomach bug that has me feeling queasy and looking green. I suspect a vast left-wing conspiracy is to blame, but that could just be the lack of sleep talking.
At any rate, you can expect me to fill your heads with mindless drivel about my daily life - unless something in the news gets my blood to boiling, in which case my New Jersey roots will show themselves in a rant that'll make you forget that I'm now a genteel Southern Belle (and if you believe that I bear even the slightest resemblance to a Southern Belle, then I've got a bridge for sale).
Thanks for the keys, Juliette; I hope to do you proud. :-)
