Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.

On a fundamental level - I know so many women in their 30s who didn't get married, or they did and it didn't work out, or they didn't have children because they were trying to get their careers going, or because they were expected to be independent, plus have a family. They didn't feel secure enough.

I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.

I think that life force is invaluable.

~You know how parents rattle on to you about, 'Oh, you won't believe your life will never be the same,' and you think, Why can't these people just get over it? All they're doing is yakking about their kids. It's such a bore. And then you have kids and you just want to do the same thing.~

I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don't have one.

Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal.
