After a sabatical, happy ICLW!

I've been missing from this little get-together (and missing it as well!) for the past few months, I have to apologize, but it's been just a little crazy busy.  I have to add another apology, because right at this moment I don't have time to pound out the posts that have been coalescing in my brain.  So this intro is going to be a bit brief, but I promise that I'll get to them soon.  Until then, please feel free to poke around and look and some of my older posts, or wait and come back in a couple days when I have a proper post, more in line with my style and personality.

For those of you that don't know me, I have been a surrogate and egg donor (thus my original interest in some of your blogs- mostly via the amazing Jaymee and the fantastic Sabrina).  More important to my day-to-day functioning and self definition, I'm a doctoral candidate in Ecology currently crushing my prospectus on invasive plants and their effects on native frogs into being; I'm the mother of a four year old boy that really has no equal- no bias there, just the fact of the matter :-); I'm the wife to a biologist converted to history that is currently working on finishing his master's thesis on gender, revolution, Che Guevara and Robert Williams.  I also own and run a small cloth diaper business, Baby by Nature at www.babybynature.org and am active in my community, Kent, Ohio and loving what I do.  It's a rough life, but someone has to be me.  Ciao!
