I've been married to "Magnum" since 1990. We met in college while we were both studying mechanical engineering. Our university was known for partying, but we actually met at the "party" known as thermodynamics class.
I was a happily nerdly engineer for about 10 years before retiring to be a stay-at-home mom. I've been a tutor for high school and college students for several years, and active in P.E.O. I currently work at a state college as a math tutor and professional people watcher (exam proctor).
We have three sons. "Chaco"'s the oldest, "Wolfgang"'s next, and "Meego"'s the youngest. The nest is empty.
Napolion is our cat and alpha pet, whom we acquired after he got kicked out of his first home for beating up his brother on a daily basis. He's a mighty hunter/fighter turned pampered housecat.
Our dog, Penny, is a shelter Jack Russell mixed with something. Hobbies include begging for people food and sparring with the cat.
Merlin is our shelter Australian German Shepherd who loves his people and food and thinks it's his job to securely guard those things.
This blog is of no particular theme. I named it AbbyNormal because I live in typical white collar suburbia, but don't feel I fit the stereotype of typical white collar suburban "housewife".
At least, I certainly try not to.
Welcome!
