About Me

My photo
semidetachedbrit
I live with my husband, son, two daughters, a dog, and a cat in a nice house in a nice neighbourhood in New England. It's hard to define exactly who I am. Sometimes I'm a leader but usually I'm a follower. I like to be different but I'm not a trendsetter. I want to be liked. I admire people who are witty, clever, intelligent, creative, resourceful, efficient, kind, diplomatic, articulate, fair and thoughtful. I try to be all those things. This blog is me. I don't name names (to protect the innocent) and I don't always share the things that affect me the most but I am honest and what I write is the truth.
