A limited amount of space wherein I must define myself? Look, I've been alive for more than 40 years and I still haven't figured me out enough to do this. So, here's a basic list (in no particular order):
1. I am married (now there's something I never thought I'd be able to say). He is the love of my life and my best friend. Yes, I know how lucky I am. I waited a loooong time to find him.
2. I am a mother. To a kindergartner. It's hard, but I am enjoying it more than I ever thought I would. My kid is kind of amazing.
3. I used to be a criminal defense attorney (yes, yes...insert bad joke here...no, really, I LIKE the bad jokes. I'll laugh). Now I teach law in an undergraduate paralegal program and am loving it.
4. I am a writer (good fiction, bad poetry, and a little bit of autobiography in there for good measure). Come visit my writing journal at realiotrulio; I'd love to see you there.
5. I am a serious bookaholic.
6. I am a renaissance woman.
7. I am a hopeful romantic.
8. I prize thougthfulness and kindness - in myself and in others.
9. My philosophy of life is: everything is funny...sometimes not right when it's happening...but, sooner or later, I'm going to laugh about it.
