Hi, I’m Red. Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings on your company’s dime. I’m in my late 30s, live outside Boston, and work in school administration in order to expedite the corruption of tomorrow’s leaders.
Speaking of, why are principals in pop culture always such useless, aggressive jackasses? Even in crappy Lifetime movies where someone’s daughter gets murdered in the locker room or something, they’re all, “What do you want me to tell you, Mrs. Henderson? Kids will be kids!”
Aside from kid wrangling and supporting locker room murders, I like reading books, writing things, taking pictures, jogging very slowly, watching baseball, dancing in my kitchen, 80s soft rock, and extreme weather, the kind where they come on TV and tell you not to leave the house. I like going places with my family and friends where the people are nice, the food is spicy, and the Sox are on.
I started this blog ten (!) years ago, and have gone from writing in it daily to abandoning it altogether. I guess I’m getting back to my roots. Years later, some things have changed (I buy more expensive wine) and some things haven’t (I still put sparkling water in it).
So welcome, or welcome back. I’m happy to be here, and happy you are too.

I just wanted to say that your writing is some of the funniest I’ve read online. Kudos.
Aw. Thank you!
Hi there, I didn’t know where else to leave this comment (can’t find an email address), so please feel free to delete!
You’re invited to a virtual baby shower for Nancy Pearl Wannabe, also known as NPW, also known as Shelley! Her baby boy is due in just 10 weeks! If you would like to participate, feel free to visit the secret book registry that we set up and send some books to our favorite librarian! Note that we set up this registry without her knowledge, so there is a risk that she might already have some of these books, but we are willing to take that risk! 🙂

If you don’t see a book that you want to send, just add it to your cart from Amazon along with at least 1 item from the registry, and you can send the whole lot to the registry address. Add a gift message that this is part of the Ladies’ Internet virtual baby shower!
Love, @FeistyHarriet, and @DefinitelyRA
