About

What?  You’re curious about me?  ME?  Really?

There’s not much to say.

  1. I’m a pale, green-eyed, curly-haired brunette.
  2. A girl (in case you didn’t notice).
  3. A wife.  A mommy  A Christian.  A friend.
  4. I consider myself to be crafty.  Disorganized yet Organized.  Creative.  Witty.
  5. I know I’m pessimistic.  Sarcastic.  Petulant.  Vain.  Self-doubting.  But, I’m also Loyal.
  6. I’m a wanna-be knitter, a shower singer, a mediocre pianist, a reader of British Detective Fiction, and a writer of bad poetry.
  7. I’m a symmetry FREAK and a lover of antiques, architecture, and apple-betty.

Oh, that didn’t satisfy your need to know?  Here’s the expanded version:

Why, “Hello,” and welcome to Following In My Shoes!  My name is Rachel and I’ve have been an official blogger since 2005 — just a few short months after I married and entered the kingdom I like to call “Wifedom.”

Since becoming a grownup girl, I’ve worn a variety of professional hats: Residence Life Director for a state university, Marketing Coordinator, Personal Assistant, and (most recently) high-school English Teacher.  Teaching is where I found my true calling, but I gave it up to stay at home with my beautiful little girl (and, as of August 2009, her baby brother).  Most days, I love my new profession, but there are some days when dealing with hormonal, crazy, attention-deficit, love-struck 9th graders would be sooooooooo much easier.

When I quit teaching, Following In My Shoes became my connection with the outside world, allowing me the ability to write, think, read, laugh, and connect with other grown-up girls and boys.

Grown-up girl?  Yeah, I haven’t quite resigned myself to being a woman . . . not yet.

Still want to know more?  Oh, I’ve got options for ya, baby.

And, finally, the two three people I discuss the MOST at Following In My Shoes:

(The Little Lady and Mr. Boy)


(and, the New One)
