I have had baby fever like a motherfucker this last year. It has been non-stop. I have had this desire to have a baby stronger than I ever have before, stronger than I did when I was married. Part of me wonders if I am subconsciously trying to hurry and do this because I don't have much time before I am incapable of reproducing.
You know how you notice a specific car make when you are about to buy one or just did? It's like that. Seriously. I notice every baby and child around me, it's like radar goes off and I immediately ooh and aah. It's almost past the point of control and my poor boyfriend sure is hearing it.
Baby stores? Forget about it. I know better than to go in. I'll just walk out bummed. And then I'll see all my friends' babies on Facebook and wish and wish and wish.
I have always wanted to have kids. Always. One big reason is because I know I'd have some awesome children and the also because I think I'll be a kick ass mom.
And maybe it's a good idea to not use the word motherfucker in a blog about children. I think it's time to work on my potty mouth.

I like orange.
So I'm back. I abandoned this blog and although no one noticed and no one reads, I feel like I should introduce myself again.
I'm Alie.
I'm 26 and very easily amused. I live with my boyfriend and our dog, Bucko. Bucko is special.
I love to laugh. I talk about laughter a lot. It's one of the best things in the world, next to cuddling. The only thing better than laughing is laughing with someone else.
I'm insanely sentimental.
I have one sibling, a sister that is 4 years younger than me. She is just as crazy as I am and we have a lot of fun when we're together.
Impulsive is my middle name.
I am obsessed with music. I am fortunate to have a music loving father that introduced me to my favorite bands and goes to more indie concerts than I do. If I am not listening to music I am singing in my head. I have been in one band and want to eventually sing in another.
My Dad is my hero. I am exactly like him in many different ways.
I'm terrified of horses, heights and airplanes.
I smoked a pack and a half of cigarettes a day, for 13 years. I quit November 9, 2008. It's one of my biggest accomplishments and was one of the largest hurdles I ever had to get over.
I have had two surgeries and a divorce in the last year and I would rather double the surgeries than go through something as horrible as divorce again. I never realized how physically and emotionally draining it is. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. It doesn't matter if you're not in love, broke up a long time ago or have moved on. The situation still weighs heavy on the soul and it is far from easy. Every day I try to figure out a new way to live my life productively and positively. I'm not sure I'll ever get married again. I don't feel I need to be married to commit to someone. I don't know if it's as important as I once thought it was. Part of me hopes I'm proved wrong.
I love to love and I am loyal.
I spend a lot of time in my kitchen, on my iMac. I am obsessed with photography and I spend a lot of time either looking at or editing photos on my computer.
My favorite animal is the sloth. No one ever gives them a hard time about being slow and lazy.
I love adventures and sushi. I am currently a big fan of the color orange, but that could change tomorrow.
My favorite movies are Step Brothers and Amelie. My favorite singer is Elvis Costello.
I love anything miniature. Miniature pencils, Tabasco, horses... everything.
I take multi-vitamins every day.
So there's a few things. I'll add things as I remember them, as I am a pretty random person and have a new obsession ever week.
Inappropriate, even for me.
When I started my current job, I thought having an old 65+ year old hippy of a boss was cool. Doing accounting in a boat yard is fun most of the time. There are old sailors with unbelievable stories and foul mouths. One customer has a parrot on his shoulder every time I see him and makes comments about kidnapping me and sailing away.
I have a pretty good sense of humor, you have to in a place like this. My favorite thing in the world is laughter. I'm not easily offended and usually I don't mind being the butt of a joke. The thing about my job was that even though we joked amongst ourselves about sex and booze, we were still professional... or so I thought.
Some personal rules:

Some personal rules:
- It is not OK to show me your bra by lifting up your shirt or flash me your underwear in the office, although you think wearing a skirt entitles you to do that.
- Saying "Move your big fat ass" does not make me want to move and is therefore an ineffective way of communicating of your need to get past me.
- I don't want to hear stories about your one night stands in Washington DC 40 years ago. Sorry.
Back to work.
