Oh dear me. I just took down a four-year-old About Me page and don't quite know how to replace it. How about an update? <br>

Um...I'm having a baby in December with my <I>boyfriend</i> (scandal!) and we're hoping it's cute enough that our two cats, Eve and Linus, don't mistake it for vermin and hunt it at night.<br>

Since my last About page was written, I have tasted, swooned over, had my way with, and proposed marriage to sushi of all kinds.<br>

I sometimes wear blue contacts over my blue eyes, but my hair is still au naturale. <br>

I'm still a book editor, I still make plenty of my own typos when not on the job, and I still don't care if there are typos in your blog posts or comments or emails, so you can stop being self-conscious about it now already. It's <I>just a blog</i>.<br>

But it's not just a blog. I've been doing this since 2003 and among the other benefits of regularly exercising my writing muscles, I have met many wonderful friends through this site. Are you one of them?<br>

I've also been fortunate to get some paid gigs through this website. My product reviews can be seen<a href="http://www.agirlandaboy.com/journal/reviews.html" target="new">here</a>, and my Wednesday column at Work It, Mom, can be found <a href="http://www.agirlandaboy.com/journal/reviews.html" target="new">here</a>. 

I like champagne. I hate it when people open mail that is not address to them. I grew up in Utah and <I>grew up</i> in California. I stick to classic literature and crappy t.v., and please don't expect me to pick up the phone when you call because I never do. I'm really good with email, though: leah [at] agirlandaboy.com.
