Profile
About Me
Current prosecuting attorney, former public defender, future [down the road] criminal defense attorney. Am the mother of two young, wonderful, kind, brilliant, beautiful daughters, ages 8 and 5. Also, depending on whether one counts dating, living-in, or marital anniversaries, I've been with my husband respectively 22 years, 15 years, or 11 years! My mother's people were Norwegian immigrants who settled in Minnesota and included both a father and son who fought with Sherman in the Civil War, and her father (my Grandpa Ole) who helped start the Farmer Laborite Movement during the Great Depression. My Dad's people were Russian Jews escaping from Czarist-era Russia and anti-Semitic pogroms there.

Activities:

Hiking, camping, reading, listening to music, going to movies, playing with my kids, political activism and blogging

  • I am leaving SH today. I am not sure if I want them to delete my account or how I am going to go about it. I should have the answer to that after much needed prayer, and I will notify all at that time. But this site has served it's purpose in my life. I wish all of you the best.

  • I'm sure the hot dude sandwich would be fine with Hillary, but I'm not sure our President would be so comfy. LOL, I wouldn't take him down either! All in all, very cool profile.
