I&#8217;m geek by accident.
No it&#8217;s true, techy things did not always light my fire and I usually saved anything harder than turning on the computer to my dad.
So to suggest that I&#8217;m geeky or even a &#8220;tech savvy&#8221; mom makes me laugh a little.

Since I started this writing/blogging thing that I&#8217;ve been doing, I struggled with sticking a label on it. Saying I was a blogger resulted in blank stares from people around me.

As I pushed my son’s stroller around the mall we were greeted by an elderly woman who began oohing and aahing over him.  I thought to myself, “how sweet”.

You see, I&#8217;m terrible at being romantic. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love the romantic comedies and the tear-jerking dramas where the guy both gets and loses the girl. I am a sentimental  sap.
