About Me

37paddington: Girl, transplanted from the islands to the big city. Woman, married to the love of my life. Adoring mother of two now-grown children. O-political, hopelessly devoted to her quirky, bossy, funny, chaotic, entertaining and often fairly peculiar family. In lieu of journals and photo albums, this blog is meant as a record of sorts. I write here about anything that's on my mind; things I want to remember; things I want to process into oblivion; it's all fairly random.
