The "in great detail" meme, day 01

Found out about this from hobbitbabe and it's just my speed. Because, um, I'm self-involved. Yeah, that's it.

( In great detail... Questions are below the cut, one a day for 30 days -- I would LOVE to see your answers, as well. I'm going to tag them all 'IGD'. )

Day 01 - Introduction

My name is Serene Vannoy (or if you're part of my family of origin or the IRS, Sandra). I am a happy, middle-aged, polyamorous woman. I love my day job at the local university, but I love and fiercely guard my at-home time, as well. My family is large and loving, and my latest project (The Mom Food Project) celebrates the act of feeding the people we love, which may be the one defining thread of my entire life.

Right at this moment, I have begun my first moment of real solitude in I don't know how long. The kid and stonebender are at Art & Soul watching Cake and missing MC Hammer (sadly -- the kid loves him). someotherguy and sogwife just left for a TMBG concert in Napa. And I? I am alone. Really alone, all by myself.

Bliss.

I may even stop typing and just sit and listen to the quiet for a little while.

I am not making this up. I posted the solitude post at 6:05. Three minutes ago.

It's 6:08. The kid just called to say they're done and she's on her way home.

It takes her about 10 minutes to get home from downtown Oakland.

Ten minutes of solitude. Maybe fifteen.

I'll take it. :-)
