Last night as I was getting ready to shut down (my laptop), I clicked over to check FB and my email, just because I’m an old techie obsessed with being wired.

It’s not that I don’t want to blog every day. It’s not that I don’t have some story about food or my family to share.

Hello world!
Leave it to programmers to default a blogger’s first post to “Hello world!” I guess it’s their version of an inside joke, so I’ll keep it. If you don’t get it, don’t worry and savor the bliss of not living your life surrounded by the minutiae of coding logic as I once was, many (professional) lives ago.
Today, I’m an (almost) 50 year old retired-exec-turned-SAH-mom with a tweenie son and a (much) younger husband (he’s the real geek in the family, but cute in a Ryan Philippe way). So you could say I was a cougar, although I don’t come close to a Demi Moore body– hence the blog title. What I really am is a recovering workaholic and in my attempt not to turn into the ultimate Tiger Mom (and on the repeated advice of my BFF– “you’ve got to find something else to do than micromanaging your kid”), I decided to blog.
My trifecta of happiness revolves around Family, Friends and Food. So that’s what I’ll write about on this blog. Hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I’ll enjoy writing!
