about the author

I started writing online about twelve years ago and nothing bums me out more than saying that. TWELVE YEARS AGO. Holy geeze.

My name is Denise.

I live in Oregon with my husband, Jason, and our hound/dalmatian/pit bull mix, Hurley. My husband and I met online, specifically through blogging. We got married in 2008, fought cancer in 2009, bought a house in 2011, and are trying to maintain some semblance of order and adulthood.
