Welcome to my blog
I’m Dionna and this is my blog. It’s primarily a product of boredom but it’s also my way of trying to stay in touch with people. Oh, and be heard by the whole entire world! I’m not very good at Facebook and can’t ever imagine Twittering? Tweeting? because I believe there should never be limits put on how many words I can use at any given time. So, I created my own blog – with no word limits.
I am married to a pathologist named Fred. It’s not as creepy as it sounds. Well, maybe on the days when he comes home and I start to hand him our baby and he responds with, “Oh – wait, let me go wash my hands and change my clothes real quick. I grossed in a placenta today and may still have some bits of it on me.” Yeah, that’s a little creepy. But, you get used to it.
We currently live in Fort Worth, Texas. We have one child, a baby boy born in February 2009, whom shall forever be referred to in this blog as babyBaum. Not original, I know; however, the Baum part as in BOMB(n): an explosive device fused to detonate under specified conditions could not be a more accurate description of my little bundle of joy.
I’m currently a quasi-SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) who is desperate to go back to the land of the working. I was an attorney not so long ago and hope to get back to it soon. In the meantime, I delicately handle babyBaum so as to avoid detonation and volunteer as a Coordinator for a food pantry which operates through my church, the fabulous Broadway Baptist Church. It fills some of my days and a lot of my heart and soul - unlike babyBaum, who fills up all of my days, including the nights, and all of my heart and soul.
So, welcome to my blog. It remains to be seen whether this will be at all entertaining or interesting. Or how many times I embarrass or tick off Fred for over-sharing. Not that me over-sharing is an issue in our marriage. Because if I confirmed that, then I would clearly be over-sharing.
One last note – though my words will not be limited, yours may be. Comments will be moderated primarily to avoid the posting of spam, inflammatory insults towards other commenters, and unnecessary profanity (though all necessary profanity will be retained).

I’m no stranger! And I’m your first comment!!! I’m sooooo glad you started this. Blogging is a very “mommy” thing to do, you know? How often can we expect updates?
Give babyBaum a big kiss from us and just tell Fred hello (don’t want any of that placenta junk to rub off on me)
LOVELY LOVE MY FAMILY!

Hey, can’t wait to read more! I certainly hope that last part about unnecessary profanity was directed at me.

Hi Leah! My goal is to post something everyday or every other day – we’ll see how that goes. I plan to post some pics of babyBaum soon!
Hi Carrie! Of course, the part about the profanity was directed at you (and our friend Steffie.)
I saw your blog post today – can’t wait to see more posts!
Hi Babs! Thanks for the rec – I will check it out. I miss you!

The world would be so much less interesting if people didn’t overshare. Can’t wait to read yours.

Friend, this website looks fantastic! I love the yellow/green and blue, the numbers that indicate the number of comments–it’s just fantastic. And damn, what a cute baby.

Thanks, Steffie! I have you to thank – I can’t remember how many blog designs I ran past by you, but I appreciate all your input, friend!
