Why this Blog

I'm a self-proclaimed master procrastinator. That is why I created this blog.

Ok, the longer version and good reason is I needed an outlet for my daily life here in the US. More specifically in Suburbia. I won't tell where - just somewhere in the Midwest. People  are very nice and friendly. Very religious which I'm not and a little bit narrow-minded regarding values or life style which I'm not either. There are always exceptions of course. But for an agnostic and rather liberal person (no, I'm not a hippie) it is sometimes very challenging to live in the area of former McCain followers and Against Planned Parenthood fans.

On my do to list is writing my novel and finishing some academic publications.Ok, this is the true reason why I'm writing this blog.
Today I wanted to write on my story but somehow got sidetracked. You know there are dozens excuses.

Since I'm not a native speaker my entries will be full of grammar mistakes. Some are probably rather terrible. But I will do my best and the mistakes will be totally unintentional. However, for once I wanted to write without all the proof reading. So this is indeed an outlet and very liberating. If this annoys you, just stop reading my blog. There are enough others out there.
 You probably wonder were I'm from then ... I'm Swiss. And please don't tell me you have already traveled to the Swiss capital - Stockholm. *hmrph* Switzerland is that little country, imprisoned by the European Union and the capital is Bern. And yes, I love chocolate too ;-)

The topics I will mainly write about are writing, life in Suburbia from the perspective of a Swiss grump and the daily joys of motherhood.
