Welcome!!

This is my very first post on my blog, so forgive me if I'm a little disjointed.  But let me give you a little background information on myself.  I'm a SAHM with two kids, Little Man and Little Miss.  The Big Man, aka The Husband, is an ex Investment Banker/Hedge Funder/Private Equity man.  We hail from NY (where I was born and spent a good majority of my life) and moved out to LA almost two years ago.  It's been a slow and painful adjustment for me.  And when I mean slow, let's just say I'm still missing NY at least 50 times a day.  And when I say painful, imagine giving up all that is good and thrilling in life and being left with a desert of nothingness stretching out as far as the eye can see.  Maybe it's slight hyperbole, but this is my blog and that's how I feel most of the time.

Anyway, I have noticed since moving out here that everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is just a little off.  There's no wit here, no clever repartee between people.  Just a lot of smiling and nodding in agreement all the time.  How I miss snark, the biting humor you throw out amongst your friends.  The way one word, or look, can elicit a reaction of agreement or laughter among your kind.  So to make up for the lack of snark in my life I wanted to share my snarkiness here.  Sure it's anonymous, but I don't want the Stepford Wives I have to deal with every day to know that I'm mentally rolling my eyes at them whenever I see their vacuous eyes and hear their inane chatter.  Plus, I've discovered there are quite a few ignorant people here. For a relatively upper middle class neighborhood there seem to be a lot of people who didn't bother to pay much attention in high school, let alone give the impression they went on to college.  But that's a whole other post.

If you made it this far, than I'm hoping you will at least find what I have to say somewhat amusing.  At least it will kill a couple of minutes out of your day while you're waiting for your kid's (insert sport or activity here) practice to end.  Or you're killing time pretending to do work so you can leave the office at a respectable time.  Trust me, I've worked in finance for over 12 years before having kids and I know no one leaves the office before 6-7 pm unless you have a client meeting or your water broke.  Either way, welcome to my little bizarre corner of life.
