About

I set out to be Anais Nin and turned into Mrs Dalloway.  I yearn to be a multimedia goddess, but I am a suburb-dwelling federal wage slave with three kids.

The oldest child announced when he was five that he wanted to be a dinosaur when he grew up, hence the name of the blog.  The kids are Podrostok (The Adolescent, age 14), aka Skinny Dino, Huey Dino, and BoyMan; Tweenbot (age 12), aka Juice Box, Juicy Dino or Riley Dino; and Mouse (age nine).

I have a Russian husband (Dino Spouse) of 15 years and a recently estranged mother-in-law (Baba or Babushka) who lived with us for 13 years. Nothing I say here represents their views, at least not fairly or accurately.

I will gladly accept money to promote products and services on my blog, but I’m usually doing it on a personal whim. I also take freelance writing jobs here and there. See the Disclaimers for more details.
