Haille tagged me with this blog meme.
I had to google it to understand what a blog meme is. Hey - I’m new at this. Anyway, I’m not sure I like the idea of turning my blog into a magazine quiz, but it did look like one way of telling you a little more about me, without the usual requirement for thought and drafting.
Oh, and I had already added a link to Hallie’s blog in my last post, so this is gonna look like overkill.
Anyway, I’m not going to answer all of the questions in this meme, just the ones I think you might be interested in.

Still trying to make my first marriage work. Gainfully employed (I’m now a freelancer). Living with my kids (now a weekend dad).

7. Five jobs that you’ve had?

8. How did you name your blog?
It seemed to sum up what I wanted to write about – the ideal of relationships, and the reality, as I see it – of trouble in paradise.
“trouble in paradise” it funny, I always say, “just another day in paradise” Love it! welcome to the blogging world!
