About Me:
Last updated: July 1, 2010

I am Pocklock. This site was created from my tired brain after long, headache inducing hours of forced creativity.

I am a 32 year-old mother, wife, and homeowner that likes commas, Jolly Ranchers, country music, cows, popcorn, guacamole, and Diet Coke. Our daughter Lyla was born in August 2008 and is my true pride and joy. Our second daughter is due in October of 2010.

I’m a marketing specialist, project manager and social media guru by day and a mother and wife at night. I save my ninja excursions for weekends.

I’m fortunate to work out of my house, but because of the nature of my work and the need for multiple daily conference calls and concentration, I choose to send my daughter to daycare four-days a week. She has thrived in this environment and so have I.

I spend most nights on the couch eating popcorn with my Extremely Hot Husband sharing in depth conversations about the shows we’re watching on TV or how many instant messages I’m able to keep open at the same time. We also talk about politics, world issues, entertainment news, and other people. The latter at great length.

My Extremely Hot Husband (a.k.a EHH), in addition to maintaining his extreme hotness, has two, full-time jobs; one pays our mortgage. The other is Putting Up With Me. The second is a volunteer position. However, it does have a full benefit program. With bonus. He likes cnn.com, the New England Patriots, Star Wars, graphic novels, cheeseburgers, and tacos.

EHH is also a phenomenal photographer. He has taken many of the photos I’ve used in my blog headers over the last four years. You can see his work on Flickr, on Smugmug, and become a Fan on Facebook.

We live in suburban, northwest Connecticut with our daughter and two very fat and very spoiled felines. We are those people that treat our animals as children. So far they’ve been pretty indifferent about Lyla joining our family. However, I do believe that one day, there will be wrath. Probably in the form of urine. And probably as a result of a tail-pulling.

I started a blog in March of 2005 during a short stint of unemployment and a long argument with reality. Since then I’ve had 3 different URL’s and 2 hosts. I hope to end that trend now with a site that is totally mine with little restriction and full customization ability. However, I’m totally retarded when it comes to that customization. I need all the help and advice I can get so if you feel like helping me with redesigns or answering my dumb tech questions, please let me know!

I write about the random craziness that is my life. I am a sitcom. You can’t write fiction this good and I can’t make this stuff up. I write about anything from current events to jeans. I will never write anything in detail about my job. I know better.

About this Site:
Pocklock.com is my avenue of creativity. I’ve always wanted to be a writer and even started out as a journalism major in college until a certain professor gave a “pep-talk” to our 101 class that included the statement, “None of you will EVER be writers!”. I changed my major to PR.

I completed my Master’s degree in Integrated Marketing which included a thesis on Interpersonal Communication. I’m still considering sending a copy to that journalism teacher. He needs a lesson on the use of “I” language.
