Hello World, it's me Mrs. Swan

Ok, so I have posted a link to this blog on facebook...Mr. Cob convinced me. So I realize blogs are very self indulgent and presumptuous in thinking that anyone out there gives a hoot about my life, but I'm ok with that. I love writing and keep saying I want to be more creative - so if this blog is a way for me to fuel my creative side and get those juices flowing, so be it.

Now that you have found me, I figure its time to introduce you to me and my family. I am Mrs. Swan (aka Mrs. Pen). I'm an associate attorney at a great firm in Atlanta and am married to a wonderful man who is also an attorney - we met in law school. We have one pet - Bailey Ann. She's the sweetest evil cat around...she's not a big fan of people she does not know, but she loves me and Mr. Cob (although she has been known to turn on Mr. Cob when he moves too quickly). She plays fetch just like a dog with twist ties - it's hilarious. Bailey had a pretty hard life before I adopted her - she was only about 4 weeks old when I found her hiding inside the wheel well of my friend C's Explorer. There's no telling how long she was stuck in there, and she didn't immediately feel the love for her new mom, but she eventually came around. Although, I fear she'll question our love for her when we bring her a brother or sister soon in the form of a puppy! I'm sure there will be many stories that are entitled "Bailey slashes the pup" or "Puppy thinks she and Bai are friends...but she would be wrong". But for now its just the three of us - we're a small, but very happy family.

Here is Mr. Cob's thoughts on our cat:

Bailey Ann, Cat

Cute, but Dangerous

Much like the Sirens of ancient Greece, this little lion will lure you in with gentle and somewhat lyrical purring. But do not be entranced and fooled by her cuteness, for she is at heart a very tiny killer who could very well leave your outstretched hand with painful, albeit superficial, scratches.

  1. I like your cozy nest. It suits your personalities. The kitchen is a wonderful place to try new and exciting entrees. Bailey Ann seems to be fitting in purrfectly.
