Karo

Massaging my own ego on a daily basis.

My name is Karo. I am the Ruminating Slav in question -- my parents and I emigrated to America from Poland in 1981. I live in Dallas with my gem of a husband, BK, whom I married in October of 2003 back when we still lived in Washington, DC. In October of 2005 we had a son, Baxter, who is the subject of a separate, baby-poop-focused, family-friendly blog. We own a dog, Buster, and a cat, Joshua Wanat.

I like traveling, getting my eyebrows waxed, and stupidly-overpriced Starbucks coffees. My favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio and my shoe size, 9½, is notoriously difficult to find. I have a degree in English but my nonsensical job title for the job I'm currently doing part-time from home is "Web Specialist." In December of 2004 I had a miscarriage in my work bathroom. I once dated a pathological liar 14 years my senior. I never forget to put the period inside the quotation marks.

I firmly believe everything has a place. I used to play bank with myself when I was little. I am never late.
