About Me: i'm a 38 year old mother of two young boys, retired city planner, and closet aspiring writer. this is the place where i go to jot down a few notes at the end of (almost) every day. when i was younger, no one could pronounce my name. "evelyn" often turned into "EL-even" in the mouths of my childhood friends. it was only a matter of time before i completed the morph from ELeven to just plain eleven. i also like the nod to Spinal Tap -- "this amp goes to *eleven*..." :)
