In perpetuity or something like that….

My thoughts on being a…Geekmom

Filed under: Home Life... and Being a Wifey — Hillary at 1:18 pm on Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Ok, so my hubby is a self-proclaimed Geekdad, although I doubt anyone would really argue with him on this. We were talking via IM today, as usual, and I’ve just realized that I am a Geekmom and a Geekwife. I was the one who came up with the idea of naming our daughter “Ily” after the acronym for “I love you” on IM. Of course this was after arguing that just because some celebrity named their daughter Apple didn’t mean we had to. And of course Paul found out we were preggers via IM.

So here we are the little Geekfamily. Tall Geekdad “Applehat”, with his wife “Mrs. Applehat”, living in our little geekhouse, with our little geekbaby “Baby applehat”. Driving our little geekcars “Flo” and “Six”. Running around town in our Black Buddy Scooter “Jayne” or “V” depending on which geekoccupant you ask. Playing with our big geekdog “Midas”…even our geekcat “Ginko” is a regular on icanhascheezburger.com. *sigh*

So while I don’t watch Nova or read Scientific American to our daughter… I am a geekmom who embraces how different our family is from the norm.
