Chicken the Pig

A few brief answers about me.

• Chickenpig comes from my maiden name ( Peck ham). It was a nickname given to me in college by some of my closest friends, when the internet wasn't even a twinkling in Al Gore's eye. But, we did have bulletin boards, mostly inhabited by college kids, and open chat rooms, and Chickenpig became my identity. It has been ever since. I was occasionally called 'the Oinkclucker' .
• I am 40 years old. I'll be 41 the day after my beta for my 7th IVF, 4th frozen cycle.
• I am an art historian and worked as a museum professional. Because of the difficulty of finding any job that pays in my chosen profession I have made eyewear, worked in a daycare, and passed my black jack dealer's audition at one of our local Indian casinos.
  
• My husband is a mechanical engineer. It is his job making giant machines of death for the navy that has paid for the conception of our children. Like being in the military, because his company and the military work hand in hand, he is often sent on long term work assignments, the longest for over a year. He is 41 years of age, and has wonky sperm.
  
• No, twins do not run in my family ;)
  
• I have 3 children, twin boys who are 5 and a daughter that just turned three. One of our sons has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism.
  
• We all live in CT, our house was built circa 1810 on the town green. The neighborhood is on the national register of historic places. Before I ever dreamed of being married, or having children, I dreamed of this house.
  
• I can weave, hook rugs, sew a gown by hand, cook over an open fire, set type by hand, and operate a printing press all while telling tourists where the bathroom is.
