• Hello!  My name is Ally Bean and this is my personal blog.  I’ve blogged in one place or another, off and on, since 2004.  So there’s that.
• I have lived in the midwest USA almost all of my life.  This probably explains more about me than I care to admit.
• I am married to Zen-Den.  We met in college and have been together ever since.  He majored in Economics and I majored in English Lit.  He is practical.  I am creative.  This works for us.
• I am by nature an introvert.  We are a misunderstood lot.  While it is true that I prefer quietness + solitude, I can be social, engaging, delightful.  Just ask my friends.
• I have a motto.  It is: if something works, stick with it.  The corollary of this motto is: if something doesn’t work, let it go.  N’est–ce pas?
• I have an email address for this blog.  It is: thespectacledbean [at] gmail [dot] com
• And yes, to answer your question, I do wear eyeglasses.  Spectacles, if you will.  Every day.  All day.  Since I was five years old.
