One more attempt:). For some reason this post didn’t get published three times! I think, I’ve messed up with scheduling somehow. Still, since I will be posting more about my cookies, let me first make sure that my first Cookie Day got published, a week later.

I thought that I’ve at least updated my friends about my life, but I was wrong:). In a couple of words: Friday afternoon I took a half day off work and took my Mom to the concert, then to see the Marshal Fields windows decorated for Christmas, and then to Christkindle Market.
Saturdays was holiday shopping, mostly packaging, cookie-baking supplies, decorating the house and some baking.
Sunday was a Christmas tree buying and installing, tons of cookies, tree decorating, more cookies, cookies packaging…
My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996.
I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future.
I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life.
As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
