about me
Currently working on raising two beautiful, scary smart children to be happy, healthy, open-minded individuals of life, keeping a happy, healthy husband happy and healthy and fixing up my childhood home.

Tattoo the pristine flesh. What is permanent anyway? This ink only lasts 'til the grave, Skin and ideas decompose. That which we did compose.

Ink to paper is thoughtful
Ink to flesh, hard-core.

Just had to vent yet another story on how much the insurance in this country can blow (mild word, yes but brain is too stunned to think of anything more substantial at the moment). Draco started a new job two weeks ago and we knew that most likely...

Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

Grandpa has decided to skip the formalities and begin radiation now (as in a week from Monday). Here's crossing fingers that everything goes as they plan and I'm very, very proud of him for being proactive no matter how slow moving they say this form is. We kicked ass in painting the living room and hallway this weekend (thank you Jfkar for devoting your ENTIRE Saturday to the project). I think the aforementioned grandpa used freaking gorilla glue to stick on the wallpaper border some 15 year...

Just had to vent yet another story on how much the insurance in this country can blow (mild word, yes but brain is too stunned to think of anything more substantial at the moment). Draco started a new job two weeks ago and we knew that most likely we'd have to pay for COBRA insurance so that there aren't any nasty pre-existing conditions being thrown around. Thanks be to God that we only have to wait 30 days for the new insurance rather than the standard 90 because we just got the letter...th...

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.
The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

You are the perfect balance of wild, crazy, spontaneous, home body, mama, wife, lover, friend, sister, dancing queen, nipple tweaker, shoulder to lean on, shoulder to cry on and so many other things.
You are so many things to me. And I love you. And I love watching you transform into all these things over the years, and i look forward to more.

there is not enough words in the wold to describe you my love. This is the one woman in the world that I can truly say has my heart. in so many ways you have been there for me, at my best, worst and all the places in between. you have saved my life more times than you know and for that I am eternally grateful. You carried our son for 9 months and you took such care to make sure that you did everything in your power to ensure his health and safety, thank you. right now you are asleep between Gabe and Maev and we have spent the night with a wonderful group of people that let you express yourself with fire. When you dance with the fire I see a light in your soul that comes out shining with everything you have you were born to dance and you do it so well. You make me soul dance with joy every time I see you and my heart flutters when we kiss.
You have made me see so much more than I thought I would ever see about life, love and where the pursuit of happiness can lead you, and that pursuit lead me right to you and your loving arms and heart. It lead me to you and in so doing lead to our son. you have given me the ultimate happiness that these words I hope in time can give you some idea of. A happiness not tainted by others opinions and thoughts. A happiness beyond all else.
I love you with all my heart soul mind body and spirit. I am yours for all time

She is so hot!
December 20, 2005
She is the the kindest, most loving, generous, beautiful, woman. I've had the pleasure of having this woman as my sister in law for 2 1/2 years now. She has seen me at my best, and at the so very low, but not once has judged me, she only held my hand and was there for me. Which is everything I need. I am so thankful to have you as a part of my life and a part of my family. You always bring smiles to my face. I love you so very much.
