about me
I'm such a complicated, woman-of-the-world, it's hard to sum myself up. I think this was best done last night by my first friend here as 'Intellectual Party Animal'. I'm so flattered anyone would call me an intellectual that I'm going with that one. The best thing I ever did was have my 2 kids. Really. The world will eventually know this as they grow and make their marks. If I knew I could make such outstanding people with so little effort on my part, I would have had a few more, just as my small contribution to making the world a better place.
I have 2 cats, also. They help a bit with my anticipation of Empty Nest Syndrome.
I have a sort of crush on Oscar Wilde. I get disproportionately excited about being in book stores or Libraries. I collect cookie cutters, but never use them. I don't understand these attractions, I just enjoy them.
I have a slightly self destructive personality, but unlike some of my family members, I've always nipped it before it nipped me.
I'm outgoing and can talk to anyone. With a few drinks I'm willing to dance like no one's looking. I can't sing, but I have a musical ear. One day I want to imbibe enough Irish courage to try karaoke....or maybe I already have. I can almost always find a humorous side, and I enjoy laughing.
BTW, never find a humorous side at a karaoke bar. Trust me, they have no sense of humor. (and, often, not my shell-like musical ear, either)
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr. Seuss
You're gonna burn, Burn, BURN!

Three weeks till we leave. I'm excited and starting to feel that last minute anxiety of 'what did I forget to do?'
Once again I find myself to be one of the fortunate ones, with nothing life altering to burn, and no one to mourn and commemorate ...

Padaling Ass
(blog entry)
I finally went out and got one of our umpteen bikes cleaned and oiled. I always enjoy riding on the playa, and just that little bit of pedaling around for a week makes my thighs look nice. "So why not take that little joy home with you?" I ask m...

My husband gave me a new faucet in the yard for our anniversary. I love it. I'm going to go get a new hose for it today.
WWF ain't got nuthin on me
(blog entry)
I've just successfully wrestled my computer into submission again and put up 3 new pics in my profile. I'm just gonna take a quick shower now, get some of this mud off. Feel free to look around, help yourself to a drink, I'll be right out.
God, I'm Good!

I've got to pat myself on the back. I think I've eradicated all but one vice in my life. (the afore mentioned KFC benders) And still I manage to have some fun. I seem to be doing a bit of a dance when it comes to being a better person, two step...

Three weeks till we leave. I'm excited and starting to feel that last minute anxiety of 'what did I forget to do?'
Once again I find myself to be one of the fortunate ones, with nothing life altering to burn, and no one to mourn and commemorate at the Temple. My gratitude for this is humbling.
For my friends who aren't as fortunate as me, my heart and prayers,wishes and tears will instead be wished for and shed for you and yours.
If this offers any hope to you, and I hope it does, everyt...

"So why not take that little joy home with you?" I ask myself. "Summer's here and you want to wear shorts without scaring the old man, so go ride your bike. What a good idea!"
Except...I live in the hills.
Kee-Ryst! but my behind is hard to pedal uphill. My shoulders hurt from pulling down on th...

I've got to pat myself on the back. I think I've eradicated all but one vice in my life. (the afore mentioned KFC benders) And still I manage to have some fun. I seem to be doing a bit of a dance when it comes to being a better person, two steps forward--one step back. But still, there is progress and I want to acknowledge it. I'm the type of person who likes to lie in bed remembering whatever it is I said or did during the day and with each replaying of it, it becomes a little stupider,...
