I am a Bible-thumping, evangelical, saved-by-Grace, fundamentalist Christian. Which means, yes, I’m one of those right-wingers the media has warned you about!
I am the proud wife of an Officer in the United States Marine Corps. Life as a Marine wife is hard and frustrating - but it has its good sides! Moving every three years is certainly entertaining… and the adventures of mommying on my own give me more blog-fodder.
Speaking of blog-fodder, I am the mother to four boys, the oldest of whom is almost 12. Our middle two sons have Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism. I have severe ADHD myself, which I don’t necessarily consider a disorder - more just an alternate kind of brain.
I am a home-schooler, or at least I’m trying.
I am a very mediocre housekeeper of the clutterbug variety.
Let’s see, what else can I tell you? I have several times the legal limit of hobbies and interests, including: Singing (I’m a soprano), percussion and drums, reading, writing (obviously), cooking, jewelry making and leatherwork! I’m something of a Scrabble shark - so very few people will play with me. I would have trouble facing life without coffee - and I love Starbucks Cafe Verona! I was obese for about 22 years. Then I lost 85 lbs through healthy eating and exercise and have kept it off for over two and a half years now.
I’m always reading something. I usually alternate non-fiction and fiction. And I reread The Lord of the Rings and all of Jane Austen’s works every year.
I have a warped and twisted sense of humor, shaped in my dissipated youth by Monty Python, Bloom County, Doonesbury, the movies Airplane, The Princess Bride, Monty Python and The Holy Grail and various other forms of high culture. What wasn’t distorted by those influences was tweaked by my big brother.
I have my own business selling unique recycled leather cuffs and the occasional piece of jewelry at Tocadora Leather.
Oh, and I speak fluent sarcasm as my second language!
