About Me

CURRENT SWAPS - I had a rough end to November and I'm working on getting all my swaps out, but its hard to play catch up, so I ask your patience with me!

I am a very strange and rather geeky person. I love laughter and conversation above all else. I would love to spend my time reading, gaming and then more reading. I tend to live in a world of fantasy that may or may not coincide with what I feel the real one is. Despite whatever problems or complications arise, I continue to love my life.

On a more practical note I am a Presbyterian minister married to an atheist and living next to a beach. We have dogs, not kids and are very happy with that fact. None of these things were what I expected, but I'm pretty happy with how it worked out.

what I pledged

Favorite Authors

I read enough that picking favorite books is impossible. Basically good fantasy or humor is bound to get my attention.

Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Terry Prachett, Anne Lammott, Kelly Armstrong, Emma Bull, Christopher Moore, Carl Hiaasen

Favorite Crafts

altered books, sewing, baking, jewelery making, painting, and most recently soap making.

Pets

Dylan Dylan: My beloved "Dr. Seuss" dog. He's part dachshund and part fox we think.

Conall Conall: My husband's Siberian Husky puppy. He's 10 months and 65+ pounds. Looks just like a wolf and is a shameless beggar of attention.

Luna: My five year old English Spot. (That's a rabbit to those who aren't lapin-inclined.) She thinks she's a princess and I was put on earth to serve her.

Gizmo: I got him this spring when Luna's old bunny bond died. He's very handsome and loves to steal food and hop around in circles with it while Luna chases him. At the end of the day though, you can always find the two of them cuddling together.

Comment: Thank you for such a wonderful package. It was truly put together with love ( like I said a million hearts for the apron). I laughed through your whole journal. You sound just like me, but sadly I do not have your way with words. I have a husband who is 5' 7'' and weighs 135. He went up to 140 and went on a diet, It took him 2 days. I live in a slimquick commerical. Thank you again for the package. I wish you the best with your goal.
Response: Aren't Husbands frustrating?! I'm so glad you liked the package and the journal. I had a lot of fun putting it together (even if I didn't always have fun with the dieting!)

Comment: thank you so much for the deck, it is beautiful, the deck i had been using just wasnt appealing and this one is really lovely, i think i will get much more enjoyment and use out of it. thank you so much for trading with me.
Response: Yay! I'm glad the deck got a good home. I've been ignoring it for far too long. I ended up with a deck that fit me better, and it just wasn't getting used. Thank you so much for such a fun swap!
