About Me

I am 47 and live in Western Washington state. I live with my 5 cats and my husband. We have an 18 year old Kali, a 13 year old Jasper, a 12 year old Onyx and two 8 year olds Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony. They are all completely spoiled, but they are our babies.

I like fairies, not just the pretty ones but also gnomes and trolls. Spiders and spider webs as well are super cool!

I am Wiccan so please do not send me any overtly Christian items.

I do not have any allergies that I am aware of.

I have never been very good about what to say in these types of things. I am sure that I will add more over time.

Favorite Music

I like almost any type of music... Pink, Johnny Cash, Pat Benatar, Rush, REM all of it.... New, old, it really doesn't matter. One type I don't care for too much is Rap, but that is about it for dislikes.

Favorite Books

The first SciFi book I remember reading was called This Perfect Day and I think I was 12. SciFi/Fantasy are some of my favorites. Mariam Zimmer Bradly is one of my favorite authors although I also enjoy Dean Koontz and other suspense writers. Westerns and Romance novels not so much.

Favorite Television

Star Trek, Firefly, my current favorite is NCIS and CSI. For the most part, I try really hard to not be tied to a TV schedule. So it is really great that a lot of TV shows are coming out on DVD.

Favorite Crafts

I have been embroidering since I was 5; knitting since I was 10 and crocheting since I was 13. I still do embroidery but really enjoy counted cross stitch more. Sewing has been something that I have been working on improving in the last couple of years. I am learning how to make bobbin lace and needlelace is on my to do list.

Unusual Hobbies

One thing that is not the typical hobby that I have been involved in for over 25 years is the Society for Creative Anachronism. The SCA recreates the best of the Middle Ages (600-1650). I love learning historical facts and trying to figure out how something was done. It is a hobby that I have enjoyed for years but is and always will be just a hobby.

Comment: Thanks for the card. I love Washington state! I think it's one of the most beautiful states I've been through. I did a training there with the Navy in Bremerton some years ago and can't wait to go back to see what missed.

Comment: Thanks! The address side of it was missing the 5th Lane. You could tell it was torn off as other parts on the same side. Thank goodness the zip code was still there. Otherwise I do not know if I would have received this beautiful PC. Every now and then I put tape over addresses. :)
