I am a slightly-before-the-Baby-Boom-Echo-era (Gen. X)mother of two middle school age children, married for 16 years to a doctor who wants to be a rock star in his spare time. (My next husband will be a rock star who wants to be a doctor in his spare time.) I am four classes short of my degree in Contemporary American Literature, though I've also majored in Art (briefly,) and Sociology (specifically demography, still my first love.) I live in a lovely little Tudor which some of the neighbors call "Snow White's Cottage" near Lake Sacajawea in Longview, WA. I suffer from organizational problems (sigh), despite which, people keep asking me to be PTO president.

Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, KD Lang. I've seen Boys of the Lough (Celtic) and Kathy Mattea (country) recently.

Roman Holiday, The Lost Boys, House of Flying Daggers, Merchant-Ivory historical films, and nearly anything with Kevin Spacey, Doris Day, John Cusack or Cary Grant in it.

House, Bones, Numbers, Desperate Housewives, Grays Anatomy. Love TV shows on DVD. Big Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly) fan. Like Gilmore Girls.

knitting (enthusiastic neophite,) crocheting (can pick up a pattern and do just about anything,) beading (I've taken peyote and wiring classes), papercraft, sewing, hand embroidery of the vintage linen variety, watercolors, gardening, the frosting arts.
