I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hello. We have been married for going on 10 years now. But we've been very much best friends for 18. Yeah, we're the highschool sweethearts! (Every grade has a few of them!) We have a mastiff, a cat, a guinea pig, numerous fish, two rats, and seven hens. (I'd have more animals if Justin would let me.) We are outside a lot of the time with the dog just messin' around by the fire, working on the latest 'house' project, or taking walks around our gorgeous 10 acres of land. We're very honest people. (You'll know how we feel about you.) We perfer blunt openess over mystery. We are usually home together and don't 'hit the bars' much. But we love to see our friends when it happens that way. (When you get us rolling on some drinks..... it's hard to make us stop!! So, we LOVE to have a good time!) When we tell a story, we end up both telling it together; interjecting 'important' details where the other one misses. We fit together quite well!Speaking for me: I adore plants (and animals and birds!), and it's not uncommon to see me with my nose in a plant encyclopedia or bird book. I adore my job. Shroder and I are BFF's. Natalie is my lesbian-lover monkey. And little String Bean leaves me giddy. I take care of bats, baboons, macaques, mice, rats, hampsters, squirrel monkeys... AND, soon to be zebra finches! I love to cook and am usually a very happy person. I try to keep myself occupied with some reading when I get the chance to sit down and have some alone time. I'm into drug-induced writings and erotic fiction. (I'm currently reading "Lady Chatterly's Lover") I love tea and have an extensive collection.For him: Well, he's a pretty great guy. He can be extremely meticulous when fixing or cleaning anything and usually excells at whatever he does. He's super great with computers (which blows my mind!) and is fascinated by space and all of its infinite possibilities. He's into more exotic foods than my encapsulated appetite even dreams of and whips up all sorts of thai, indian, Malaysian, and chinese concoctions. (That shit is yummy! How could I have stayed a 'meat and potatoes' girl for so long?!)Life constantly unveils its little secrets, and we know we have so much to learn.

Jimmy

My great aunt died today.  And although it may seem like "Great-Aunt" has no immediate meaning to most people in the family sense, my Jimmy was like no other.  She was like a second mother t...

I've Finally Lost It...

.. So, it had been raining all day, and I was on my way outside last night for a quick smoke. Anyone who knows me knows I talk to myself, perhaps quite often, and last night was no different.  So...

Sweet sleep...

So many times I've watched people sleep.  Mostly people I care about or love.  I think about what they're dreaming; are they plagued with horrid dreams or lucky enough to have the good ...
