Always Forgive Your Enemies. Nothing Annoys Them So Much. - Oscar Wilde.

About Me

I'm nice to the point of being stupid. If you know me, you know that. I'm cranky and cluttered. I'm tragically teenage and self-destructive. I need to find my good mood and get stuck back in it!My husband is awesome. He tolerates my mood swings with the patience of a saint. He's a mad scientist and a super genius and I have loads of respect for him. He's the man behind Nulu Bicycles. Custom, handmade bicycle frames. Check it out. We'll send you a shirt if we can.My daughters are wonderful and talented. Not to mention charming, perfect, well-rounded, and modest - just like their mother. *dry cough, laughter, and then chirping crickets here*I spend my elusive free time walking my dogs, sewing, and being otherwise crafty. Hooray!
