I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a Southern Ohio girl transplanted to Silicon Valley via my wonderful husband, Andy. I'm mom to an 8 year old boy, a 15lb cat, a mouse and a couple of hermit crabs. I've been called a walking contradiction, I can build a mud hut with the hippies and knock skulls in a pit. A friend once said, "She'll hug a tree then kick your ass!"

I'm also a jewelry artist. Making handmade, one of a kind jewelry is my passion.

My Interests

Geology, meteorology, history, culture, religion....academia in general could keep me entertained for years. Jewelry, stones, beads...the adornments of ancient cultures proves to be a never ending source of inspiration and fascination.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can teach me something new...and that's pretty much anyone.

And really cute animals. I like meeting them, too.

Music:

My current rotation....Motograter, Scissor Sisters, Bob Denver, System of a Down, Loreena Mckennitt, Inda Arie, Concrete Blonde, Hagalaz Runedance, The Allman Brothers, and Willie Nelson...no shit, they all hang out in the same CD changer without any problems.

Books:

I have a very strange fascination with instructional manuals, reference books, scientific journals, maps, textbooks, and history books. I only like to read if I'm learning something, i have a very hard time reading for entertainment...that probably has something to do with my dyslexia.

Heroes:

My Mom

Seasons Change...

So here’s Spring...the seasons have changed. Is it just natural that when the seasons change I feel the need to change? Is that an instinctual animal drive? It feels natural, and is not at all a...
