Girly Mamma

I am here for Friends

About Me

I was born in Washington State. It's still home even though I can't move back yet.
My parents are divorced.
I grew up in Utah. I guess that's home too.
I was born in the year of the snake. Maybe that's why I've never been comfortable in my own skin.
I'm a pisces... but I don't like getting wet and I hate being cold.
I started college while I was still in High School (yes, I'm afraid I am smarter than you).
I burnt out on school after that and didn't go back for years after HS graduation (I said I was smart, not wise).
I went back to Seattle after HS.
I'm incredibly happily married.
I have two beautiful boys. And they're the sun, moon, & stars!
I moved to CA so my oldest could grow up near family.
I just moved back to Utah 3 years ago. the air sucks and as insane as Californians are, I miss my friends and I miss the coast.
I love the rain.
Music, books, tv, movies, crafts, cooking, writing, I enjoy amusing myself.
I drink water, milk, iced tea, spiced chai, herbal tea, kool-ade, apple or grape juice, lemon or lime ade & white mocha lattes. And that's about it.
I love the quiet. It doesn't frighten me, in fact I don't think it's ever quite silent enough.
There is no such thing as white noise. It's all noise and it all bothers me.
I did go back to school. Though at the moment I've hit yet another snag.
I'm not a neat freak. but I'm working on cleanliness as I age
I require attention.
I talk on the phone less than I ever did before! Even less with texting, and I can do that now without looking at my phone... scary .
I like cats, hamsters, ferrets, turtles...
I never was a dog person till Chi-chi & Tucker came along. now I'm a sucker for most of 'em.
Rabbits & guinea pigs are alright
Rats, mice, rodents with tails... disgusting.
Fish are awesome. Having exotic fish was great but my ex-hub was the one who took care of all that, I wouldn't wanna try it on my own.
Bearded Dragons rock! We have 3: Snowy, and the babies - Laurel & Hardy.
Anything else in an aquarium is fine although I would say over 60% of the time I won't touch whatever the animal is.
My family owns a fine chocolate shop and I don't like chocolate for the most part .
When I eat candy from the shop, I crack off the chocolate shell & eat the center. I don't get why it matters anyway! We make the centers too.
Despite my lack of obsession with chocolate for the most part, I'm slightly addicted to M&M's. My uncle Paul probably spins in his grave.
I have anger issues. but not so much since my divorce finalized and I moved... maybe it's just nothing's set me off yet LOL
I hate moving.
I'm afraid of being in the dark when I'm awake & about but I can't go to sleep till it's pitch dark. Even red power lights bother me.
I have a hard time falling asleep at night and I have a condition called RLS (crazy legs).
My favorite color is pink.
I love art. I have a small original collection and each piece is beautiful.
I make pottery when I can. It's therapeutic for me to sink into the clay and disappear.
I draw but not very well.
I've played piano for 25 years though not recently.
I don't think humans care for one another enough.
I've been working at eBay since early 2006 and now I get to work from home!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm odd... I would never say I'm shy or anything like that but... I really don't like meeting new people. I can't think of anything more uncomfortable. I don't know...

My one hard fast rule: I only add those I know In Real Life! No exceptions.
And no, that does not mean I want you to try to hook up with me so I'll know you IRL!!!

The scariest thing I saw on eBay last night

At eBay we filter for auctions that may be offering to sell a vote for the presidential election.  We don't allow that.  So last night I got an auction for a pin.  The title was: "John ...
