I am here for Friends

About Me



I moved from Seattle to Hawaii about seven years ago, and have since had two beautiful daughters. I am the reluctant owner of several businesses in Hawaii. Though the businesses are actually awesome, I am tired of working and want to get on to the traveling/sailing around the world part of my life where I can sepnd my time enjoying my daughters' growing and learning rather than wasting more time getting money.

I am currently in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (What?!?!?) on our sailboat. We are hoping to go cruising, but it is not too likely to happen anytime soon, with work, school, and sailing all being a little out of control right now.

I am attending a welding course right now. My daughters are in school for most of the day, so I am filling my time with learning a new skill myself. Fire is cool. Melting metal is cool. Melting metal with fire is the most cool.

My Interests

Sailing. Pirates. Welding. Art. Scuplture. Technology. Reading. Anything but work. Oh, and not remodeling or housework either. I am interested in the Flying Spaghetti Monster (all praise his noodliness) and computers, design, painting, drawing, music, reading (particular interest in reading these days) my beautiful daughters having some future on this dying planet, and the health and happiness of the people I love.

I'd like to meet:

Old friends - you know who you are! I am pretty much online all the time for work, but may not get to myspace much, so if you really are an old friend of mine, email me at sarah at sailingserenity dot com and I will be sure to find you through good old fashion email.

Take a look at my top 8!! My step-daughter, some of the kids I used to nanny for, also my awesome cousins and little brother! They are all super-cool! I am so proud to have been a part of your lives!

Music:

Yes. Hardcore, metal, punk, and 80's pop music are a surefire hit around here. Expect to hear anything from Iron Maiden, Parasites, and All, to Pink Floyd, Snapcase, and Men Without Hats when visiting to my ipod.

Movies:

Serenity. Oh, and we all liked the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe as well as Madagascar. Three movies in the same year. Banner year for Hollywood.

Television:

um, what?

Books:

Yes. I really like books, but I have been described as indiscriminate. This past year or so I have read the Narnia series (again) to my daughters, The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, Still Life with Woodpecker, Another Roadside Attraction, Voyaging on a Small Income, The Orchid Thief, Striptease, Sick Puppy, Cryptonomicon, Kiln People, and Earth by David Brin. I liked the Philip Pullman books the best, oh and Earth was quite a treat.

Heroes:

His Noodliness, of course, and my beautiful, strong, courageous, generous, and kind daughters.
