About Me

Goats. Bees. Garden. Kids. It's all pretty hillbilly, really.

My Interests

We live off the grid. Hydro-electric, baby! Um...we live in the house that my husband built. We just installed the first flushing toilet the house has ever seen. It's great, really. But not having one did manage to keep relatives at bay...
I have some super duper kids and a freaking awesome husband. He totally puts up with my mad-scientist absentmindedness.
My kids are super geniuses. It's really hard sometimes because I rarely can pull a fast one on the tall one...and even the short one is catching on WAY too fast!!

I'd like to meet:

The spider in my window. I would ask him or her if I should dust more often. And it would say "hack hack i can't breathe..."

It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
--Blaise Pascal

Music:

Old stuff. Some new stuff. umm...today I like The Bad Livers Uncle Tupelo, OCMS, Ry Cooder Bob Dylan Doc Watson Allison Krause & Union Station Jayhawks The Band Robert Earl Keen Jerry Jeff Walker.... Lucinda Williams Live at the Fillmore. She's like the Tori Amos for grown-ups. there. I said it.
Music has always been important to me. So much so that I bought a 30GB iPod. Damn I suck. It's pretty hard to fill up 30GBs worth of music...so I thought, what the hell, I'll throw a couple Colbert shows on there...but what they failed to tell you was that it takes two days to download a 21 minute TV Show. I'm too scared to attempt to download a movie. Anyway, I like bluegrass, old-timey stuff, ballads, alternative country, new orleans music, cuban music, blues, and the occasional rock anthem.

Movies:

I like 'em scary. That's it. Sorry, but it's true. It is, however, hard to, in good conscience, watch a scary movie with a 2 year old in the room. Therefore, I do not watch many scary movies.

Television:

The Wonder Pets. The Backyardigans. Dora the Exploder. Yes, I freaking have a TV. So shoot me.

Books:

Books? I read fragmented sentences from knitting patterns. And such classics as "Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island." The last book I read was "The Hive and the Honey Bee." THAT was a long time ago...Orchid Blues by Stuart Woods (It was okay. Not great. Too many contrived coincidences.) Saving Fish From Drowning by Amy Tan (difficult at first but gets epically better.) When the Earth Moves: Women and Orgasm by Mikaya Heart (Highly recommended!) Dalva by Jim Harrison (freaking awesome I can't wait to read "The Road Home" which completes the story.) Celestine Prophesies (lame story but good idea)

Heroes:

People who recycle.

The saga continues....

Why are children so obsessed with stairs? This fact gives me daily heart attacks. Julia is a great girl, but she loves to tease me with the stairs. She really needs to get out of this phase.  And...

I had my transcripts sent to HSU and finished my FAFSA. This is getting serious. I can only hope that I can find an eco-car to drive the two hours up to the university before school starts. My truck g...
