About Me

I'm a wife to Jim and a mom to Nate, birds, fish and tortoises. Former mom to the fiercest cockatiel of all time, an iguana, frogs and a couple more birds (*pouring some millet spray, hibiscus leaves, crickets and seed on the ground for my homies*) Rehab mom to released mockingbirds.
I love volcanoes. This has been since my trip up the Pacific coast. Now I am totally addicted.
I collect Star Wars toys. They sit in my closet in Sterlite containers and I hardly look at them but somehow it makes me happy knowing that they're there.
TiVo is both awesome and my total downfall.
I graduated from college despite scheduling all my classes around The Price is Right.
If you posted pictures of your wedding on your myspace profile and you've "tracked me," chances are I was there to look at them. I love that stuff. Yep, even if I have no clue who you are but especially if you're an acquaintance or if I know you. If that sort of thing weirds you out, I'd like to suggest you make your profile private. I see wedding pics on the "cool new people" myspace front page and I click through... But really, wedding pictures are awesome and expensive for a reason--they're meant to be admired and everyone looks beautiful on their wedding day. I love other peoples photos--I think that's just because I really like taking pictures myself and have always just enjoyed soaking in images.

So Long Grey Bird

I took Kinsey in to the hospital for the third time this week after she fell off her perch.  She was very weak and looked alarmed and possibly disoriented.  By the time I got her to the vet,...

No More Heartbreak, Please

My Timney 'frican Grey is on her way to the hospital for the second time this week.  She was doing better--her appetite was back and she was vocalizing.  Tonight, however, she developed a sw...

Funny things that my spouse has said

These things I have considered putting up as my "tag line" for my profile, but I shall put them here instead. "I like the 'Intense Jet Ear Violence.'  If I ever have a band, I think I might have...
