Just 'cause it's fiction, don't mean it ain't true

About Me

I am happily married to a guy I like to call "Horrible Man", although I also call him James. I have a wonderful son, Zachariah, who pushes the limits, asks weird but pertinent questions, and loves to make me laugh. I have a terribly cute toddler daughter, Roxanne, who is quite. I have a gentleman baby, Charles, born on his due date and lately getting into the bad habit of pulling hair, which I am encouraging a bit by wearing mine down, with the knowledge also that it's probably a hardwired trait, even if he is ten months old already. We lost our cat, after he lost his leg, because he scratched the baby. The shelter people told us that he'd likely be adopted, because most tri legs are due to the evidence of having been cared for. We still have the fish. I have gone back to school and am getting straight A's so far.I like it when it's quiet. Sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I eat hazelnuts. Sometimes I don't. People will make up their minds about me, and there's very little I can do about that. It is what it is.

"Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" was excellent as well, and should be read by anybody interested in beauty.My favorite authors include J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, John D. McDonald, Robert Jordan, J.R.Tolkien, Edna St. Vincent Millay, David Brin, R.A. Heinlien, Asimov, and Lemony Snicket.
