About Me

A life-long Alaskan serving a government ordered sentence in Florida. I have two daughters: an impish 2 year old that resembles a Gelfling from Dark Crystal (no kidding, look at her picture...) and a sweet, serious newborn (I'll tell you more about her once I learn more about her. We just met, you know). I spend my day taking care of my growing family. I do a lot of breastfeeding. I worry about wars, dehydration, fire ants and those damn prickly pear cacti that keep popping up in my yard. And now I'm worrying about vaccines too.. . .

My Interests

Hiking, looking at mountains and sledding. Pretty much anything that is currently unavailable in Florida. Oh, I enjoy travelling too. I guess I can still do that.... I'm always learning new things. My main interest is being the best mom I can be. I'm one of "those" moms

I'd like to meet:

Lots of people. Especially people that think like me, or at least are willing to agree with anything I say.

Movies:

Thank You For Smoking, Napoleon Dynamite, Litte Miss Sunshine, Dirty Dancing

Television:

The Office

Books:

What can I get from www.paperbackswap.com ?

Heroes:

Anyone who risks their life to save another, parents of high-needs children, and people that choose to do the right thing. And the person that invented Cozy Cocoons (www.cozycocoon.com)

Please do not offer me cheese with my whine

Because I am now dairy-free. At least for 2 weeks so we can see what happens. Our new baby (not so new- it's been 10 weeks since she was born) has a problem with spitting up and throwing up. Her probl...
