About Me



momma to baby violette, born october 23rd 2007... such a big girl now!

i love getting kitty-love

i love camping, 'specially when there are hot springs involved

in my spare time i like to make noise with my cello
tee hee...here's a funny picture of me making some noise =)

if you ever want to try to bribe me, the best way is to offer to take me out for a picnic on the beach, especially if there will be red wine, good crusty bread, fruit, and brie involved. and if you're really desperate, try offering me a nice, big peanut butter cookie...
mmm... i ♥ me some peanut butter cookies
