About Me

karabu Too many intrests. I love spending time with my kid(s). I am an aspiring writer with a few small publications to my credit, but I really feel like I'm still learning all the time. One day I hope to be good. I have a new online store where I sell handmade items (blankets, quilts, toys) for babies and kids. I plan to add some pet stuff very soon too, and probably some 'grown up' qults. Check it out!Karabu's Patchwork Creations

My Interests

Reading, Writing, Quilting, Playing, Animals and Nature. And sometimes other random things that catch my intrest for awhile.

I'd like to meet:

Dreamers. Visionaries. People full of life and joy.And, of course, llamas! ..
adopt your own virtual pet!

Music:

I like a little of everything. I sing loud show tunes in the car.

Movies:

Serenity! Anything Hitchcock. Most Pixar stuff.

Television:

Right now, I enjoy Myth Busters, and Dirty Jobs.

Books:

I have a millon favorite books. Douglas Adams is probably number one on my favorite authors list. Robert Heinlein. I'll have to get more orginized to list the rest. Oh - and the must read (especially the first story, wink wink):

My amazing husband

Diaper bag snatching is pretty damn low.

I don't mean to have every blog entry now turn into a whine fest, but I'm still so shocked that this happened, I have to share/vent. We live about a block from an elementary school.  They've ...

Screaming and Crying Pay Off!

I though I should update on the US Bank fiasco.  A few days ago I got another letter from the bank.  The DID find an error this time and "apologize for any inconvenience it may have cau...

Cat Fence-In System

I just have to plug this thing for a moment. . . I wish we'd discovered it years ago.  We have two cats with litter box issues.  Bob - who has a broken spine, so he can't really help his pr...

Eh. So I'm a NaNoWriMo loser. I thought I'd be sad, but I'm not really. I won't bore you with the details of the kind of month I had, but the fact that I made it this far is something I'm proud of. Ex...

I can’t think of a title

I'm far behind on my NaNo novel. I've been behind almost the whole time, but now I'm far enough behind that I know I won't make 50,000.  I don't need encouragement - I'm not stopping, but I'm doi...
