Yippie-ki-yay, Melon Farmer!

About Me

Finally out of the ghetto in Phx and...am living in another part of Phx. Am married to a talented (hawt) filmmaker and we have a five year old mini schnauzer named Buddy-Blue. I have a blog I've kept for over seven years now but I won't keep one on here as I have former students who know I'm on MySpace. I'm mostly on Facebook these days and since MySpace doesn't do reminders for me, if you write me here it may be a bit until I respond. Also, just became a mom to the world's cutest little boy April 30th. All hail Oz (Ozias James), the great and the terrible!
