About Me


Myspace Layouts

I'm a mom who wears combat boots, has tattoos, piercings, knits and has a yurt.
I'm creative but generally broke so I put my Scottish MacGyver skills to good work - I can pretty much make anything work with a paper clip and a stick of gum!
After I win the lottery (?!) I will buy a big piece of land near the mountains, design and build my own green/off-grid place and invite all my friends to live there in a non-cult, separate houses, but share the tractor kind of way.
I have one Teenmonster, and a zoo!
I collect restaurant wear and antiques from the 20's, 30's and 40's, have a nice collection of Heavy Metal and Epic mags and I LOVE cars , driving, driving fast and far.
Someday I will make it to Everest Base Camp (I am a dreamer but I'm not stupid). learn how to fly a glider and show up at Burning Man with a giant bio diesel powered refrigerator truck FULL of nice COLD juicy oranges!
