About Me

Look at it this way - if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off...
I'm Lydia's (impy, Billy, chewy, whoever she is this week) mom....I'm also a digital artist and photographer, a website designer and an internet marketing educator - when I'm not busy embarrassing Lydia and generally making her life miserable just cos I'm her mom, and that's my job!
I like good conversation, and good champagne...I enjoy dressing up and going out on the town, but I'm also perfectly happy just hanging out in comfy old clothes doing nothing in particular. I like to make people laugh, and like people who make me laugh - people who can laugh at themselves and at life's strange little ironies, a highly developed sense of humor can get you through a lot...I talk like I write, and yes, have trouble ending sentences sometimes, LOL....
My websites:
SweetDreams Digital - my art site
Howling Wolfes - mother/daughter effort
CashCat Internet Marketing Resources
Catnap Creations Gift Shop
MySpaceStuff - comments & layouts, etc.
PickyPiccy.com - photo hosting/sharing
Practical Products for
the Imaginative Individual
A line can be straight, or a street, but the human heart, oh, no, it's curved like a road through mountains.

I'd like to meet:

Beyond that, I'm open to suggestion....I don't like phonies, liars, people who can't see past the surface, or people who play headgames....I'm not interested in having sex with men who are young enough to be my children - while it's very flattering to be hit on, I can't see an involvement with someone who's closer to my daughter's age than to mine, unless it's just as friends, LOL!
