Bio

I’m a twenty something mother of two boys. Carter, my wonderful, perfectly normal human worm baby was born 12 January 2006 and his brother, Oz, who is also a wonderful, perfectly normal human worm baby, was born 28 April 2008. I was lucky enough to experience two births free of pain medication with Carter being born in the hospital and Oz being born at home, in water. Most of what I do now revolves around them, but I do have some other interests.

I'm a mother and a wife. My wee ones are Carter Isaac and Oswald Xavier, aka Oz, and they are the joys of my life. My husband is Hunter and he can be a pain in the ass, but I love him dearly despite forgetting why all too often. I'm a work-at-home-mom who attachment parents, cloth diapers, breastfeeds, cosleeps and babywears.

I love Harry Potter. I adore non-scary pirates. I'm always right. Even when I'm wrong. I didn't write that first.

faerishimmer did. It's still true. I have a lovely house full of lovely things that I adore. I like to knit and sew. I hate my bank, which is actually a credit union. It is teh Evil.

I'm a firm believer in vacationing from your significant other. It does a world of good. When I was younger I was obsessed with cows. I love my live journal.

I used to have pink hair. Then it was purple. Now it's neither.

My dog was the best dog ever. He just recently died of heart disease and made this awful, disgusting hacking noise most of the day. He wasalso deaf and going blind. But he was sweet and he put up with all the crap my wee one dishes out to him. He also had ring worm for over 6 months which was pretty gross.

I hate alot of people. I'm tolerant of people's differences, but definitely not tolerant of stupidity. I saw a t-shirt once that said "Stupidity is not a crime." If it isn't, it should be.

I'm just ending an eight year obsession with Marilyn Manson. He is incredibly beautiful and an amazing artist, but it's time I moved on. I haven't found something to replace him yet though. I would love to read more, but have difficulty prioritizing my day. I'm craving more tattoos even though I just got an amazing chest piece done. I like to watch World's Strongest Man on television. Magnus Samuelsson is my favorite strongman, but I also like Kevin Nee. I'm a total Stargate geek and have a thing for Richard Dean Anderson.

In addition I love all things irreverant or bizarre (in a happy way, not a scary way).

I am on a mission to read 50 books in 2009. Here is what I've read so far:
--How sad is this, so far, no books. How do people with children read?

In 2008 I was on the same mission, but only managed to read 6.
In 2007 I was on the same mission, but only managed to read 11.
In 2006 I was on this same mission, but only managed to read 11.
In 2005 I was on this same mission, but only managed to read 19.
