I'm not entirely comfortable with self-promotion...and there's so much more to me than what I can write here...but here goes *lol*
I'm quick to laugh, slow to anger and reluctant to judge.
I'm a nurturer, a caregiver; I care deeply, love profoundly, and am fiercly devoted to those I love.
I am positive, proactive and addicted to hope. =) Nothing keeps me down for long, I refuse to let it...and I *always* find a way to shine through.
I'm a very passionate person, there is no 'middle ground', I feel and express everything with equal gusto. But I'm also very cerebral...I enjoy my intelligence and creativity.
I write fiction and poetry, and for a time, wrote for a local newspaper (what fun!!)...I'd like to make a living with my words, one day...for now, I work in a machine shop and absolutely *LOVE* it! I'm skilled with tools of all kinds...and there's so much to do, so much to learn...I get to use my creativity and my hands.

I'm the girl who rides down the highway with the windows wide open; sleeps on the ground next to the fire; and can be dazzling in an evening gown with perfectly coiffed hair in 20 minutes (yep...I've timed it).
I find humor and beauty all around me, and have a deep appreciation for all the small moments that make a life so grand. I believe 'facetious' is sarcasm with style and a high IQ.
When I look over the rail at the hummingbirds, they come right up to my face and look back *lol*
I love thunderstorms.
I love the way it's always cooler in the woods on a hot summer day.
I'm a sucker for a sweet guitar.
I leave misletoe up all year round.
I sculpt, make jewelry, all sorts of artsy things.
We make ornaments as gifts every year for Christmas.
I make my kids' Halloween costumes, too. ;-)
I love getting all dolled-up for a special occasion.
I love the way I can work things out, even the worst of situations, in spectacular fashion.
I love to explore big cities, and then go back home and appreciate being surrounded by the Green. I love camping, hiking, fishing (yes, I bait my own hooks!), campfires, gardening, hiking...anything outdoors.
I love to read, but haven't had the time recently.
I also like to play pool (badly), enjoy live music, museums, libraries, daytrips...and long rides to nowhere.
I'm pretty easy to please...I can enjoy pretty much anything, with the right company and/or frame of mind.

I've lived quite an interesting life, thus far...and while Simple lives nowhere near here, I wouldn't change a thing...the adversities we face, endure and overcome give us a deeper appreciation for our blessings. A huge missing chunk of the puzzle of my life has just fallen neatly into place, and so now, there's just that "one" more.

I don't wish. I hope. Endless, eternal hope, a firm believer in possibilities, with an astute eye for probabilities. I am naive, in that, I'm an open book...honest, trusting, caring, and I don't operate with ulterior motives or hidden agendas. I say what I mean, after careful consideration, and speak with tact and respect. So be careful what you ask...because you will get an honest answer.

...currently, trying to find the right path, trying to raise my children to be good, honorable men, and trying to figure out just exactly where I fit in.

Lots of things...
whadda ya need?

My huge...smile ;-)
The Grin is standard equiptment.

Ecclectic and varied.
I have an unhealthy obsession for horror and suspense.
Aside from S King, Clive Barker and Dean Koontz... Céline, Dostoyevsky, JD Salinger, George Orwell, anyone who can make me think.
I also enjoy true crime, war movies...pretty much anything but chick-flicks and romantic comedies.

Music, depends on the mood I'm in.

Food? It depends on who's cooking *lol*

My kids.
My friends.
My intellect.
My amazing superpowers.
Coffee.
And, well, my computer...because some of my dearest friends live in it *lol*

Mostly, I think about being a good example to my boys; how to be as strong and successful as they need me to be...

Quite frankly, I spend way too much time thinking about way too many things. My head hurts *lol*

...plotting World Domination, and preparing my minions for Global mobilization.

*lol*
...not on your life! ;-)

~you like laughter and intelligent conversation
~you'd like to spend time with a woman who makes your mind race, your heart pound and your tail spin ;-)
