| Introduction | Graduated in 1995 with a BFA from Virginia Commenwealth University. Finally have a job that utilizes my degree after almost a decade of office space cube farm hell. Turning 32 this year and discovered during SXSW that my 31 year old body can't rock (stay out until 2am) like my 21 year old mind thinks it can. That is not stopping me from trying or wearing creepers. Love to cook, sew, and find creative ways to make stuff. Good sites that support this habit are: www.readymademag.com, www.craftster.org/forum/index.php, and www.girlshop.com. Working on getting my own design company up and running. Discovering that is not as easy as I first thought but am ok with the challenge. Still battling self-love vs. self-loathe but it's almost always in balance enough that I lean heavier towards the Force as opposed the the Dark Side. Thank the stars every damn day for my husband. Who is a peach and a nerd, a genius and a dork. And thankfully (as well on record with the State of Texas) mine. |

The wicked backspin caught you off guard. How will you play it off without losing your footing?
I have asked four times for a better question, but keep on getting ridiculous ones. Eck.
