About me

Gender Female
Industry Consulting
Occupation VP of Operations
Location Ohio, United States
Introduction I am a VP Operations Manager by trade. I am a writer, runner, quilter, and crocheter in my heart. I have been writing to some extent all my life, including creative, technical, instructional, and nonfiction. I taught myself to quilt 15 years ago through Simply Quilts and books from the local library. My current interest is the newer non-traditional quilting techniques. I also taught myself to crochet in an effort to stop snacking during evening TV. It worked and I have many lovely afghans to show for it. My newest crochet interest is amigurumi. I am new to running. I started with a 5 mile race on Labor Day. My sister talked me into trying it and I found that I love it. In May 2011, my sister and I are going to run the Cleveland Marathon.
Interests Writing, quilting, crochet, running
Favorite Movies In no particular order (except the order I thought of them): The Godfather, Star Wars (yes, even 1-3), Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Scarface, Mommy Dearest, Fright Night, The Jerk, House of the Flying Daggers, Kill Bill, Dogma, Life of Brian
Favorite Music My iPod contains everything from Bluegrass to Metal. I guess that bands I like best are Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Doors, Queensryche, and Marillion.

You're going to the moon! What did you forget to pack?

I am going to the moon and what would I pack? As many books as I could carry. On second though, I'd pack lots and lots of oxygen.
