| Introduction | My husband and I chose to come back and settle in the Northwest, simply because it is the most beautiful place on Earth. We meant to buy a starter home, have our first (and possibly second) child there. Fix it up in our free time, then sell it and move up in the world. Thirteen years later...the house is still starter size; the family a whole lot bigger. Four kids (and only one bathroom--YIKES!). Now we're working to increase the size of the house to fit our family. CRAZY!! |
| Interests | Raising children who are intelligent and well-rounded, Reading books that touch my emotions, Scrapbooking (someday...in a house with room and a digital program I actually understand), Yoga (well, the Wii version), Remodeling on a tiny budget, Dancing in the kitchen, My extremely attractive husband. |
| Favorite movies | Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Wives & Daughters, Jane Eyre, LOTR, Gone with the Wind, Return to Me, Tommy Boy, The Incredibles, |
| Favorite music | Michael Buble, Death Cab for Cutie, Broadway soundtracks (we're into "Wicked" right now), and Pandora. If I need a pick-me-up I go for my Earth, Wind and Fire channel. When I'm in a thoughtful mood, I go to Steely Dan. If I need to clean house, the Pet Shop Boys. |
| Favorite books | Gone with the Wind, Princess Academy, So Big, Jane Eyre, The Secret Garden, ok I'll admit it...Twilight series. |
You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
Never move out of this "starter home"!
