The Big Burbs

My blogs

Gender	Female
Location	Near Seattle, WA
Introduction	Our Little House sits on the edge of a sprawling suburban landscape instead of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Though the setting differs, I've assumed the notion that my own daily aspirations are not so different from those of my girlhood heroine. As a wife and mother of three, tales of home and hearth resonate with me the same way a good adventure does. There, thanks.
Interests	Pretty much everything described in Jane Brocket's "Gentle Arts, " plus horses (wish I could have my own), nordic skiing, eating sweets from my favorite chocolatier and neglecting the housework.
Favorite Movies	All time faves: Edward Scissorhands, Blade Runner, The Shining. Recent faves: Coraline, Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Favorite Music	I'm listening to Zooey Deschanel at the moment.
Favorite Books	All time fave: Hemmingway, The Old Man and the Sea for it's brilliant economy of words. Most recent faves: The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

No. I just rolled my eyes and wondered aloud why they never taught anything in school I could use in the 'real world.'
