| Introduction | My husband and I and our three young kids recently moved into our first house and we've never been happier. Or poorer, but happier is far more important, don't you think? We are making our way through various DIY projects and furnishing the house on a shoestring budget and I get such a rush out of it all. Between that and enjoying our children, we are busy peeps. Every day we are grateful for all that we've earned, all that we've learned, all that we've been given, and all that we are are lucky enough to have. |
| Interests | DIY on the skinniest little shoestring budget ever, sustainable living, making old things new and ugly things pretty, my kids are very interesting to me, frugality, learning, food preservation, sewing, cooking, home improvement, gardening, reading, craft beer, wine, my husband is also really interesting, I dig music, movies, tv, and all sorts of other stuff. |
| Favorite movies | All sorts of movies. Lord of the Rings - all three, but Fellowship is my favorite, the Hobbits, Sherlock Holmes-s, All of the Harry Potters although I'm disappointed in the 6th one, Star Trek, Master & Commander, Old School, Dumb & Dumber, Anchorman, Rear Window, Psycho, Patriot Games, James Bond - Daniel Craig version, American Psycho, American Beauty, Terminator, Die Hard, The Big Lebowski, Royal Tenenbaums, Silver Bullet, Fight Club, Office Space, Election, You've Got Mail, Pulp Fiction, Ocean's Eleven, Star Wars 3-6, City of Ember |
| Favorite music | All of the music that doesn't suck goes here. All of the music that does suck - country music and top 40 pop garbage, I'm looking at you - get out of this section immediately. |
| Favorite books | LOTR, HPs, mysteries, Rebecca, Little Women, the JD Robb series, Anne of Green Gables etc., To Kill A Mockingbird, supernatural stuff |
Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
No. Spoons were vestigial fingers, the tips of which gradually widened and flattened into shallow bowl shapes, and eventually fell off. It took people a while to get over the skeeviness of using their own detached digit to eat off of, but once they saw the usefulness of it, mass-production soon followed. Thus, the origin of the spoon. There is no fork involvement.
