39, grown up goth, mom to two(one of each, zane will be 13 on sunday, reidun was 11 on the 17th, just celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary on the 21st- july is busy for us!), stay at home out of choice but am hoping to pick up work doing photo retouching(film photography) because i miss it.
i am an artist- i am a metal smith/jeweler, i paint, draw, and am finally learning how to use photoshop after learning to use the first version way back when in art school. that should date me. i also knit and spin, i even process my own fleeces. i have four spinning wheels and hope to make it six at some point soon. i am approaching stash exceeding life expectation, and still buy more yarn and fiber because well, shiny! i have a major love for red lipstick, i collect makeup, shoes, and am finally dealing with purging my closet of all clothes that no longer fit me(most everything).
i love reading. if i don't have a book going i feel at loose ends. i love mysteries and suspense, have a new found love of alternate reality/sci fi/fantasy, and give me a good zombie or vampire series, well, i might not show up on lj until i have read all of the series available.
music. oh boy. i listen to just about anything, but the only knowledge i have of popular music is through my daughter. all four of us have our ipods/phones glued to us at all times so we have our music.
we are big believers in letting our kids do their own thing. our son is autistic but very high functioning. if either kid wanted to shave their heads or dye their hair blue, we'd have no issue with that. then again, i have naturally fire engine red hair, and have rarely had hair colors not found in a crayon box.
i do suffer from chronic pain, and am disabled from it. i tend to talk about that a bit. i also have three dogs- a deaf boxer, a pit bull, and a mastiff am staff cross. please do not friend me if you believe pit bulls are evil dogs. i have little tolerance for any form of -ism. i also have parrots, and we are starting our search for a third.
i read my flist daily, but tend to suck at updating as much as i would like. i am trying to get better! add me if you'd like and i will add you back and try to post at least something daily.
