About Me:

I am an oxymoron. I adore fiber art, doing knitting and spinning. I love to laugh, usually at myself. I am a nerd of the Dr. Who and Star Trek variety. I am polyamorous and have the fortune of multiple loves in my life. I am in love with baking. I am sort of a hippy and want to raise alpacas some day. I was a vegetarian for 12 years, and now prefer to eat local and fresh. I am pretty lazy when left to my own devices.

I am the momma of a lovely little girl born November 2010. I am learning how to juggle my life with the new addition and finding myself in the sparse free-time.

What's something about your kid(s) that makes you happy?

She makes the most amazing range of emotive and hilarious faces. She laughs in large exhales, never giggles.

What's your most recent kid-related public humiliation?

Waiting to get on an airplane with a then three-week old baby who would not accept being told she had to wait until we boarded before she could have a boob. As she sat there wailing a herd of business-men behind me started rolling their eyes and muttering under their breath. One even said to me, "I sure hope I sit next to you!" with his voice dripping with sarcasm. I was so embarrassed. Thankfully she was silent the whole flight!

What about contemporary parenting culture pisses you off the most?

The fact that it has been falsely divided into two schools: People who ignore their kids, and people who smother their kids.

Who were you BEFORE you became a parent?

I was a dancer, an artisan, a lover of personal space, a nature-enthusiast, out every chance I got with friends, I loved sleeping-in and staying up. I was very like me now, just without the sleep or the social life.

What are you nerdy about?

MY FAMILY! Also growing food, campy TV, the outdoors, yarn, internet trends, and baking.

OPTIONAL: Do you have a sex life?

Do I!? Hells yes!
