About Me

Originally from Arizona, I have been living in southwest Virginia for the past eight years. I like traveling, watching movies, reading, cooking and baking, and knitting, especially dishcloths. I tried to learn how to crochet, but it didn't quite work out. :)

I'm shocked that I am a mother of a (nearly) ten-year old. My daughter is great. Fun sense of humor, caring, all that I could possibly have asked for.

I heard about this site from a friend who has been participating for awhile.

Favorite Music

I like a lot of stuff, but I love 80s stuff. My favorite band is New Kids on the Block. As unlikely as it seems, I also like the Cure and Depeche Mode. :D

Really, though, I love discovering new music. Generally speaking, I don't like country. I like a bit of everything else, though, including J-Pop.

As for newer stuff, I like the Selena Gomez, the Lumineers, Shawn Mendez...

Favorite Movies

Among my top 20 (in no particular order):

(the original) Willy Wonka, Father Goose, Father of the Bride, Marvel movies, Labyrinth, Atonement, Wanted, Enchanted, Amelie, Mean Girls, Penelope, Clash of the Titans (original), The Princess Bride, The Last Unicorn...

Favorite Television

The Office (both UK and U.S.A), Fraggle Rock, Arrested Development, Queer As Folk (UK), The Great British Baking Show, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, The Good Place, Friends

Favorite Crafts

I love all handmade things, but as for those I do myself, I knit (although I've been knitting off and on for over a decade now, I'm still not great and still have to follow a pattern), and I am slowly learning how to craft with paper (card-making, bookmarks, and things like that). I also sew a bit. I make all of my daughter's Halloween costumes and am currently in the middle of making her aprons for the girls in her cupcake club. I am in a local craft club. We get together once a month and someone teaches the rest of us how to do a craft. It's great fun!

I love glass, as in blown glass beads or glasses. I once made my own glass bead at a glass shop, and that made me want to start crafting everything in glass on my own, but then I took a glass blowing class, and it turns out that glass is not my forte!

I also like tote bags, and I like making them out of different things: old t-shirts, scrap material, etc.

Favorites

Colors: Burgandy, purple, reds... black combined with any of the former

Season: autumn!

Blogs: food-related blogs

Scents: vanilla, lavender, cinnamon, chocolate

Tea: black, green; particularly like chai and earl grey teas; do NOT like herbal teas

Snacks: chocolate, especially dark, but also like milk; honey; crisps/chips; popcorn; cookies; nut and cookie butters; donโ€™t like raisins

Comment: Thank you so much for the advice. I've been having trouble with letting go. I use Elsa (from Frozen) to remind me that letting go is important. Thanks! NYC is great for travel... but expensive to live in. :)
