I'm a red-headed, right-handed, right-brained, happily-married, hockey-addicted, geek...who just moved to North Carolina!

I love things that are or have to do with:
purple
horses
cats
Eeyore
hockey
SJ Sharks
ATCs
soft/fuzzy
sparkly
miniaturized
over-sized
shiny
interesting
new to me
absolute must see/have/do/try/whatevers!

I don't love things that are:
wool
scratchy
flowery
pink
overly-girlie
delicate

I'm not a scrapbooker or a crochet'er/knitter but I am an embroiderer - and I'm always willing to share the wealth :-)

I am trying to keep a lid on the amount of stuff in my life, so HEARTS will be given for consumables, intangibles, or pass-on-ables (music, books, food stuffs, craft supplies, electronic files) rather than sit-on-a-shelf items (stuffed animals, knick-knacks, boxes, paper). On the other hand if it's the thing that you think is coolest and everyone should know about/have one I'll be thrilled to check it out!

I do ADORE getting mail - letters/postcards/whatever!

How I Met Your Mother, West Wing, CSI, Project Runway, Ugly Betty, Veronica Mars, Highlander Buffy, Angel, Battlestar Galactica (both of them), MASH, Gilmore Girls, Tudors, and pretty much anything that makes you think!

...of course I only watch TV every once in a blue moon so my TiVo gets a bit full :-P

Painting illuminated manuscripts
sewing
needlework
theatrical sets & costumes
photography
web/graphic design
...I love to try my hand at anything and everything!

McCaffrey's Pern, Martin's Game of Thrones, Aspirin's Myth Inc., Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality, Potok's Chosen, Brook's World War Z, Kimmel's Zippy books, Follet's Pillars of the Earth, Buford's Heat, Setterfield's Thirteenth Tale, Foster's Flinx/Humanx Commonwealth, Landvik's Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, Sittenfeld's Prep, Robinson's Sword Dancer, fantasy, sci-fi, and far more cheesy romances than I'd like to admit.

Classic Rock, 80's New Wave, Country, Hard Rock, Pop, Musicals...
Duran Duran, Elvis, Tom Lehrer, Killers, ACDC, Les Miserables...
so many singers, so many bands, even well-written rap finds its way into my CD collection.

Juno, Father of the Bride, 5th Element, Ever After, Strictly Ballroom, Grudge, Highlander, Rob Roy, Mystery Alaska, Indiana Jones, Holy Grail, Legally Blonde, Herbie, Black Stallion, The Day After Tomorrow...
Costume dramas, love stories, comedies, psychological horrors, cop movies, and any movie where they destroy (or seriously maim) the planet.
