I'm a SAHM of 4 wonderful and creative children. I've been married to the same wonderful man for 12 years. He is my soulmate and sanity. I was a tattoo artist for many years and it was the most fun I've ever had at work! I'm heavily tattooed and don't regret a single one. I love my family, my church and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I do not feel as though being a Christian gives me the right to be judgemental, rude, or that I'm better than anyone else. I love diversity, respect everyone's religious, political, and sexual preferences and feel that life just wouldn't be worth living without our differences.

My family and I have 4 dogs, Cidney, Georgia, Shirley and Rowdy. We also have 2 regular rats, Potatoe and Spike, 2 hairless rats, Milo and Otis, an albino corn snake named Cowboy, 2 bearded dragons named Sid and Nancy and a female black widow spider named Emily. One of my son's has a bahama anole named Dragon, my husband has a hognosed snake named Ben and I have a ball python "Brain" and an iguana "Darwin". These are our newest additions and Valentines Day gifts! Our newest editions in March are 2 red eared slider turtles, Tuck and Shelly, leopard and tokay geckos who are still nameless for the moment, and my son's white's tree frog named Zero Gravity.

My all time favorite book is "I Know This Much Is True" by Wally Lamb.

Other favorites are:

Anything by Clive Barker,

"The Time Travelers Wife" by Audrey Neffennegger,

Most anything in the sci-fi or horror genres.

I love anything artistic that I can figure out how to do. My favorites seem to be anything 3 dimentional. Sewing, sculpting, beading, collage, etc. I also love to get messy and paint! I'd love to learn to knit, felt, and use resin.

I'm okay at a lot of things but not perfect at anything!

I LOVE: The colors black, green, orange and brown.
