Totally selfish post

But I need to make a new one, because I am in a new secret swap. Ok, I am running the swap, and I know who is sending to me, but I am in the process of forgetting, so I am surprised too! So, in an effort to have one concise, this is who I am post, here it is.
What I am… I am a mom, a daughter, a sister, a wife, and all the things those roles define. I act as an accountant, a chef (gourmet and diner varieties), a maid, a washing woman, seamstress, personal shopper, and any other menial household task you can think of. I am also a taxi service on occasion as well as a nurse.

Now that I have (somewhat) defined my role, here is who I am (on this day)… I enjoy knitting and spinning. I like bowling. I like reading and writing. I am a web and graphic designer by trade, and I do that in my spare time. I co-own and operate Punky Moms, the rockin’est (is that a word? It is now!) parenting forum out there. I spend way more time there than is probably healthy, but I seriously love it and couldn’t think of a better way to spend my spare time. And all my other time. And time that doesn’t exist yet. I like to think I can sew and do all sorts of other crafty things, but in reality, there isn’t any time left over for it.

I am in love with home  and unschooling, but I am sending my boys to school this year. We’ll see what happens next year. I can’t really afford the school they go to, and we got a great scholarship, but I don’t expect it to last forever. I also love homebirth and unassisted pregnancy and birthing. I hate doctors in almost any capacity except true emergency. I like all natural stuff, herb-lore, and avoiding western medicine if at all possible.

I love coffee. Not high priced Starbucks stuff (although it is a nice treat) but good, fresh ground home-brewed goodness. With lots of cream. I adore heavy whipping cream. Probably too much. I try to eat organic whenever possible, but I will purchase and eat local before I do organic (if possible).

I enjoy baking, and love kitchen gadgets. I am trying to convert my husband from a PC to a Mac.

I have lots of tattoos (13) and big ears. My lobes are stretched to 5/8 of an inch, my conches are a 10g, my tragii are a 10g and I have a nifty ~6g hole in my helix (it was a 2g).

I have a general wishlist posted here: http://azxuredawn.com/publicate/wishful/

I am a stay at home mom.

I live in South Florida, where it’s hot all the time. I love Disney. I love Warner Bros. too, but I am a Disney girl through and through, so it works out that we get to go a bunch of times a year! I grew up in Maryland. I love Ocean City, or at least my memories of it.

Hm… I can’t think of anything else right now. If my secret pal wants to know anything inparticular, just drop me an email!
