About Me

The Aluminum Archangel of Action* -- It's hard to be a superheroine in stylish, yet affordable shoes, especially now that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is ancient history. How do I save the world, support my family, deal with my finally-former-spouse's insanity and incredibly fragile ego, raise my kids right, and find fulfilment while maintaining my moral compass? *Title bestowed by First Nations (see link below)

How do you pronounce the 'g' in bologna?

Like the tilde over n in Spanish or h after n in Portuguese. Unless you pronounce the word baloney, and are probably American.
