About Me
I am old, fat, funny, and caring. I have never been sensible or ordinary or average, nor do I have the slightest desire to be so. I have absolutely no money, my flowers die from lack of watering, I buy the cheapest cat food legally sold, and my children are, in retrospect, perfect. I would die without music. I love Christmas. I like to stay up late and sleep in, but I'll get up early for YOU. Undisciplined children are the devil's spawn, and people who do not have a lot of books in their homes are boring. My cat is old and purrs funny. My husband puts up with a lot from me and is to be admired for his effort. I can not walk past a person in need, words are my weapon of choice, and I love people in general even when I am intolerant of stupidity. That's right: I do not suffer fools gladly, and I don't think you should, either. However, even taking all that into account, I'm a nice person and if you read my journal I'll go read yours. Steve Spangler is my mentor and friend, and if you don't go to his website and have a blast, you're a..a... DOODOO HEAD! <--or something.
Never mind the turtle. Don't you think you're sure to win?
I never win. I don't always lose, but I never win.
