Introduction I'm a 30-something mom, bumbling through life without a syllabus. I flunk some life tests and ace others. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and prevent my children from making the same ones.
Interests Parenting (anyone have a manual on that?), wifing (is that a word?), photography, painting, dogs, cats, fish, running, sushi, coffee, tea, wine (good wine only, please), Atlanta, antiques, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, ballet, psychology, Audrey Hepburn, Atlanta traffic reports
Favorite Movies Breakfast at Tiffany's; Fiddler on the Roof; My Fair Lady; The Sound of Music; Shrek (all 3); Love great horror movies; Fried Green Tomatoes; Steel Magnolias; many more
Favorite Music I'm the (self-proclaimed) 80s queen. I tend to rely on the 60s, 70s and 80s eras when I need some feel-good tunes, but I'm always up for new tunes. I love music that sinks into my bones and makes me move....Amy Winehouse!! Billy Joel; Pearl Jam; Journey; Jim Croce; Sarah McLachlan; KD Lang; Nelly Furtado; Timbaland; Justin Timberlake; Blu Cantrell; Sheryl Crow; Alicia Keys; Coldplay; INXS; Blondie; Fleetwood Mac; The Police; Beck; Tom Waits; Enigma; Pink; No Doubt; Gwen Stefani; Nickelback; Puddle of Mudd; Motley Crue; Ratt; ACDC; Van Halen; Dokken; Classics IV; Four Tops; Janis Joplin; The Doobie Brothers; Steely Dan; Chicago; Supertramp; America; Blood Sweat & Tears; Ozzy Osborne; and a gazillion one-hit wonders....
Favorite Books Anything by Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe or Shakespeare; Nabokov; Tom Wolfe; Voltaire; Dostoevsky; Steinbeck; F. Scott Fitzgerald; Mark Twain; to name but a few....

Which do you prefer and why: whittling with soap or whistling with wood?

Why whittle with wood when one would whittle with washsoap? [say that 5 times fast]
