A little about me...

I’m organized to a fault
And frankly, I’d like the rest of the world to be organized in exactly my way. :-P

I’m the most subtle control freak you’ll ever meet
But will avoid confrontations at all costs.

I am spiritual
But not particularly religious.

I think there are many paths to one God
And if everyone practiced the truest tenants at the heart of their religion, the world would be a much kinder place.

I grew up at the shore.
I still love to hear the ice cream truck bells ringing down the beach.

I live in the mountains.
I love to watch the storms scream across the valley.

I’m a mother
wife
daughter
granddaughter
sister
aunt
godmother

I’m a homebody and very territorial.
I’m shy but not unsociable.
I’m pretty opinionated but will typically defer rather than argue.
I'm generally a good mom, but some days I suck none-the-less.
I tend to put everyone else’s needs before my own.

I love the different moods of light.
I hate the chaos of noise.
I hate cold.
I am always cold.
I talk too much.
I pick up accents much more quickly than is reasonable.
I hate making phone calls.
I'm lazy.
I like cars more than I wish I did.
I love music.
I’m a mediocre pianist.
I’m a fair photographer.
I'm a compulsive cleaner.
I'm a good friend.
I will always pick chocolate.
I acquiesce far too easily.
I love to sleep.
I love to be so wrapped up in a book that I fight sleep.
I wish I loved to get up in the morning.
I am a sucker for baby animals.
I love the rain, in reasonable increments.
I love my kitchen more than anyone should love a room.

Favorite winter day: snowy with a get-out-of-school-free pass, kids and sleds on the hill in back, hot chocolate waiting, pot of soup simmering and loaf of bread rising.
Favorite summer day: poolside, iced tea, good book, kids splashing, winding down w/ margaritas & tapas by the grill.
Favorite thing to do with A: Explore. Consumate hiker.
Favorite thing to do with T: Talk. Amazing kid.
Favorite thing to do with G: Disappear on the motorcycle for awhile.
Favorite thing ever: The sound of my family laughing.

We have a lot in common. Welcome to the blogosphere!

Tell K. I said Hi, and hope she's having a great time.

Will do. She's having a grand time, and I am re-living my trip to SF vicariously. She's just texted me from the bathroom line at the Golden Gate Bridge. Some moments are more inspiring than others, I suppose. ;-)
