About me – sorry.

I’ve been tagged by Jen at Mama’s Magic. So I’m supposed to list 6 weird things about myself. I don’t really consider myself ‘weird’, though others may – so I’m interpreting this to mean ‘unusual’.

Here goes:
1. I’m a huge Sci-Fi fan. I’ve even been to a Star Trek Convention. Now while I consider this perfectly normal- other people seem to think I’m a bit odd because of it.

2. I used to be a wild animal trainer – yet my favorite animals to work with were the llamas.

3. My dad and I once invented and built a wheelchair for a paralyzed cat. We were in the newspaper for that.

4. I’m not afraid of snakes or spiders – I even like them, but I can’t stand ants, yet I’m considering getting an ant farm for my daughter. I guess they feel safer to me trapped in the farm.

5. I’m addicted to paper and fabric. I love having it around – looking at it and touching it, even if I don’t make anything from it. In fact, I’m always just a little bit sad to cut into a pattern that I particularly love.

6. I have an odd sense of humor. I am frequently to only one laughing in a theater at an odd moment, or I tell jokes and only receive blank stares in return. I get it from my dad. We laugh with each other a lot.

I’m Sorry

This blog has been exactally what I didn’t want it to be.

So far I’ve just been babbling about myself in a way that isn’t interesting or useful to anyone. That isn’t what I intended to do with this blog. I don’t mind sharing personal experiences if they illistrate something, but so far I’m just ranting. The original goal of this blog was to share what I was learning as I try to grow my baby and kid toy crafting business, and as I expand my freelance writing.
I’ve learned so much from reading about people who’ve done what I’m trying to do. I wanted to help others the same way.
So, I will strive to supply this blog, and hopefully my readers (if there are any) with something more substantial than the amunt of sleep I’m getting or how may dirty dishes are in my sink. Now, I may be likely to stry occasionally and get of topic – this is one of my special skills, but I’ll try to be educational as much as possible.

Right now I’m reading a very good book called “Duct Tape Marketing”. I’ll post a book review when I’m done.
