Apparently, the best way to get to know people here is by posting a blog. And, since I didn't really put anything in the "About Me" section, I'll try to elaborate here. Just a bit here and there, so you can get the measure of me...

I'm short. Really short. And I'm curvy. I'm 4'11", not chunky, but by no means am I "in shape". Sometimes, though, I think that I have the strength, speed and prowess of a 6' tall Amazon living off the land and hunting, with her bare hands, for her food. This strikes people who know me as hilarious, for, although I revere nature, I am such a city girl, it's almost cliched. (My idea of "camping" includes a cabin, a bed, with a mattress, and a REAL shower, every day.) I'd never survive on, well, Survivor. The bugs alone would drive me nuts and I would be begging my teammates to send me home at Tribal Council.

It's strange, though. I can deal with "city" vermin. Roaches, waterbugs, flies, the occassional mouse... Throw a spider, centipede, or silverfish into the mix and I will run screaming from the room. My motto is, if it has more than four legs and crawls on the floor, it doesn't belong in my house. And no matter how much I revere life, I will call an exterminator on those critters if I have to.
