Profile
| About Me |
Mother of six (wow, it’s still weird to say that), ranging from grown and flown to *very* unexpected twin babies; five boys and one girl altogether. Married a wonderful 22 years. A sort of middle-of-the-road mother, the kind who nursed four babies for a year but feels almost no guilt that the twins are growing up on formula; who has a Diaper Genie but also made a mei tai that is an original cohesion of several different carrier designs; who had the first bike trailer-stroller in town 20 years ago but has no interest in video baby monitors this time around (nor bottle warmers, nor electronics on the pack-n-plays…) |
| Interests |
I own a red kayak, sing mezzo-soprano, am secondary certified in English and Spanish, am fascinated by insects and amphibians and a lot of other things, have been active in mail art at times and the LDS church always, can’t sew in the traditional sense but am great at construction with fabric, won NaNoWriMo both years I entered, have done print and radio news and written a newspaper column, hate math, suck at housekeeping and organization (though after 22 years I fake it pretty well), and read. A lot. |
| Location | |
| Books |
You’re kidding, right? Can I list genres? Maybe a reverse list is best. I don’t read romances, mysteries, or detective novels. I do read almost everything else. |
| Movies |
Maybe I should amend my bio to say I really suck at listing favorites…I tend to like in movies what I hate in books. That is to say, I love romantic comedies. Also stories about families and movies that have good things to say, like _Secondhand Lions_ or _Life is Beautiful_ or _Wit_ or _Tortilla Soup._ I like Emma Thompsen, Hector Alizondo, and Anthony Hopkins. And Johnny Depp, but not in the way most women do. He’s just one of the few young actors who really understands acting and is superbly skilled at it. |
| Music |
Nothing too loud, dischordant or hard. I grew up on classical and opera, I came of age in the 80s, I had older siblings, we owned guitars, and I love close vocal harmony. |

And now, just for fun, I’ve separated my shoulder. Life just gets more and more interesting…

Tammy, BTW, when we’re not sick I’m generally at the Kroc during Toddler Time, but I can’t handle both boys in the water so they’re in the Play Care while I spend a few minutes in the hot tub after my workout. I might try to get my older son to come sometime; he

I think we are FINALLY almost over our colds here. We’ve been dealing with sickness for 2 1/2 weeks now. It hit just as Grandma came to town for a week–first Jesse, then Jonathan, then a day of flu symptoms for Daddy (thankfully that passed easily), then a cold for me which is a rarity.

Okay…sorry I’ve been kind of AWOL here. I’m going through an exhausted mom-of-twins stage. The elder started sleeping through the night, which was great, except surprisingly, I think I was more rested when I was getting up predictably at about 3:30 for twenty minutes than I am now that I’m waking up off
