About Me

I'm a full time working mother of four children ages 17, 13, 8, and 11 months. I am married to my best friend.

My favorite color is pink, or green, or blue, or brown, or whatever strikes my fancy on any given season. My favorite flavor is vanilla (and strawberry, and chocolate, and peanut butter...).

I adore receiving stuffed animals, original poetry, cards, and thoughtful things that I need - like a full tank of gas or new art pencils.

I'm a big fan of crayons, anyone who has never had crayons should go buy some RIGHT NOW.

I am a Christian, so Bible quotes are welcome because my walk with Christ is a journey of bumps. I need all the help I can get.

I can often be found curled up under a warm blanket with a book in one hand and a cup of hot tea in the other. I am a big fan of books (all kinds) and tea (all flavors).

Even though I am a typical bookworm (and have the standing nickname of "Miss Dictionary", I have my moments of outdoor enjoyment as well. My favorite season is Autumn, and some of my favorite outdoor activities are geocaching, hiking, biking, and camping.

My most favorite place in the world is Mackinac Island - I am a hopeless romantic. If you have never been there - go.

I like to write, create, dance, imagine, and live. Most of all I love that God made the person who invented ice cream.

Comment: Thanks for your letter! I can understand the degree debate and the circumstances. I'm approaching 30 this year, mother of 2, and still stuck in the debate on my B.S. Oddly enough, I'm bouncing between Business Administration and Social Work (amongst others). Good luck in your decision making! I hope you have your "ah-ha" moment soon!

Mailed! The post office said that it should get to you in two days. (I think that sounds a little ambitious - don't you?) : ) I hope you still get a good laugh despite delays & the fact that it's not the original.

Jbenn on May 4, 2010:

I'm printing the ransom note right now! Surprisingly- the matte photo paper that I'm using has retained the full ransom creepiness of the original. This time I will mail in a business sized envelope. Perhaps we will have better luck with that. I cant WAIT for you to see it!

Jbenn on May 4, 2010:

Oh NO! The Post office REALLY let us down this time! I mailed it on April 12th. Large manilla envelope. Man I was so proud - I triple decoupaged that sucker! Here are our options: I could print off my copy of the Ransom Note & mail it, I could e-mail you the image, or - I could do both of course. ( I kept it as a screen saver. It always makes me laugh.)

The Tazo Chai is amazing! Thank you.

Hi- Just a note to let you know I mailed my letter to you today. You should have it soon :-) Kaye

KawaiiMommy on Sep 21, 2007:

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my letter; & I'm glad you didn't mind the last paragraph-I know it was an "opinions" letter, but some would have been offended by my viewpoint...I enjoyed writing it for you :)
