About me

I live and work in obscurity in a remote location in the Pacific Northwest. I have one husband, no wives, two daughters and one son. I would like to write more, but the circumstances of everyday life keep interrupting my focus with incessant need. However, my love is unconditional and my martyrdom guaranteed.

I like anything that makes me laugh. I also enjoy reading, writing and painting, but my tendency to procrastinate prevents me from completing things. I have many unfinished drawings, paintings, short stories and partially read books that I plan to get to tomorrow. I am an overwhelmed insomniac. Basically, I'm a work in progress with an underlying fear that I'm running out of time.

Other than that, I am pleased to serve Helium as the sub-channel manager of Humor. I look forward to exploring the funny side of life with other Helium members and many good laughs!
