I have successfully bred veiled chameleons. They are surprisingly loveable.

I’ve wanted to adopt a child since I was 10 years old. I eventually got around to it. Highly recommended.

I’ve usually got two books going: one audio, one print

I recently got a FitBit. Watch out world!

I am chatty. Very, very chatty.

I don’t watch enough television.

I wanted to grow up and write a Nancy Drew mystery.

  1. I think I would rather see the past more clearly. I think if I could see the future I would spend all my time trying to change it and miss the present.
