- About me: * My dog is my best friend. I rarely leave home without him. * We love long dirt roads that lead nowhere. * I was a display/graphic artist for that once famous record store--poor, gone T. * I left art to get a degree to get a real job. * It took me 6 years, 2 major road trips and 1 amazing dog to get me to graduation. Amen. * I have a BA in American Literature--see the $$$ signs. * I taught in inner city schools for 4 years. (see Webster's: masochism, n . . . 2: a taste for suffering.) * I had a tiny, little melt down (see above career move). Bodily injury: 0; loss of dish settings: 6; mental stability: priceless. * I left teaching. * I took up dancing, to get out of the house--ballroom and Argentine tango. ♥ *I was the editor of a glossy magazine: California Geology. (I am not making this up.) * Now I write--sometimes--and, sometimes I get paid for it--sometimes. * Plus, I make art, wherever and however I can. Right now I'm into yarn and buttons. Baking and gardening. Oil pastels. Maybe I'll become a domestic goddess. ♥
