I never thought I would be a homemaker, but with various medical issues I am blessed with, it hasn't really been an optional thing. I do get out to volunteer several times a week at a school helping do data entry for their library and then the rest of my weekdays are taken by appointments.

I live in Washington State, USA with a significant other, my dog, and a large collection of stuffed animals.

My superpower is cloaking my heart, and all that inspiration (tongue in cheek), in a thick, fluffy exterior!

I joined TOOLS because:
 I had mentioned another site and the Peer Support Counselor said this was a very good site for self-improvement. I didn't really believe her at first. I was already signed up with a mental health website and a weight loss/self improvement website.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 My dream job would be to be a librarian in a small library somewhere. I started a library for a support group I tried to launch, but the available resources outstripped membership and I didn't really get it off the ground.
My favorite wild animal is:
 The butterfly
Why (describe as much as possible):
 Because they are so beautiful and fragile. And they brighten any day just by flitting into it and back out again.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 My chi-poo (half chihuahua and half poodle)
Why:
 he is so loving and funny and smart and grumpy.. He is my little mascot!
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 This really crazy cake I saw.. a chocolate torte.. I saw as a child in a recipe book
Why:
 I always wanted to make it and see what it tasted like. It had a stack of really thin layers, like a couple of record albums stacked together in height. Had to be at least 20 layers. But it was way too difficult even for my mom to make. I'd like to see how crunchy or solid the layers are and what the filling tastes like.
Five people either dead or alive you would have at your fantasy dinner party::
 Mr. Rogers Charles Schulz Marla Cilley aka Flylady Sandra Felton Basil M. Pennington
Why:
 I just finished "The World According to Mister Rogers" and it was so interesting! It wasn't at all what I was expecting. And I got to listen to two of his award acceptance speeches. I grew up learning precepts from his "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" program and I feel like I got to learn a little more background. Charles Schulz - I've always admired him, especially after I learned that his early Peanuts work was semi-autobiographal.. Charlie Brown and Snoopy were based on his own feelings toward himself and his beagle. Marla Cilley and Sandra Felton are housekeeping gurus that are helping me learn to keep my house clean and organized for the first time in years. What I didn't learn growing up, I am finally getting a grip on as an adult. Basil M. Pennington I like his books and I wish he was still alive to write more. I have 40 meetings with Christ and Listen with Your Heart
If a pilot would fly you anywhere you want, you would go to:
 Maine, so Roger and I could vacation there. He's always been curious about Maine because that is where Hawkeye Pierce hails from in M*A*S*H. I like the idea of Maine because there are no poisonous snakes there.
My perfect slice of pizza is:
 Canadian Bacon, Black Olive, and Mushroom or Garlic Chicken Alfredo
You are at a bar. You order this drink:
 Virgin Strawberry Daquiri
You are at a coffee shop. What coffee or tea do you order:
 Black Orange Spice Tea sweetened with Splenda
If a genie could grant you three wishes they would be (separate by commas):
 A higher income, A nice marriage ceremony, A car with unlimited free gas
You are going on a long road trip and you can only bring three CD's. Which ones do you bring (separate by commas):
 Carolyn Arends, Susan Ashton, Michael W. Smith
If I could do anything for my neighborhood today, it would be:
 I'm actually going to a neighborhood watch meeting today to help start one up, so I guess that's what I'd do today ;).
A sunset I remember:
 how short but beautiful life is
Any character I could be from a movie, TV show or book would be:
 The martial artist Shu Lien (the platonic interest of monk Li Mu Bai) in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Why:
 She is strong and calm and practical. The opposite of the main character, who is rash and irresponsible.
