Things have changed some since I posted to the Baronetage 10 years ago! I'm 41 now. Still happily married to wonderful Dan. Still have beloved kitty Perdita, but sadly lost dear Barnum last year. :( He was such a love!

We also lost my brother to ALS a few years back. He was inspiring and very brave. I miss him.

These days the 2 beneficiaries of our shameless spoiling are our sons Matthew and Timothy. Matthew attends a local Christian/Classical school (my little renaissance gentleman in the making!). He's bright, handsome, mischievous and very active. Timothy was born with Down syndrome. He has lots of wonderful therapists who adore us and spend a pretty fair chunk of time here. He is adorable, sweet, unusually interested in the world around him, and very active. He's highly functional and lots of fun. It's different from what I expected in my life, but rich.

I left the church directory business to become a stay at home mom after Matthew was born. That decision has been justified 1000-fold since Timothy came along. :)

(Directly from my previous listing and still true: ) I first read Pride and Prejudice at age 11. It was a present from my oldest brother... (God bless the bookstore clerk who decided that a young man seeking a gift for a sister nearly 11 years his junior should give her such a lovely book!) The 1995 adaptation led me to RoP and then to Austen.com.

I also love Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey (hilarious).

I'm a big fan. In addition to all Austen, I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Trek (esp. Next Gen), and Lois & Clark the New Adventures of Superman.

I enjoy writing fan fiction when my schedule permits.

(back to the present) My muse has been fairly quiet in the past couple of years, but I have a feeling she'll be back! ;)
