I'm me - that's all I am and whether or not that is a good/bad thing is something left to each person who meets me. I don't think I'm bad - a little lackadaisical mebbe but not bad. :) I know a lot of things, sometimes I'm funny and sometimes I'm downright quirky. I am a good friend and a good mom - in my world, there's nothing wrong in being good. I do interesting things in my spare time (well, sometimes I do) and I believe in magic.
