Real Babies: Hell no (Well, he has grown ones; I just get to go straight to the fun grandma stuff).
Fur Babies: two Doxies, Saba and Bones; one half-feral cat, Jasper. Once I get familiar with posting, I'll attempt some pics. They are, of course, the most adorable puppies in the whole universe.
Loves: Well.......diving
Reading, travelling (yes, usually dive related). Oh, and wine. Lots of wine. I am a self admitted wino.

How You Came to Be On TK: I was my sister's maid of honor and made an account so I could look at pretty pictures for ideas for her wedding.
How I like my potatoes: baked, then made into mashed with piles of butter and sour cream. Bacon bits are nasty.
I was alerted to my poor manners in not introducing myself, so here I am:

Favorite book/author: Hmm....my copy of Steven King's The Stand is in tatters; Kathy Reich's Bones series; Carl Hiassen; anything by Sarah Addison Allen
Tell Us Something Interesting About Yourself: I'm 38 and actually never been engaged or married before. Yes, really. I grew up in Northern Virginia, but hightailed it for Florida the minute I was out of college and I've been here since. I prefer a hurricane to a tornado or snow storm any day of the week.

Saba, pronounced Say-buh, Bo(nes), and Jasper the cat:
Also, on an unrelated note, I've managed to change my avatar on my overall account, but still doesn't seem to update here. (I've tried to read the stickies up there, but so far I've only seen how-to's on signature pics....)
Thoughts?
