I am currently a stay at home mom from Chicago area. I am wearing a balloon on my head because youngest daughter wants to build a piñata. Older son wants me to read a book, and mac & cheese is cooking on the stove. Life is good. I love to read (when I'm not being distracted by munchkins), I mod a steampunk rpg on Ravelry, and I met Aoibhe (sp?) through the Star trek rpg board that we both belong to, also on Ravelry. (which is currently verrrry slow) She and another member invited me here, and I love it so far. My age? A lady never gives her proper age.. Old enough to know better, mostly.

What else? I knit, I sew costumes, I do rpgs with my hubby and friends on saturday nights (mainly d&d), and I love history and reenacting. I volunteer with the local historical society as a docent, sometimes in costume - I will be a costumed guide at our cemetery walk coming up in september. Our whole family likes to watch re-runs of Star Trek on Hulu. Currently we're going through TNG. Oh, and we have a crazy whippet named Zephyr who also loves to curl up and watch Trek with us.
