I don't even know where to start!

I am married to my high school sweetheart and the mother of two adrable little boys (10-02 and 11-05). I have a degree in interior architecture and I am an interior designer in an educational (PK-12) architecture/design firm. In my free time (ha ha) I love to scrapbook, knit and/or read.
****************************************************************************

Books listed as 'Released in Wild' on my bookshelf truly are released in the wild. I do NOT list my controlled releases in this manner.

As of 04/12/05, 3 out of 33 'Wild' books have been found. YEA!!!
That's 9.09% for you mathematicians!

I run two reading groups on yahoo, one for moms and one that anyone can join. I invite you all to come join one or both. Please, only mommies join the moms group. Following is info about each of them...

UPDATED May 17, 2005

I have decided to start a list of Bookcrossers who are not welcome to participate in my bookrings until they send on the books that they are currently holding of mine. I am tired of being screwed out of books and I don't believe that the other participants should have to suffer either.
