About me: I am a poet, or like to think I am. I craft honest imagery of interpersonal exchanges and haunting experiences, often pooling reflections of a struggle with identity and purpose. My very real style of writing shapes the raw beauty of love, loss and the pilgrimage of a confessional spirit. Poetic influences include: Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Billy Collins, Mary Oliver, and singer/songwriters Tori Amos and Ani DiFranco.
Who I'd like to meet: The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars... - Jack Kerouac

Thanks! Just a little one. We are going to Austin for a couple of days and then heading to San Antonio to meet up with the boys and have our little family vacation. We're celebrating our 5 year anniversary. Can't believe it's been that long since I've seen you NAKED!!! ;)
Get a room ready, we're headed NORTH to escape this freakin Hurricane. Just kidding, I wish! We're "bunkering down" next door at the in-law's house. Got all my cute shoes packed...now what else should I do??? Oh, finish my pina colada...I'll down one for you! :)
I stopped into the cellars, and you were gone! Ellen told me you left early. I had a glass of wine though and visited. Anyway, I hope to catch you next time dear.
Just thought I'd drop a line and say hello. Are you working at the cellars on Wednesday? Let me know, perhaps I'll drop by. Also, if you ever need to talk, I'm here. I don't know you all that well, but I have a sneaking suspicion that I would understand. In the meantime, take care dear. ox
Hello Miss "shit collector". (Sorry I had to make a funny out of your update.) SCHOOL HAS STARTED!!! Thank the Almighty God Above...I was about to lose my stinkin mind!

And we get to be structured the way I want to do things with my kids. I am so relieved! And you and your babies? How did they do?
