About meI'm a spinster lady who has lived in the Puget sound area for 17 years. I'm on disability with rheumatoid arthritis and up until Feb. 24, 2009 I was also employed at Seattle Veterinary Specialists, which despite its name, is across the water in Kirkland. Yes, that's right, I was laid off on my birthday. So now I'm job-hunting again. My hobbies include cooking, baking, books, cats and mineral hot springs. I also volunteer for the curator of arachnids at the Burke Museum of Natural History. I also have started volunteering for the Friends of the Seattle Library book sale . I have four cats, two planned and two unplanned. My top cat is Maggie. I also have Malcolm, Proctor and Sally. I never used to be a cat lover and would not have pictured myself working in the veterinary industry, but life takes strange turns.

About my libraryI don't have a computer at home and rely on the library, internet cafes and work (off the clock, of course). I can check e-mail on my cell phone but it's not practical for visiting web sites. For that reason, a lot of my books aren't registered on librarything. Somewhat more are registered on bookcrossing.com, but some of those have been released once I've read them. I like contemporary fiction, true crime, memoirs and self-help to name a few. One thing I have a lot of is cookbooks but I never register them. But I'm happy to discuss them. People who have read a lot of Margaret Atwood will recognize both my librarything and bookcrossing screen names.
