A true Aquarius is most ways, her life is pretty much a dull existence. Usually five out of the seven days of the week are spent working with the public, something she sometimes likes but most often detests. Getting paid to sleep and test mattresses is not option so she does what she must to pay her rent and other bills.

Books are a huge part of her life and her greatest passion. More than two thousand are in her ever expanding collection. You can find everything from language dictionaries and history to romance novels and art. books. You never know what book she has in her purse or how many, either.

Pursuits and interests vary and change. Some have been ongoing while other are cast aside for something newer and more interesting. Among the ones that have endured are reading, writing, history (Egyptian, mythology, mediveal, Tudor England, Scotland, Ireland, Regency, Victorian, American west and cowboys, immigrants to America, the last Imperial Family of Russia, the Romanovs); genealogy, the history and meaning of names, art, listening to music, watching movies and animals.

Topping the list of dislikes include Twilight, Justin Bieber; those cocky, snotty little teens and tweens who think they are the coolest thing; cleaning the bathroom, seafood, and small rat-like dogs.

Fabergé gold bangle bracelet made in St. Petersburg between 1899 and 1903. 

Not usually a bracelet fan but I would love to own this one! I love the design.

Children can be so cruel. That’s why we should kill them all ;)
