Who is the Cosmic Babe?

Last updated May 8, 2007

Here's the short version: I'm a former Navy brat who lived in 5 states by the age of 9, and has moved a total of 35+ times in my life...so far (I swear, my mother is hiding the gypsy lineage from me). Currently I'm a 38-year-old mother of two daughters, whose first marriage ended in divorce (that went all the way to a hearing, so you know it was ugly), whose second marriage ended...well, let's just say I warned him--death before divorce!...and now isn't interested in braving a third strike. In no particular order, I'm a cat lover, a bit of a flirt, a Pagan, a voracious reader who worships Spider Robinson, a Warrior Mom, an unrepentant carnivore, a sensualist, a former SCAdian, and a Gemini with Leo rising (gee, 2 personalities that want all the attention!). I'm seriously in touch with my Inner Bitch, spank my Inner Child regularly, and have ruthlessly annihilated my Inner Doormat. I have five tattoos and two body piercings, and I used to dye my hair but now I like the silvery bits amidst my natural color. (It was purple once, which was fun, but I doubt I'll do it again.) My nickname used to be "TMI Girl"... and I still don't have any secrets (which could be used against me) but I'm not such an exhibitionist anymore. *grin*
