Message: <blockquote data-quote="CanadienneBacon" data-source="post: 1038040" data-attributes="member: 11146">Howdy.  I'm Wendy.  I'm 30.  I'm married to a US Navy servicemember.  We have a 2-year-old daughter and 11-month-old twin girls.  I'm a stay-at-home mum.  We currently live in Seoul, Korea, but we're moving to Hawaii in August.  We don't own a functioning vehicle right now, but we've ordered the grand daddy of gas-guzzlers for our arrival in Hawaii...a Ford Excursion...the front hood (bonnet, to those of you in GB) is taller than I am.  I was born in Canada of American parents, who are hippies even to this day.  I grew up in the American west, lived in British Columbia, Alberta, Colorado, Wyoming, New Orleans, California, Texas, and South Carolina.  I've attended university but have yet to graduate...just wasn't serious enough in my youth.  I'm currently taking classes from the University of Maryland and have a 4.0 in both Information Technology and Literature/Linguistics.  Go, me...proud of myself for finally getting it together in that department.  My goal is to finish up school, get that piece of paper, then continue to stay home with the children for a few years.  I would like to return to work in about six or seven years, but right now the children are my first priority.  It's important to us to do everything we can to help them grow up to be responsible, kind-hearted adults.  Staying home to raise them is a big part of that responsibility.  My husband is wonderful with the kids and a great guy to boot.Before our first child was born I was in the US Army, working as a Korean linguist and interrogator.  I didn't care for it, and was only too happy to leave the service when our first child was born.  Before the army, I chefed (is that one f or two?), which remarkably did not manage to spoil my continuing love of cooking.  I very recently wiggled my way into Bastion Press as a reviewer and am now happily ensconced with a review copy of Into the Green.  The material is very good and I'm very happy to have something interesting to do with my wee bit of spare time.   When I'm done making notes and writing up my review, I'll post a copy over at Mortality.   My other pasttimes include running 10Ks and marathons, reading, D&D, drinking coffee on the balcony, and cooking.  I'm primarily a 3.0 player, though I like looking over the 2nd editon material from time to time.  I'm hot-tempered and impatient but my passive aggressive streak often masks that quality, at least for a time.  I recently quit the WotC boards because I felt they were too flame-ish for my taste.  I like EnWorld because of its vastness and laid back attitude.  I'm a Mortality regular, that's my internet home away from home.  I'm a quiet person around others and find large groups intimidating, but I'm very interested in people and am also very kind and friendly.   I'm an only child, but my husband is from a large family and we are doing our best to add to his extended family.  We would like to have two more children.My favorite music is the blues, but I like the gamut.  Classic rock is also a favorite.  I haven't a favorite author.  The last book I read was Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, before that I read A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  I also read and enjoyed The Wheel of Time, but I could not get past page 90 of Crossroads of Twilight to save my life.  I'm hoping to finish reading Winesburg, Ohio on the plane when we move to Hawaii next month.</blockquote>
