Let's see.... I'm 35 and a VERY boring person. 
For those who REALLY care, you can read ahead, otherwise you'll just want to go to the next message.
I'll be 36 in November. This June is my 3rd wedding anniversary. This summer my husband's children will be visiting with us, as they do every summer, but his 13 year old daughter will not be returning to live with her mother. She has opted to live with us instead, so she will be starting high school here in Arizona instead of in Oregon. So I am going to be a full time mother starting in about 3 weeks!
My husband and I are both high school teachers. We met while teaching at a private high school in Georgia. We decided to move to Arizona and brave the public education system. We've been working on our certification (as neither of us were certified teachers) since we arrived here, and when we finish our current online courses we'll be fully certified teachers... me in Math, and hubby in both math and biology. At the moment I'm writing a textbook to address a strategy to help Arizona students pass the standardized math tests. When it is completed it will be approximately 800 pages long. By the end of the summer the final draft of the book will be finished.
Shortly after we moved to Arizona a snake crawled into my classroom. Just a little ground snake. This reminded me of the snake my brother had when we were children. I'm still not sure what kind of snake it was, though I think it was either a pine or a gopher snake. Poor snake wasn't kept perfectly. We fed it one adult mouse once a month, kept it in a small hexagonal fishtank, no extra heat, no hides that I can recall. It kept escaping and we would find it in our dresser drawers. This latent memory was triggered by teh little ground snake that crawled into my classroom and I discovered kingsnake when I was trying to figure out what kind of snake it was. It wasn't long before I purchased a snake. Then a few more ... then a tidal wave of snakes. Then I started raising mice and rats to feed the snakes. NOW I'm thoroughly addicted.
The snakes I have now:
Cornsnakes:
Hermes '02 Striped Normal male
Aphrodite '02 female Normal (Hypo?) het motley (10 eggs this year)
Athena '02 Anery Striped female (6 eggs)
Calypso Reverse Okeetee female (20 eggs)
Zeus '03 Snow Motley male
Hera '03 Anery female
Cassandra '03 Ghost female
(Expecting TWO corns that should have arrived today, but the person who sent them did not realize that USPS was a no-no so I am not too certain they will arrive alive if they arrive tomorrow, and if they don't arrive tomorrow, I doubt they will be alive after that)
Other Colubrids
Bishop '01 male cal king, high white and papa to the two cal king clutches I have incubating now.
Jester '01 male cal king, aberrant banded and sibling to Bishop.
Queenie Newport strain '01 cal king, "dot dash" light yellow and dark brown/black... just had 12 immense eggs, with 10 still viable.
Licorice Normal banded cal king, unknown age... just had 15 immense eggs!
Tigris '02 female cal king aberrant banded banana
Euphrates '02 female cal king aberrant striped banana
Hercules, Samson, Delilah, and Xena all '03 Florida Kings
Augustus or Augusta unsexed Desert King
Pandora '01 Apalachicola King
Yertyl '03 Apalachicola King (daughter of Pandora
Bengal '03 Jurassic Milk (male)
Red Buttons WC Red Coachwhip being rehabilitated (lost about 6 inches of his tail)
Egypt '02 Male Egyptian Rat
And Pythons:
Dreamer '02 Female Jungle Carpet Python
Lucille Female Ball Python (huge)
Harold and Maude '03 CB Ball Pythons
Mrs. Sippy and Siberia WC Balls
So that's me. Other than snakes I'm interested in the genetics of mice and rats... I love to paint centaurs and other mythical critters on my computer and write fantasy fiction in addition to my non-fiction literary endeavours.
Bored yet? Well if you're not, I'm sorry, don't have much else to add. Thanks for reading this far.
