Getting to know you... my first blog...

This is a spur of the moment inspiration, so I'm not actually prepared to post much to this blog yet. Thematically, I'm obviously playing up the Star Wars angle. I've begun work on my Jedi costume, which is the prototype for a series of custom deluxe Jedi costumes I plan to create and sell over the internet. This blog will become one of the places I advertise as I get some product ready to sell.

I'm a big Star Wars fan, as well as an avid reader. So one can expect to find book reviews, tidbits and links of other Star Wars cites, as well as personal updates for my family and friends. Pictures of the costumes, lightsabers, and other fun stuff, will be coming soon.

Aside from being an avid Star Wars nerd, I am interested in: hiking, camping, and the outdoors; live theatre and the arts; reading of many genres and creative writing; cooking, baking, sewing, and other domestic arts.

I'm getting pretty close to 30 years old, very happily married, and hoping for kids in the not too far distant future. I have 3 unique sisters, a father who introduced me to a love of Star Wars and all science fiction, and a mother and step father who each possess a tremendous amount of creativity and spirit. I'm also a proud aunt with 2 nephews, and a total of 3 nieces.

In keeping with always striving to be a Jedi Knight, I'm really into self improvement right now. I'm working this summer to become more healthy in body, spirit, and mind. I used to be very physically toned and I would like to regain some of that shape. I'm always reading something and studying a strange melange of subjects. At the moment, I'm brushing up and dusting off my old high school French, learning the differences between different trees, and thinking about tap dance. That would be fun right?
