Well, where to start? I'm a 6 ft tall blonde base brat that's lived enough places outside of the USA to understand just how lucky and spoiled we are here. I love my husband, Dwayne. He is a much better person than I could ever hope to be. I love my family...even the ones that don't always love me. My tolerance has grown short for whiners and people who may be pretty on the outside, but hateful and ugly on the inside. Unfortunately, I now know one too many. I love my three Pretty Ponies, Beowulf, Wilhelmina Murray and Gracelyn Desdamona. They are really Great Pyrenees, but big enough to be ponies. I love the great outdoors and go camping and hiking as often as this west Texas heat will let me. I love all the trauma and the drama as far as careers go, but I'm currently taking a break from all that. All this and a damn good bottle of wine is Xannthippe in a nutshell. People always ask what Xannthippe means. Xanthippe was the wife of Socrates. And anyone who knows me will appreciate this...it also means "ill tempered woman". I just happened to find it while reading a dictionary one day.
