About Me

Hello! I'm (53F), together with my SO (55M), raising our children together.

We have a very large family... I have 2 sons and 2 daughters, 4 bonus sons...only 1 is a minor. We have 1 granddaughter, who is currently residing with me, and another grandchild on the way! We often foster children in need, as well.

I work as an Occupancy Specialist for subsidized public housing, and I absolutely love my job!

Favorite Music

I love almost ALL music! It doesn't matter if it's top 40, 80's, 90's, rock, some rap, definitely country! The family is often just jamming in the kitchen, listening to whatever is playing on the Alexa. I have a spare Echo in my office to listen to, but it is often audiobooks or podcasts.

Favorite Crafts

I'm currently into diamond painting, but hardly ever finish a project. I also like to paint... although I am my own biggest critic.

I'm currently taking 1 easy design of a sunrise over a mountain and using that same template in many different craft medias. I have many various art and craft pieces that others have done for this project. pieces. If you would like to offer something for a swap or just because, please email me and I can send the template. tyedyechicken@gmail.com

I also love DIY and repurposed item, such as furniture. My latest project is an old console TV from the 70's - turned unto a dog bed.

Favorite Television

I don't watch much "tv", but I do like to binge-watch on Netflix. Current obsessions are re-watches of such classics such as Ozarks, Supernatural, Interview with the Vampire, and Tiger King.

Favorite Books

I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks lately, since I can listen while I work. Mostly thrillers, horror, or true crime, but I'll check out recommendations, so if you have a favorite that I simply must read, let me know!

One of my favorites was Island of the Sea Women by Lisa See that I read as part of a book club assignment. I really enjoyed it, although others did not. I listen on audiobook, which I believe was the difference.

I'm a big old-school Stephen King fan, as well as Dean Kootz, Anne Rice, but also, Sandra Brown, Laurell K Hamilton, Charlaine Harris, and Frieda McFadden.

other hobbies

I have been pen palling for over 30 years, and still talk to my very first pen pal.

I'm always grateful for extra friendship or deco books, slams, etc. I don't mind starters or homers, so if you need to unload any, feel free to send them my way. If you email me, I will send my addy. tyedyechicken@gmail.com

I rescue, rehabilitate and/or train, and then rehome Rottweilers and exotic animals. I have 4 Rottweilers, a yorkie,, and a Portuguese water dog, an Argentine black and white tegu, a sulcata tortoise, and a ball python.

I love houseplants! My houseplants total 17 at this time.

I run a true crime discussion group in my city. It's kind of like a book club, but we delve into true crime cases, then meet up to discuss cases, theories, evidence, trials, etc. Some of us are former or current law enforcement officers, 2 fiction authors, a few students, and others are just normal, everyday people.

I love cryptids! I love the "might be a real animal" type more than the " monsters"... I love Sasquatch, Nessie, Thunderbirds, etc. Fun fact: there probably isn't a Bigfoot movie that I haven't seen... literally!

Some favorites!

Some of my favorite things...

animals (typically any kind), but dogs, wolves, foxes, horses, reptiles, and bears

mountains

forests

USA state parks

countrysides

summertime

bright, sunny days

baking

ice cream

fruits

candles

vanilla

all colors (fave is emerald green, phtalo green, and buttercup yellow)

skies/flying

waterfalls

paper crafts

crystals

fossils

spooky/horror/ paranormal I love the classic movie monsters such as Dracula, and Frankenstein, werewolves, but also the 80's and 90's villains like Freddy, Jason, and Michael. I also have a soft spot for Sam from Trick 'r Treat. Anything Tim Burton is cool, too. Love ghosts, esp the cottagecore type. I prefer my Halloween to be scary, rather than cute.
