Hi! My name is Sara. I’m a 29 year old (almost 30 – gasp!) stay at home mom to my nearly 5 year old son Bug and wife to my Darling Hubby for 7 years. We are currently expecting our second child, due sometime in May 2010. I live somewhere in the Great State of New York with 3 small dogs (Grace, Spiral and Max), my cat Cleo, and a tank full of fish. I’ve since learned that I’m a cat person…lol
I enjoy reading books while curled up under a warm blanket on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate or tea. My favorite types of books are romances and mystery, with the occasional sci-fi book thrown in the mix. I’m not a fan of paranormal romances, but did enjoy the Twilight books…I enjoy writing, doing crafts (crocheting and scrapbooking mostly, but occasionally knitting and quilting), cooking/baking (and eating), watching tv and movies and roleplaying (yes, as in Dungeons and Dragons). I most recentnly played a 7′5″, 350 lb minotaur barbarian in our Thursday night game. It’s a lot of fun.
I love Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh and have a large collection of stuffed animals, clothing and ceramic figurines. I haven’t collected many more items (aside from clothing) since Bug was born and I think this year I’m going to widdle down my collection to just a few pieces that I love.
A weird fact about me…I’m a numismatist (aka a coin collector) and have a small collection of coins from around the world, mostly gathered through friends in other countries or ones that I’ve come across that were accidentally in circulation as if they were US coins. My friend Suzy contributed to my collection with several Euros and Pense when I met up with her in Chicago, IL in 2006. 
I enjoy writing and have written a few articles for Associated Content. Click on the link to check out what I’ve written. I’d love to eventually write a book and have it published. I’m just not sure on the topic!
A little background info: I grew up in a rural backwater town and graduated from High School in June of 1998 (wow! It’s been 11 years already). I was a member of the National Honor Society. I played flute, alto saxophone and trumpet in band (concert, jazz, and marching) and spent most of my study hall time in Junior and Senior year volunteering in a special education classroom in the attached Elementary School. I attended The College of Saint Rose for Elementary Education where I worked at the Neil Hellman Library as a Student Assistant (aka work study student.) After experiencing actual classroom time, I found teaching wasn’t for me and took on a full time job as the Circulation Coordinator at the library. During my time at Saint Rose, I married my high school sweetheart in Howe Caverns on September 7, 2002. I continued to work at the library until my son, Bug, was born on January 30, 2005.
There you have it…me in a nut shell…
