*grins* Thanks! Hmm, I probably should have come here first, but my tendency is to lurk for awhile, then just dive in. Anyway, belated intro: Hi there, I'm Lara, aka the artful_dodger, aka MsRetro (on many other forums, but not here). I have two daughters: Allie, 7 and Jenna, 5. I've lived in Florida for about ten years. I'm back in school finishing a degree in journalism. I'm also a freelance writer, eBay seller, stage-hand (well, hopefully... there's a gig on Sunday that I may be able to get in on) and occasional art model. Basically, I'll take most work that isn't a job. For fun, I write, crochet, sew, and do other crafty stuff. I'm pretty politically and socially active, mostly through work with my local IndyMedia. So, hi and thanks for the welcome!
Bless you sistah for the Greeting. I was born out of this forum just yesterday, and I am a happiest fetus in all this place. Much <333333
