My Idea of a Quick Project
I really thought it'd be a quick knit. I'm going to learn one day that there is no such thing.

About Me
- Name: Suzy Q
- Location: Mooresville, North Carolina, United States
I'm married (but separated) and a mother of two (a precocious 4 yr old and a forever teething 2 yr old.) I have an identical twin as well as a younger brother. I only have one parent living (dad died years ago). I love my family and interests passionately. The interesting part is that the more I view other people's profiles, the more it's evident I was born under a Gemini ascendant. (Pop astrology anyone?)
