25 facts about me

I usually use this as the second post, to introduce myself to my reader

1 - mother of three amazing people and married to a guy who is weird, to say the least
2 - translator, but when I was 12 I wanted to be a writer
3 - I would love to have lived in the 40's or in Victorian England (England at any time would do)
4 - basically I wear black and white (but for the last twelve months I have tried to bring some color into my wardrobe)
5 - to compensate that, my home is full of colors
6 - I believe kids and pets have a lot to teach
7 - I can't live without a dog (nowadays, Morgana, Weimaranner, 6 years old), but I can't stand cats
8 - I love the Celts and Arthurian legend (as well as Tolkien and Middle Age, long before Hollywood)
9 -I got it when I was 8 and read and reread it MANY times... Shakespeare in comic book (Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest) - I wanted to have a child with a Shakesperean name (the youngest was almost Miranda as in the Tempest)
10 - I LOVE to cook (no special cuisine), but I am not good in baking cakes. But as I believe that life works on a compensation basis, I bake bread to die for
11 - I have a VERY bad temper (maybe because I have migraines), but I swear I am always trying to improve
