Mom, wife, gardner, gourmet cook, flight attendant, sailor. I like to fix things and make things on my own. When I was 22, I was asking male friends to come and put up some plank shelves into a stone wall in my apartment. I got frustrated that I had to ask for help, so I went to the hardware store and found a little old man behind the tool desk. I said "Sell me everything I need so I don't need to ask a man to do it for me." He looked surprised at me in my heels with an empty shopping cart! Voila, my first power drill and tool set.
