Hi, my name is 29thDay. I'm just your typical middle-aged mom and homemaker with a bit of an edge. I'm obsessed with zombies, I read/watch anything zombie, and I'm always thinking about, planning for what I would do on z-day!

I believe in hard work, intelligence, a get-it-done attitude, personal responsibility. Those traits, and how someone takes care of their own family, I do judge people on. Otherwise, no judgment. Also important--kindness, generosity, personal freedom, the higher traits of humanity we have no reason to exhibit right now. Except when extreme crisis is at hand, then I'm all business. Things I hate: the status quo, sloth, waste, being nasty or argumentative as a sport, whininess, useless negativity, living in fear.

I'm girly a lot of the time, but I am not a completely helpless female. I think men and women can both do a lot more than they think genderwise. But I'm a realist about respecting the differences. I like being a gurl but I take care of myself and try to be self-reliant and useful. I'm an Irish ass-kicker when necessary, an old fashioned Yankee at heart, not afraid to get dirty. But mostly I'm a mom, caring for my kids.

I'm always doing something or learning how to do something. My goal is self-reliance and educating myself on survivalism. Of particular interest, long term food production (root cellars, etc.), water, field style medical care. 90% techno savvy, worked in hi-tech 10+years. Medically savvy, am a licensed nurse. But for all my interest in survivalism, I'm soooo not prepared. I don't even think I have a gallon of water or soup can stored in my basement that I don't raid whenever the groceries run low. But that's my fall project, gearing up my "shelter", being ready in the background, committing to it.

Other stuff: movies, reading, music, beach/swim/surf a lot, live near the coast. I'm also a "typical" homemaker that cooks, cleans, drives and decorates, and I don't apologize for it. The one thing I do that is all about me is writing a zombie book, very slowly and from a much different perspective than most out there, a female one (written by a female). And if it keeps kicking my ass, it's going to be a screen play instead.

Everyone thinks it's weird that I'm a soccer mom that is interested in zombies/infected, extreme survivalism. Oh, who cares, I'll probably be stepping over many dead yuppy bodies if Z-day ever comes, or maybe driving over them in my minivan! Just kidding. I don't glorify death, gore and violence, but I don't want to be a helpless victim of it either, so I'm getting ready for Z. There is something very cool about being brave enough to live, persevere and maintain a piece of humanity in a world gone off.
