I'm Mik. Model, mother, moron. Future meta-magician. Former logic clinician.
My better half and I own Brainfood Bookstore in Longmont, Colorado. It is the only exclusively indie- and local-lit bookstore in the nation. We meet a lot of crazy folks.
Testimonial from a former roommate:
"Living with you was like living with a quiet little opinionated deer person who floated around like a ghost and said smart/nutso things and ate seaweed. "
I love Colorado. I love mountains. I love hiking. I read and write. I raise my children to the best of my ability. I have lupus and have defeated early-stage cancer twice, so I pretty much fully support the use of medical marijuana.

Me: Can I take a picture of your pretty dancer?

This morning, Sophie told me she couldn’t wash her armpits because “I don’t have any armpits! They’re gone!”
I just told her to finish her pizza and she said she can’t eat it because there are people living inside it.

These are the cake and cupcakes I made for my son’s fourth birthday :)
The only reason my three-year-olds are so good at chess is because no one ever told them they were too young to play chess. And if anyone ever did, my kids obviously didn’t listen.
I'm helping Sophie make a puppet and I'm cutting fringe on the scarf.
Sophie: Don't cut yourself!
Me: I won't.
Sophie: Because then you won't be here anymore.
Me: Oh sweetie, even if I get cut I'll still be here.
Sophie: If you die then you won't wake up any more.

Did I mention she’s 3?
my 3-year-old: "I'm sad."
his dad: "why?"
my 3-year-old: "Because I just ate a bunch of food."
John drinking home-brew with a lot of sediment: Man I almost had to chew that beer.
3-year-old Sophie: Man I almost had to chew my milk!
Me: And what is it called when you say something that isn't true?
Lyric: Backwash.
John: "Okay, kids, tonight Mommy and me might be a little crazy, because tonight is the night... tonight is the night they decide who our new President is."
3-year-old Lyric: "Me."
Sophie is a future photographer!
