I am currently employed in the administrative field; a position I have loved most of my life. I have two adult children, a girl and a boy, who I raised alone since they were very young. Although my ex-husband and I divorced only four years after getting married, we remained friends until he was called to Heaven in February of 2007.

My mother is my best friend, yet has been suffering the wrath of the aftermath of cancer for over two years now. My finest moments are the weekends I get to spend with her.

I have two dogs, a rabbit and fish, and if I could get away with it, and had the means, I'd buy a farm and have dogs roaming freely all around me.

My dogs and kids fill my life; my passions begun the day they were born. I write when I want, when I feel, and all too often, I write what I shouldn't. I've always got wheels turning in my head; my hands, unfortunately not as quick as my mind.

I love meeting new people, as strangers can become friends we never knew were there. The world, and those that share it with me, provoke my feelings each and every day.

I would love a little column to share my thoughts, my reasonings and my beliefs.....if only, just only, there was a need for what I have to say. Someday, I hope it will happen.

Until then, you'll see me writing on....using Helium as my blackboard for life's challenges. It is here that I can say what I need too without being judged; at least not in the way the world tends to do.

I'm open to friendships - just drop me a note - I'm never too busy for new conversation.

:-)

My passion is ...

Searching for and kissing dogs with big snouts, my kids, my mom and surfing the web

I know too much about ...

Myspace.com, Dogs, animal abusers, and wasted time

My parents always told me ...

that I'd be musically inclined..and they turned out to be right - piano and flute are my hobbies

My childhood ambition ...

To be recognized for something special about me, and to help others who can't help themselves

My favorite memory ...

The birth of my kids, kissies from my puppies, swimming with my family at Half Moon lake

Why I write ...

...it's usually provoked by something I've experienced

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Court TV - an addiction I can't escape...

My first job ...

Keeping my bedroom clean (payless), then lying to my parents about where I was at night

My best moment ...

When I graduated from college with Honors

My inspiration ...

...society itself........and.........the world around me.....this crazy, funny world....

I learned when I was very young
Of North, South, East and West
I also learned that many males
Won't put me to the test

In fact, I do believe it's true
That females know the way
But end up with a guy behind a wheel
Who's gone astray

Could it just be an ego thing
That males seem to possess
To drive around so aimlessly
Without a second guess

They won't ask for directions
Even though they have no clue
Of how to get from A to B
And won't admit it's true

I've spent more time on winding roads
Or miles out of the way
And all because a guy behind the wheel
Got in the way
...
