I'm a 46 year old female.
I live near St. Louis, MO.
My #1 hobby is IMPS (Internet Miniature Pinscher Service). This is a min pin rescue organization. I have 5 min pins right now. We rescue min pins and place them in foster homes until we can find them a "forever" home. We take care of any veterinary needs they may have and most importantly give them lots of TLC.
I enjoy bird watching. Completely amateur. I have many feeders and a blue bird box. I love to watch the blue birds and gold finches that frequent our yard. I have many ongoing "home improvement" projects. I love to work in the yard, planting and taking care of my flowers.
I like working with wood and leather, again amateur, but I have fun. I have an oversize 2 car garage in addition to my attached garage. I use it for a shop to work with my projects.
I have two sons, ages 25 and 23. My oldest just moved back in with us.
I'm a lesbian in a long-term committed relationship.
I have a good job in integrated supply/vendor managed inventory for industrial distribution.
I'm a very happy person!

What a coincidence! Earlier this evening, my sons, who are both in their 20's, were urging me to go to the theater with them to see "Boonedock Saints II: All Saints Day." The first "Boonedock Saints" movie is one of my all-time favorites. I and my sons exchanged text messages for a good half hour, with them pointing out all the reasons I should go with them to the theater instead of waiting for the movie to come out on DVD. After I insist that I don't want to go, my sons begin hailing the attributes of the theater-the big screen, the surround sound, running into friends there, and other th...
