: About Me

Writing about myself is like writing about an old shoe. It's rather boring. I'd much rather write about someone or somthing else. But here's the basics anyway. I am happily married, have a house full of cats and family, and love to read and write. When I'm not working I love to watch TV with my husband, read a great book, play scrabble on my computer or organize my house. (Although, you couldn't tell it by the appearance of my desk.)I'm also a homebody and don't like to travel but seem to end up doing a lot of it anyway. (My husband loves to travel.)

I've been writing on and off since I was in gradeschool and have enjoyed it so much. It's such a wonderful way to express yourself.

My passion is ...

God, writing and my hubby.

I know too much about ...

teaching preschoolers

My parents always told me ...

to stop making mountains out of molehills.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a writer.

My favorite memory ...

the sound of crows in a rainstorm during summer trips to my grandparents' house

Why I write ...

it's a compulsion.

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

whatever I'm in the mood for

My first job ...

babysitting.

My best moment ...

marrying my husband.

My inspiration ...

God, family, friends.

No one else understands My soul is in exile Dressed in desert sand Alone, afraid, lost With no understanding of life around me. No one else sees me My soul is in exile Standing in the emptiness Broken, blamed, barred From the eternity of life's simple pleasures. There is no one else.
