: About Me

I am a 36 year old married mother of 3 great kids(12, 7 & 2). I am planning to home school my two oldest children next school year which is kind of exciting (for me at least). I was born in New Orleans, LA and grew up in Kenner, LA (metro NO). I have two step-daughters and 4 step-grandchildren. I have a problem using parentheses too much to get my point across. Especially, when talking about myself (sorry!)

I became interested in writing when as a young girl when my grandmother and I would sit and write poems. I hate to admit but I have always been insecure on my ability to write effectively.

My passion is ...

writing, poetry, drawing

I know too much about ...

Led Zeppelin (it really isn't healthy)

My parents always told me ...

TURN THE MUSIC DOWN!

My childhood ambition ...

probably a teacher

My favorite memory ...

We used to take rides out by the lakefront with the windows down and the music UP!

Why I write ...

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

My first job ...

po-boy place. It sucked.

My best moment ...

geez....do I get just one?

My inspiration ...

my kids (and that dam little dachshund we have).

One such cat, Hearns, was the master of his domain. Even though at the same time we had two dogs he had buffaloed both of them into cleaning him and even when they were given human food Hearns would be the first to eat. I guess what I'm getting at is that Hearns taught me that if you think of yourself highly everyone else will more than likely follow suit. Hearns also believed that he should have dibs on whatever you wer...
