: About Me

I am 40 years old, and divorced.
I have a fifteen year old son who is the light of my life, and a darling cat named Vinegar (my son named her, and boy! Does it suit her). I adopted a second kitty, her name is Janis, after my favorite singer (Janis Joplin) - my son picked her name, also! My brother recently moved in with me, and he brought a kitty with him, Puss! She's a big, fat cat who loves attention.

I love to read, write, draw, paint - just about anything creative. I recently had my first professional Art Show in Center City, Philadelphia. I love acting and theater as well and will go see almost any show, especially musicals. I getting ready to direct The Rocky Horror show at The Barnstormers Theater in Ridley Park, PA for the fourth year in a row! It's one of my favorite shows!

I just graduated with my Masters Degree in Education, and I'm very excited to get back into the teaching world.  Looking for a job now!

America is a very resilient country. Things happen to us, and they are tragic, sad, even catastrophic. But, we get over them. September 11, 2001 is a very sad, tragic, and catastrophic day. We should never forget it. We should never "get over it". And we should never forget. Every day of my life from that day on, I knew I would be afraid. Afraid every September 11th . Afraid every day there is still terrorism, and every day there is still war. I am afraid for me, my family, my friends - afraid for my son. It's frightening to know that things may only get worse from this point on. We're fac...
