Thought I would get started with a ditty or two about me~ For some of you may know me and some may not~ so here goes.

I love to read anything I can get my hands on. I very rarely watch television. I enjoy just about anything that keeps be busy~ I can't sit still! I thrive on adrenaline and am a thrill seeker, I wish to ski dive before I am to old and become afraid of heights, or leaving the house, or just to hump backed to support the parachute pack.

I can flip the coin and enjoy the sounds of a peaceful evening thunderstorm and a glass of wine. It's these times in my life that I find myself writing poetry, and practicing my craft. More on that topic at another time....

I would just about pimp the world for a quiet bubble bath!! My house is constantly full of children, family members and friends. I have a phobia of alone~ not that I don't wish for a moment of "me time"~ but I am fearful of alone..... might have something to do with the fact that I have never per say been alone.... who knows...

I have a passion for photography, I want in the worst way to take photography classes and pine for an old box camera that I have to stand behind some old black cloth and say poof... then hole up in a dark room and watch my creations emerge..... I think maybe in my past life I took pictures of the old west and wore some crazy giddy-up and never rode side saddle. :)~

I work every day striving to achieve the things in my life that are important to me and those efforts remind me that I am not perfect and that everything worth having and keeping takes effort, patients and compromise and a-lot of tolerance.

Speaking of tolerance I have ZERO tolerance for women who think it is attractive to come across as weak, uneducated, or just plain needy!!! Why on earth would anyone find those qualities becoming is beyond me. Furthermore it only makes those of us who pride ourselves on our ability to be strong, independent, self sufficient women look bad!!! I do not surround myself with these type of women and find when I am around said meeker women I become irritated and quickly make my excuse to leave.~ GRRRR~ See I even have a hard time thinking about them...

I am a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend and I am proud of who I have become and look forward to my many journeys to come.
