About Me
QUICK UPDATE:(June 2008-focusing on my current DS friends. If you ask me to be your friend, I will wait to see if/how often we connect and if we get to know each other a little first. I want quality and not quantity friendships.) MARRIED 8yrs to a wonderful husband/no kids. Work: in H.R. Have Fibromylagia. Dad passed away 2/10/08. He was 81. Dad's pics below. See older journal entries for more about him and fibro if interested. UPDATE: May 2008 - husband in vehicle accident. See photos of his truck and other car. (not his fault and no super bad injuries).
Interests
Scrapbooking, craigslist, Ebay, light gardening, garage sales. Birds, hummingbirds, feeding birds in backyard. Have two cute guinea pigs, Cocoa and Cedar. Used to love to exercise 5-6days a week, but the fibro changed that (for now). Will get back to it in some fashion. Learning about my health and what I can do to make myself better. Would love to volunteer, but not sure what yet.
