About Me

I work full time although I would prefer to be home with my girls. They are my pride and joy! In my free time I enjoy a good book on rainy days and a walk outside on sunny days - sometimes with a good book as well! I LOVE to cook! I haven't been doing so much lately between classes and work and the girls and homework, etc, but I am loving winter break - weeks and weeks of a homelife and cooking for my family. I currently take classes at the local JC at night, and I bellydance. My schedule is usually very full. But I will always try to pencil in my friends. Just check with my secretary and he'll see what he can do! LOLAnd I obviously suck at writing stuff like this, so when I have a bit of time to get on the ball with it, I will seriously update it and fill all this in. It will take a week to read all about me. Just what you wanted to do with your time!
