About Me

To most of you, I'm Aunt OE, Yowee, Yoda or Laura Lea but to others I have also been called "double L," LL, L-squared, LuLu, OE Wan Kenobi. I am a person with many names but it doesn't confuse me. I answer to all of these and more. One of the reasons I set up pages like this is to stay in closer contact with nephew, niece, cousins and friend. They humor me by visiting my page, and I love them for it. Much of my time is spent hanging with my two "boys," Nikolai and Mr. Tumnus (my cats). They let me spend as much time as I want reading, watching tv, hanging out on the computer and hosting friends. They are gracious boys, and they have been with me nearly four years. Some of the best moments is hanging out with family or friends with food or a good cup of coffee. I was born in Indiana, raised in Ohio, finished school in Kentucky and currently reside in Arizona. One thing I would like to share is that turning 40 was much easier than 30. this layout is from whateverlife.com!
