Only those that need to define themselves are limiting themselves.

About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / If You Do...


Refrain from trying to define me. Refrain from trying to label me. It won't work--never has. I hang out with everyone from all walks of life. I love art, design, architecture, and music. If I could live in a coffee shop I would if only to meet new people. If I am not here or re-orgnizing/re-decorating my house, I am at the gym. The only thing I ask? Devotion, because life is good and only gonna get better. Smile.
I'm gonna get out of this "two-star town." I didn't know these towns existed until I moved here. Really, I am leaving. I don't even know why I am here, but I wanna make the most of it. I respect some of the farmers and hard-working people here, but man, I wish there was more and that this environment was half-way positive.
I do take my single motherhood seriously. They're awesomely wonderful kids who deserve my attention. They are more important than you--sorry! I do get annoyed with the anal retentive nature of women though--I do not fuss. I do not pack for rainy days. I teach my children to question everything with respect. It's hard to be that patient, and I hear that this is not the norm here.
Sure, my life isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. lol That's right...I am a work in progress. I am not done reaching my goals. :) And it's another beautiful day to live.

I love my bedroom.  I am in the process of enjoying my Asian-inspired bedroom where I believe I have strongly followed the rules of Feng Shui and design.  I am still not done yet.  But ...

White sheets and bacon-scented candles

So please, just excuse the green face, and if I have to leave for a moment, please just excuse the yacking in the background.  I think I might be suffering food poisoning of the awful kind, and I...

So I just know...

I have been so busy going through my stuff in my house, down-sizing for the eventual move, but it feels weird.  Today, my kids have gone through their stuff, and then soon it will be my turn. I d...

Small Glances and ????

I do not know what it is...Maybe it's spring. Maybe it's the chill in the air and the sun shining down on us. I do not know.  Everywhere I go, I am flirted with hardcore.  I am not bragging....
