About Me

I have been with my husband Joe for 37 years....I have three daughters; Marcie (40), Jamie (30) and Kristi (28); and 8 grandchildren.Marcie has 5 children; Porscha (19), Alyssa (17), Michael (12), Katrina (11) and Breanna (6). My middle daughter Jamie (married to Mike) has 3 children; Joey (11) and Ashley (5) and Mikey born on 9/26/08. My younger daughter Kristi (28) is single and lives in downtown Chicago.I was born 60 years ago in Chicago, IL...at Augustana Hospital...by a female doctor...My family moved to the suburbs when I was 6 months old...my mom and dad finished the house...I remember them working on the house...planting the evergreens in the front yard...putting the ceiling in the living room, while I was taking a bath (age 4)...My parents divorced when I was 7 years old and both remarried within a year. I have two families. My dad's (he raised his 4 stepchildren) who lived in Chicago. And my mom's (Kathe, me and Eileen)in Villa Park and my stepfather who had a 3 year old son, Georgie. They had three children together, Michael, Patrick and Maureen. My father passed away this year on June 3 (my husband Joe's birthday)he was one week shy of 85. My mom will be 83 this year.Joe and I went out for 5 years before we were married...we had a camper van and a boat that we took traveling all over USA and Canada, camping....to Yellowstone National Park, through the Rockies in the United States and Canada, out east through Quebec, down through Niagra Falls, New York...we went boating every weekend in the Channel Lakes in Illinois...then we decided to settle down....My brother Michael was killed in an automobile accident when he was 18 years old (in 1976). This was the same year Joe & I were married.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I took a test to see what side of the brain I use and here are the results:You use both sides of the brain evenly.....That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation.When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over.While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker.The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.
