Courtesy of MsTags.com~~~~Here's just a little about Eloise aka 'Lady The Concrete Rose'... I am a very Strong, kind, likable, funloving, no nonsense woman with a very strong will and strong mind !! I am a strong believer in trusting your gut & instints ! They usually hit the nail on the head everytime.. I stand firm until (if) I am proven otherwise, but never too big to admit when i am wrong !! Some may even characterize that as being just a bit stubborn.. What can I say I am an ARIES.. I was born and raised in Virginia, one of the most beautiful states in the U.S., from the white sandy beaches, to the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, and neverending scenic trees and rolling hills.., I come from a very large family of 13, me being number 10!! I am a graduate of LAFAYETTE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE BEST DAMN CLASS EVER '86 that's right !! I have 5 children ~~ YES-5 !! Pretty much raising them on my own(with Loving help from my Siblings and Mother of course), and I am PROUD to say that I DID A DAMNED GOOD JOB...EXCEPTIONAL considering most statistics...My oldest are twin girls LE'VONNE AND PARIS (20) both are high school graduates, PARIS is enrolled in college, and Le'Vonne is gainfully employed and finding herself right now (LOL)...PIERRE (18) is my oldest son, he is a GRADUATE of JAMESTOWN HIGH SCHOOL, very smart, exceptionally handsome, AND an Outstanding Basketball Player ! At 6'6 he was recruited by some of the best schools across the U.S., Eventually committing to Mt. Saint Mary's University in Emittsburg Maryland after receiving a full scholarship !! His College Career started July 02, 2007 and you know I'm PROUD.. My youngest son JOSHUA is (16) and a Junior at NORTH ATLANTA HIGH SCHOOL, he is smart and extemely handsome as well, but Josh is a whole different ball game for me, and presents an extremely different challenge for me than any of his siblings, but I will conquer that PLEASE BELIEVE THAT!! I would best describe Josh as an I can do my own thinkin' all of the time, but I'm gonna see if your way works also type of kid....Last but not least is my youngest daughter JAILYN pronounced Jai-lyn not Jail-yn (LOL). Without a doubt SHE IS THE APPLE OF MY EYE, MY LITTLE PRINCESS, MY APPLE SCRAPPLE, THE BEST LITTLE FRIEND I WILL EVER HAVE, and get this- she is only SIX !! Jailyn is an addictive ball of energy that just grows and grows..I JUST LOVE HER !! They are the reason that I fight each and every day in this UNPREDICTABLE, UNFORGIVING, CUTTHROAT, DOG EAT DOG world! They are my Daily Dose of INSPIRATION and MOTIVATION..to strive for the greater things life has to offer, and to be the greatest person that I can be.I have strong beliefs in 'KARMA'- that being 'what you put out is what you get in return', Positives and Negatives ! I also believe that your kids will eventually mirror what they see of you positives and negatives.. I am striving for greatness..and although that road most definitely had bumps and potholes along the way it will eventually be paved with finer, materials for better and greater mobility.. I am not a flashy materialistic person, but i am a person of substance and quality ! I also have a few musts : (1) I must get my weekly dose of hair salon visits no compromises :) (2) I must wear comfortable shoes ~ ( Stilletto's on special occasions only 4 this chick LOL ) (3) Gotta have my earrings on...I just feel so naked without them !! I am not really into the things of yesteryear such as CLUBHOPPIN, MALLS ( CLUB LENOX IS SO LAME..you will definitely understand if you live in or are familiar with Atlanta !! ), but... Make no mistake by no means am I boring.. I will get the place hoppin' and poppin' on occasion and take it back to my clubbin' days, please believe it :), usually reserving that for special occasions like B'days and out of town family and friends, or our girls nite out...I love reading anything just as long as it is interesting and of substance!! I love the Farmers market~~it's soooo much fun..I LOVE THE BEACH,( NUMBER 1 reason not to live in Atlanta !). I also love just hopping into a car with no plans or destination & wherever we end up is okay :) I looove seafood~ Fish, shrimp, oysters, scallops !! STEAMED BLUE CRABS,and MARYLAND CRABCAKES are my favorites...I prefer eating at home "FAMILY STYLE" as quoted by G. GARVIN ( I LOVE HIM ), but dining out is nice also ! I love trying and discovering new things such as new movies,& books, to also include food and drink, ( winetasting, doing shots and BEER Guiness and Newcastle are a couple of my favorites !!).. I hope this was informative as well as fun for you to read.. You may view my family and I on my slideshows and pictures, so stop by to say hi or just to tell me what you think... This is me PEACE AND LOVE ELOISE aka 'Lady The Concrete Rose'
