About Me

I pride myself on my sense of humor. Without it, I surely wouldn't make it. I love to laugh so much that I have learned to laugh at myself and all the crazy situations I seem to get myself into. I love an adventure, travel and anything new. I love to create beautiful works of art wether it be poems, a beautiful face (I'm a makeup artist, among other things), a special dinner or something fierce to wear (I design jewelry and whatnots).I was raised old school so I find myself talking about "these kids today" as if I wear dentures or remembered the sound of Martin Luther King, Jr's voice. I'm responsible, hard-working and honest. My honesty gets me in trouble a lot, but I appreciate honesty from others, so I feel that people shouldn't expect me to sugarcoat.I don't find it necessary to change who I am in order to appear better to others. I don't diet, wear trendy fashions everyone else is wearing, buy things I can't afford, pose, act catty towards other women, buy expensive cars before buying a house, look down my nose at people, work-out everyday, wear fake hair, wear fake nails, get plastic surgery or anything plastic like that. (Don't get me wrong, I don't judge people who do these things, its just not for me.) I'm a real woman who stays true to herself and I'm proud of it! People will always find something else to say, but nothing they can say will take that away from me.I make mistakes. I don't have the perfect b0dy. I don't always have my hair and nails "did." I'm opinionated. I hate pink. But I've got HEART and bottom line, I'm REAL. Not just another plastic pin up page in cyberspace.
