My computer beat me at chess but I sure beat it at kickboxing!

About Me

Ohh, this is where you get a little preview of who I am. I'm kinda lazy right now so I'll write more later (yup, procrastination is one of my finer qualities). I love my boyfriend but he drives me crazy. He says I make him twitch. I used to beat him up when we were younger, he's come back for more. I must admit, I'm a little nicer now since he is taller than me. No but really, he means the world to me. Every woman has that one man who will always love and protect her, never abandon her. I lost that man, my father, this past year. It was hell. However, my boyfriend was able to pull me back up from that chasm left when all hope was gone. I'm almost whole again.Together, we've got the world's greatest kids.As for my friends, they're the best, hands down. To us, nothing's impossible. If the school of hard knocks handed out degrees, we'd all have PhD's. The best part is that we've helped each other through the bad and enjoyed the good. Our resilience, loyalty, and love is what binds us.

My Interests
