I was born in Oneida Tennessee I went to several primary and high schools in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida...ended up graduating where I started from in good old Oneida Tennessee. I live in Ridgeway SC nos. I am 35 years old. Ouch! I have been married to David 15 years. I have three children, Taren, Davin, and Ethan. I am originally from Tennessee, moved back and forth from Ky to Tn for years, fla, back to Tn then again lived in Florida for a long time, moved back to Tennessee for a few years, and now live in South Carolina. I am co-owner of a gift shop in Ridgeway S.C. called Always and Forever Treasures and we have an online store www.aftgifts.com.....I watch movies and T.V., and don't ever go anywhere or do anything else. Just for the record I have a diploma for bookkeeping from Oneida Vocational Technical school in Oneida TN that won't show in the search to add schools on this myspace page and the colleges or beauty school don't come up either...so, I attended Orlando College accounting major had a 4.0 and received the academic acheivement award in 1991..I also attended the University of Phoenix campus in Fla where I once again acheived the 4.0 and maintained it throughout my time there...but I didn't receive a degree in accounting and become a cpa like I always said I would. I did not get my business degree the second time around and pitifully I decided to go to beauty school somewhere in between the two...got over 600 hours there and quit that too....I have not ever found anything I wanted to do for very long and don't seem to finish much of anything that I start no matter how good I am at it. I have never tried to do anything in my life I couldn't do but find I don't really want to do anything. We are closing our store in Ridgeway but keeping our internet site open we offer over 3000 items at wholesale prices but we're not getting much support when it comes to the website...we were hoping it would put the kids thru college and it actually is something I like to do....who knows where that will go...give us a look see and show some support for this family project....my mommma (Karen Machol) really does all the work...she's just great even if I forget to tell her! www.aftgifts.com or www.alwaysandforevertreasures.com

My Interests

quiet time, quiet time, and oh, more quiet time!!!!

I'd like to meet:

nobody in particular I'm hard to impress and don't really like any people most of the time...I like to meet people I guess it is that I don't really meet many people that I want to get to know after I do meet them. I am not impressed by famous people I just don't get excited, I don't know??? I met Payton Manning and talked to him about school I met Larry Byrd but didn't have anything to say and didn't ask for an autograph, just said thanks for coming, nice to meet you...I've been to the capital, met important people senators( I have been an "honorary" staff member for senator Annabell O'brian when I was 10.),My grandpa was friends with Howard Baker and we used to have breakfast with him before he took me to school. His daughter Sissy had me giving out campaign stickers for her when she was running for some kind of office, I don't remember, I have met governors, presidential candidates and so on, when I worked at Disney I met a lot of people I guess I should have gotten excited over, I just don't. That doesn't mean that I am not glad I met them I am just not going to trip over myself to meet someone though...I guess that the one person I crush on that I DON'T ever want to meet is Cris Angel because I might make a liar out of myself about everything I just said...I get shivers just looking at the man and I might acutally pass out if I saw him in person...boy wouldn't that just make me the biggest liar over what I just said...anyway, anyone that knows me knows not to pay any attention to me....tomorrow I'll not even know I typed this and I'll have 150 people I would like to meet and I will like people again...that's why they make medication!!!!

Music:

interests vary....just about anything but rap...I can go from Don Williams to ICP...very wide range when it comes to my interest in music, doesn't make much sense really, I just enjoy a lot of different types, it all depends on mood I guess.

Movies:

comedy for sure if it is sad at all I cry all night like it really happened or something...if it is scary I am jumpy for days and scream during the movie....so it is easier for me and everyone around me if it is a nice little romantic comedy...how about...pretty woman...shawn of the dead...the princess bride, Can't really think right now it is too late at night or early in the morning I'll finish this one later..Can't forget Harry Potter though!

Television:

my name is earl just rocks!, bones, house, the riches, american idol, the closer, the unit, psych, monk, pain killer jane, are you smarter than a fifth grader(no)_I have a lot of shows...bbca's coupling just kills me...the black hadder or adder I don't remember...the thin blue line is one of the best shows ever for high brow bitingly sarcastic humor in my opinion, but I haven't found a channel that shows them since I moved from Fla...they are not on bbca....just love britsh comedies...Hugh Laurie is awesome even with an american accent.

Books:

historical romance, time travel romance...I love Steven King and many others but I just can't read the books I wait for the movies...like Harry Potter just can't read it absolutely love the movies.

Heroes:

my daughter Taren is one of my heroes, so far she is just exactly who she wants to be and it's more than I ever really accomplished she amazes me on a daily basis...the boys aren't at that age yet we'll see what happens there. My husband is one of my heroes...Yeah, he makes me mad sometimes and has his faults but mine are worse than his and he puts up with me. He works his tail off I am really proud of him For the last year he has had a lot of 80 and more weeks, then he has to put up with our drama when he comes home, helping two kids with school work and helping with laundry etc. the 3 year old on his hip..he has turned out to be a real hero to me, he is trying hard to build a life for us from scratch again I guess.

Family

I have literally had my heart broken by members of my family of late. I was brought up to believe that if you don't have family you have nothing in life worth having. I have always maintai...

15 years

This month is my 15th wedding anniversary!! To the surprise of many, yes, I know, we haven't killed each other yet. The key to a long marriage is never being able to afford life insurance!
