"A great person makes you feel great" - Mark Twain

About Me

I am a mother of 3, and I am devoted to my children. I love playing with the little ones and hanging out with my oldest. (Although he is not always interested in me these days! lol) I recently moved home to Houston after 20 years in the KC area. I am glad to be back and available to help my parents with whatever they need, and they also keep my little ones during the day for me! At the same time, though, I miss living in Kansas with all my heart. I wish things could be different, and I could have a summer home in Kansas and a winter home in Houston! lol I miss my friends terribly!!!!

My Interests

I love music, trivia, reading, working out and sports.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy networking with old friends from school or people I've lost touch with over the years. I'm also interested in finding and talking with women who either are struggling or have struggled with weight loss. I have had a lot of success with something called KINETIC BANDS from MYOSOURCE, and I would love to share the good news - you can succeed and be healthier, feel great and look great, too! It takes some work, but it is possible! Even if you do not struggle with wieght loss, this product will tighten, tone and firm your legs, butt and abs like nothing you have ever tried - I promise!!

Music:

I love all kinds of music! I'm a freak for it - I wish "Name That Tune" was still a game show because I would clean up! My favorite music is always alternative & metal, but I really do love all types! Depends on my mood for the day.

Movies:

I love all kinds of movies, but my favorites are scary movies. Not the blood and guts kind, but the suspenseful, scary, "gotcha" kind of scary.

Television:

I love How I met your Mother, Two & a Half Men, CSI (the original) and Ghost Hunters.

Books:

I read everything, but my favorite author is Janet Evanovich - I love the Stephanie Plum series.

Heroes:

I know it sounds cliche, but my hero is my mom. She is everything I want to be and I am so glad she is mine. I also admire my Grandma W. and wish fervently I could be half the woman she was, too.

I am a little under the weather, but I am a firm believer that continuing to work out when you are sick helps you get over it a lot faster. I went down to the gym with kleenex in hand! lol  Anywa...

Jackies Daily Kinetic Band Work Out Journal

It was another great work out today - a little tougher on myself because I had on 2 bands on the back and one on the front. I haven't done that in a while. I did all the KB exercises, plus the new one...
