About Me

I'm in love with my kids...I adore my husband..I am grateful and appreciative of my parents and family. I absolutely cherish my girlfriends, they keep me sane. My career keeps me empowered, my free weekends allow me to relax and unwind. I can talk to anyone, I'm pretty friendly and sociable. I'm loyal and honest. I forgive easily and expect that others are just as forgiving. I'm a good listener. The best memories of childhood were in junior high-Go Carmenita Cougars!! Loved hanging out at the library and mall, back then. Quality time to me is either cleaning the house or lounging on the couch with my kids and hubbie. I love hanging around people who can make me laugh!
