About Me

I am a happy HOUSEWIFE, devoted MOTHER, and MUD PIE ENGINEER!I grew up in the South Bay- hopefully I will never have to leave. I've had many names during my life here: Karen, K.P., Blanch, Lefty, Karen Pigon, Karen Rennie... My favorites are Mrs. Duke Rennie and Christopher's Mom.I like playing the ONE song I know on the guitar, and doing the few tricks I know on a halfpipe. By the way, they are called rollerSKATES, not rollerBLADES!I made a few things to float around in cyber space as well, you can check them out at:http://members.tripod.com/~KPNESS/index.html
