I'm as colorful as my profile.... ;)

About Me


For those who don't know me...My name is Jaime. I am 30 years old, originally from Louisiana now living in Texas for almost 7 years. I met my hubby, Bobby, .. back then on ICQ! We have now been married for almost 4 years. No kids, but we do have 4 supercute and superwacko cats!
Though I've been diagnosed with inattentive ADD, BPD and OCD tendencies and have had bouts with depression and anxiety, and could be quite the candidate for asperger's syndrome (which would actually explain away much of my "add/bpd/ocd"), I've seen major changes in me in the past few years and I thank my heavenly Father above for it all! God is SO good! I admit that I can be a hard person to understand on the outside, because I tend to be reserved until I feel comfortable around others. I'm highly observant, and I admit to thinking too much...but just be glad for everyone that I don't say everything I think! LOL And while I do have a hard time 'clicking' with others, I consider myself friendly and caring. But be warned, I can be quite the wierdo at times and admit that I am rather...unique! But I thank the Lord for making me the way I am and I praise him for taking me as far as he has! The potter is still working!!!
If you browse this page and also my groups on here, you'll learn a lot about me, my hobbies, my interests, etc.
If you want to be added to my yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, or MySpace IM, private message me here and I'll give you my ID to add.
