About Me

I now have the time and resources to devote my energies to reawakening my life long dreams. "When did my dreams become my fallback plan?" I don't know but that's over. ********************************************************** Not really looking but still open to finding "The One". Maybe I'll get lucky and just bump into her. Unless she's down that road I didn't take! Oh Crap!!! What if I already did and didn't recognize her?!?! Now that sounds like me. SLAINTE!!!!
