I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a stay-at-home mom and a proud mother of two beautiful boys. In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing (poems, short stories, and LONG emails!), fishing, hiking, horseback riding, traveling, collecting antiques, entertaining friends, teaching my son the art of finding a bargain, or negotiating prices at garage sales. I love holding my new son as he sleeps, reading with my kids, sitting outside with my family under the stars, watching fire-flies, people watching, taking pictures, listening to relaxing music, bubble baths, candlelit dinners, s'mores, the smell of a good cigar, coffee, feather beds, Christmas morning, the smell of morning dew on the grass, watching the sun rise, slow dances, being sung to, laughing, massages, hearing the chime of a clock, watching the Travel Channel and HGTV's Generation Renovation, interior decorating, curling up on the couch with my family for movie night, daisies, stargazer lillies, gardenia's, the sound of rain, thunderstorms, Tennessee in the fall and I love the prescence of TRUE friends. Upon meeting me, I'm usually shy and very quiet. I tend to watch people before I approach them, which usually merits the judgement of me acting "stuck up" as my mom calls it! *l* Once I get to know someone by "watching them", I open up completely. I'm a bit naive, completely gullible and a big klutz. I'm the kind of girl that men love to talk to and most women hate. I don't have a lot of female friends because let's be honest....women are vindictive and i don't trust their motives. I am a once divorced woman who was lucky to find and marry the love of my life. I am a firm believer in the sayings "No one ever became a failure without their own consent" and "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." I am a former Marine which catches many off-guard. I've actually done bootcamp twice...thanks to the lovely rifle range....but I did it because I had to know if I could be one of the few, and the proud....the Marines!! *lol* (Now I sound like a recruiting advertisement!) I'm a sentimental girl who loves sappy love stories and who cries every time I hear the National Anthem. I have the most respect for those who have served in our military, however....I tend to hold Marines (past and present) to higher standards because what can I say.....they're the best!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. Are You Right or Left Brained?
Your EQ is 173
Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Seriously though, your whole "Don't Worry, Be Happy" philosophy is really what defines emotional intelligence.
You're warm, open, and very optimistic. You know how to act appropriately, even if you don't feel like it.

You are a good communicator, and you have little difficulty with personal relationships - even when you're dealing with difficult people.
In general, you are successful, capable, together person. You get what you want out of life. What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Knowing yourself and your perceptions.
