I am here for Friends

About Me


mystical, sweet, sarcastic, funny, insightful, analytical, emotional, loyal, trustworthy, openminded, pencil geek, hearing lady, perpetual student, enthusiastic mother, wife, step-mom, sister, daughter, cousin, aunt, and friend!



My Interests



I also like ears and hearing. So much, in fact, that I decided to go to college three times, for a total of 12 academic years. (oh, great idea!!)

heh..I'll get there someday...

It's sometimes difficult explaining to children that I am in the 24th grade. However, I do know how to fix hearing aids, or get you one after you destroy your own hearing with loud music, lawnmowers, guns, jackhammers, or raising children. ..

I'd like to meet:



starry-eyed scholars and neophyte virtuosos

Music:

I really should wear earplugs to shows.......

Television:

has created a complacent and catatonic society

Books:

many

My Blog

Lucy has no front teeth!!!

I love these moments!!! ...
