About Me


I get myspace layouts at UltimateMySpace.com. Get this layout
Hmmm...about me....I have been putting this part off for awhile. I am the one that knows me best, yet it is hard for me to tell you about me. My name is Joy. I have a husband who spoils me and a handsome son that tests me! My husband and I own an advertising company that deals mostly in real estate advertisement. We work, eat and sleep together! Suprisingly, we manage quite well, except for the times we could strangle each other! Back to my son....he is 17 years old and as all parents know...17 year olds know everything. Actually he is a wonderful son and has brought joy and happiness to our lives. I am sure I will remember that after the teenage years are over. He is starting his senior year *sob*! It is so hard to believe! Well, round out the family with a cute little mutt named Mollie, who happens to be the best dog a person could have and that describes my household.
OH! This is supposed to be about me! Well, I love meeting new people. I love people and am a loyal friend. People seem to confide in me easily and I am good at keeping secrets. I am always honored that people trust me so easily and I never want to betray that trust. People interest me greatly. I love to know what makes them tick. I would love to go back to college and get a psychology degree. (An awfully expensive way to get to know people better.....lol)
I love life and like challenges and adventures. I am an artist wannabe.... I enjoy drawing, painting, writing. I dream of writing a novel one day, but have been too lazy (or scared) to start.
I hope to always remember that life is a journey, not a destination. (sounds original...yeah?) That I have to live for today and not worry about the future. Yes, I have dreams and hopes, but I want to enjoy today! Everyday! When I look back on my life, I want to know I enjoyed it to the fullest.
