About Me

if i were to describe myself- i would say i'm easy going most of the time and have the tendency to be bitchy only once a month. However, i will warn you when i am feeling bitchy so you know it's nothing personal. i don't say anything behind anyones back that i'm not willing to say to their face. i try to find the good in everyone and try very hard not to be judgemental. My friends will tell you that I am intelligent, independent, outgoing, successful, determined, attractive, sensual, spiritual & I have a nice rack :) - and obviously from that statement - i have a fabulous sense of humor....i hate flakiness, dishonesty, closed-mindedness...i love my friends- they are my family. I have family of my own (blood related) and i love them dearly but my friends (most of them) have been around for a very long time and stuck by be through thick and thin. You don't have to be blood related to have a strong bond.i've had both very tough times and very good times. they say everyone has some sort of baggage, yet i feel i have none. i am very blessed- i have a fabulous teenage daughter who is the love of my life and a pain in my butt all at once. She is a wonderful kid, yet she is a teenager so she has moments of teenage madness. But i am so very proud of her and of myself for raising such a fabulous child on my own. Smart, funny, outgoing- she's so much like me!i own my home and want for nothing- i'm neither rich or poor- simply comfortable. life is good and seems to get better with age.i love to travel, i love the summer (hate the winter unless i'm in the tropics)... if i can't be outside i'm NOT a happy camper.i asked my friends to describe me in one word and their responses included: genuine, mystical, feisty, fun, beautiful, strong, amazing, unique, cheerful, independent & eclectic..... and "DIVE-OFF-ANYTHING-ALICIOUS" lol! i guess that means i'm adventurous...
