About Me


Who am I? I have been a candy maker, a photographer's assistant, ATV salesperson, title clerk, secretary, go-fer, newsletter editor, bookkeeper (several times & places), tax preparer, and a youth minister. For years I typically had 2 or 3 jobs. I liked the creative jobs.
I wrote eBooks, hoping they would create income, but no one would pay me.
It looks like I am back to having 2 or 3 jobs. Right now I am a tax preparer. Full time during the season, part time after (actually more of a secretary). They want a bookkeeper, but I hate bookkeeping. I also work part time for Mexican Restaurant as assistant.
Over 3 years ago I met a man who changed my life. We kept "running into each other" and doing things together then we realized we were dating. He is the love of my life, an awesome cook, and he taught me how to fish! While he has learned about comic book movies
