I am not one of those people that needs to constantly be doing something. I like to kickback, drink a little, eat a good meal, smoke a little and relax. I am grown, and got grown folk tendancies. I like to travel when I can and Vegas is my playground...visit at least twice a year. My friends and I have turned relaxing into an art form. I do like to dance and be out late at night on the town...my latest haunts are lounges. Ok, ok. I don't really hang out on the town all night anymore...those days are now over, but that's ok. I now love the time that I spend with my sons, my boyfriend, family and friends at home. I can't get enough of my house now (probably also has something to do with that mutha of a mortgage payment)! I am happily turning into a homebody. :-D
