What do reasons have to do with tears?

About Me


I'm 48 yrs old. Was married only one time, divorced for the last 27 yrs. I live with a very large dog named Tupac. I have two daughters (both adults) and 2 granddaughters. I was born and raised in Arkansas, but did live in Springfield, VA during middle school in the early '70's. I've known most of my close friends for many years (some 20 yrs or more) I have a high IQ but only a high school education. I can still kick your butt at Scrabble, though. lol
I'm a bit of a news and political junkie. A dyed in the wool liberal Democrat. (I want Bill back!!) I read non-fiction (poetry, quotations, how to, biographies, etc.). I like to walk and workout, but have slacked up a bit lately. I do crossword puzzles, love attending classic/muscle car shows, like horseback riding, music concerts (all types of music: country to classical to crunk),& museums. I enjoy a good roadtrip and have been known to throw a bag together and hit the road in under 30 minutes but have never been on an airplane.
Because I was born on the 21st of the month, whether I'm Gemini or Cancer depends on which horoscope you happen to be reading. I find I have a lot of the traits of both signs, if you put much stock in that stuff.
I am very adventurous and spontaneous, therefore, I am also disorganized and always late. I'm a very upbeat/positive person. Oh, yeah, I'm a major flirt.
