What's Your Job?

[ ] Stay at home mom

[ ] Homeschool teacher

[ ] Presidential campaign associate

[ ] Air Force Reservist

[ ] Church small group pastor

[ ] Regional foodbank coordinator

[ ] Business owner/operator

[X] All of the above and more

I have my thumb in a lot of pies, but pies are yummy. Because every one job is a mental break from the last!

We live in beautiful Colorado, a love-hate relationship for me. I love my friends, church family, job, and the scenic views, but the climate just plain sucks. We could choose to stay here forever, or go where the Air Force sends us...tough choice, and thankfully I don't have to make it yet.

My Interests

You probably wouldn't know it if you never met me BC (before children), but I really like arts and crafts. I never really have enough time with the kids, since I am a perfectionist and like to take time to get motivated and into my work. Oh well, there's always retirement or Heaven; Either way, I'll draw again!

I also enjoy just hanging out with my family, when we're all together and not in a rush. It's awesome time! Much better than anything else I can think of...

I am also a very political person at heart. I can't really get behind "office politics," but once a candidate for a civil service position has won my heart I put my mind to supporting him.

I'd like to meet:


I am still a Bush supporter. Not much has changed for me since 2000. I'd love to meet him again - maybe after his term is up - and pick his brain. I have been on his side of the microscope (as a former intel person) and I'm totally fine with his job. Some choices are really hard to make, and I am glad I didn't have to make them, because I am sure I would not have done as well. Also, this shows it's important to have a sense of humor no matter who you are:
James Dobson
My Grandparents, who are deceased. I have a few questions...
My Father, who knows where he is?
God, some day
Maybe one day, I'll find some women to add to my list...But as a conservative woman, anyone who I would put here would likely not be know well enough by others for it to make a difference. No activist actresses or musicians. No 'models' or 'beauty' queens. No PETA paint-throwers or pro-choice hags who feel like you have to back abortion to protect your rights as a woman. Whatever. One day...

Music:

Whatever, as long as it doesn't need to be played on a crappy car sound system so that you can feel it instead of hearing it...that pretty much means the song sucks so bad, it doesn't matter - as long as it has bass. I'm not into that. If you're gonna write a song, you may as well make it good, right?

My Blog

Irate - I am apparently anti-anti-war

Code Pink and Moveon.org suck ass.  They can't demonstrate their position in an intellectual manner, but rather attack people they have chosen to oppose.  I couldn't say it more plainly, and...

Too bad...

It's just a crying shame that folks who are extremely self-absorbed don't just implode under the pressure of their own self-seeking attitudes and cease to exist.  We went up to Denver today, and ...

Hiking Waldo Canyon

Today, I decided to leave my wimpiness at home and go hiking with a few friends.  What a good decision that was!  Although I am incredibly tired, and I am sure I will be remarkably sore tomo...

What's been going on with us...

As usual, the past couple weeks have been crazy for us.  Andy has given us a run for our money since he showed up on this Earth.  Born a month early, but full-sized, he had peed on the nurse...

Had a little flashback...A brave insight to way back when...

I recently saw a special on tv (some history-type channel) about drug trafficking in Miami.  Funny what brings back childhood memories for some people.  And today, I saw a De Lorean on the r...

For my PC pacing partners/idea swappers

This is my "bookings board."  It is a 12"x12" sheet of cardstock (that I still need to either back with thicker posterboard or foamboard).  Each little pocket holds a tag, shown in the secon...

My take on abortion

You may not agree, nor do you have to, but I felt compelled to write this since I wouldn't call any of you true friends unless you knew this about me. Abortion is murder.  In ANY situation. ...

Pampered Chef - my business goals for the year, can you help?

Recently, during a meeting with my pacing partner, I decided to commit myself to taking a step in my business and making it more than just a twice-a-month thing.  Even though it is rewarding and ...
