Bethany

I have CDO. It's like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, only in alphabetical order like it should be.

About Me

I have been married for 11 years to my best friend, Rob. We have 2 beautiful children, Luke (7) and Molly (5). I am living my dream as a stay at home mom. I was the Children's Librarian at the Alvin Library for 3 years and I loved the work and being in the library every day, but I love being home more. I spend most of my time with my family. We do almost everything together. I love books of all kinds. I read fiction, some non-fiction, magazines, newspapers, blogs. I read to my kids. I read at my son's school. I also watch a lot of television. I love to just sit back and let it entertain me. We watch a lot of movies and, on occasion, I actually make it to the movie theater. I play Texas Hold 'Em (though not as often as I'd like). I love to play board games like Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit. I enjoy the mountains and the beach, so please don't ask me to choose. Still have questions? Feel free to ask! I like meeting new people on MySpace, but I will no longer honor any friend requests unless I know you personally or unless you message me first. Make an effort!"There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it."
