I'm happily married with a 17-year-old & 12 year-old step-son, four ferrets (Jasmine, Lacey, Winnie, & Jack-Jack), two guinea pigs (Chirpa & Popeye, most recently an Old English Sheepdog named Miss Sally Isabella Peabody and eventually a one-hundred gallon aquarium full of salty fish friends! I have had CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue & Immune Dysfunction Syndrome) & FM (Fibromyalgia) for at least fifteen years now. Basically, I had mono back in '93 and my symptoms never went away, so it's like having mono twenty-four hours a day and I feel like I've had the hell beaten out of me by the UFC fighters and wrestlers that I so admire. But I'm a survivor, so I'm still here :) I am also a writer and have a novella published entitled, The Craving. It is on the topic of self-mutilation and is published under the name of Amy Ray-Hutchins. It's available on most online bookstores, so if you are interested in the topic or would like to support me, please buy a copy and write an online review! My dream is to move to Reno, Nevada with my family (I swear I didn't know Ken Shamrock--who I love and want to meet-- was coaching out of there when I made the decision; however, my husband doesn't believe me!). I am hoping the climate will be better for my health and they are supposed to be or already have built a CFIDS research facility there, where I'd gladly be a guinea pig (shut your ears boys!). I am very "cause-driven" as well, but try not to be judgemental. I also sell Tastefully Simple (quick, yummy foods!). If you would like to make a purchase or have any questions about Tastefully Simple, please feel free to contact me or go to my webpage on the Tastefully Simple website and order directly from there!

Your Most Overused Phrase On an instant messenger: Don't IM much--most people aren't awake when I am
Thoughts First Waking Up: It feels like I've only slept for an hour (I have non-restorative sleep, so it always feels that way no matter how much sleep I get!)
Your Best Physical Feature: Hmm, I stand erect. I don't know, maybe my eyes.
Your Bedtime: When I feel like it. Usually sometime before 7am. I'm a night owl.
Your Most Missed Memory: My Grandma; deceased pets; so many memories from my childhood that I find myself trying to "recreate."
Pepsi or Coke: Diet. Mainly Dr. Pepper though.
MacDonalds or Burger King: Been eating too much BK lately, so MacDonalds. Have to mix it up a little ;0
Single or Group Dates: Hmm...both. I just like being with people.
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Yuck, neither. Iced tea tastes like watered-down pop or "soda" to me.

Do you get Motion Sickness: Never used to, but do now. Was okay on Rollercoasters at King's Island, but the merry-go-round really got me, lol. I took lots of ginger while I was there though!
Do you think you are Attractive: Sometimes. It gives me comfort to know that for the right price in this day and age anyone can be "beautiful" on the outside, so I try to work on my inside and hope it makes me more outwardly attractive.
Are you a Health Freak: Hmm, since I'm sick I am defifinitely more aware of health stuff, but no, not as much as I should be.
Do you get along with your Parents: Yes.
Do you like Thunderstorms: Sometimes, but occasionally if it's REALLY storming, the thunder scares the hell out of me. I can't describe the feeling it gives me except that it chills me throughout and makes me thoroughly believe in evil.
Do you play an Instrument: Not well. I play a little electric guitar to fulfill my rock n roll fantasy, lol.
In the past month have you Drank Alcohol: No, alcohol supresses the immune system, which wouldn't be a great idea for me. Plus, I'm not really good with the whole idea of "moderation," so I never really got started.

Ever been Beaten up: Feels like I have every day
Ever Shoplifted: Nope
How do you want to Die: Heroically
What do you want to be when you Grow Up: So many things...dancer, actor, FBI profiler, writer, Advocate...
What country would you most like to Visit: Right now I'm pretty happy staying in the States, but think the Mediterranean looks beautiful as well as the pyramids in Egypt. Want to visit Reno, NV to make sure that we don't hate it before we move there.
