About Me

I wear many hats....MOM, student, WIFE, chauffeur, maid, geek, planner, organizer, chef, volunteer, sister, daughter, WOMAN, and hopefully one day, professor/author. I am neurotic, anal retentive, compulsive, and a tea-aholic. I love most foods, but the ones I don't love I find revolting...there IS no middle ground. My mind stays open, and I like it that way....no one is so perfect that they can eliminate whole classes of people for being different. My family is my life, everything I do, I do at least in part for them. Everything I do, I think of their needs/wants first. My passion is history. I can talk history for HOURS, my husband loves it AND it drives him nuts. I wholeheartedly believe the old saying that those fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. I clean when I'm angry. I make lists for everything. I collect coins and old paper money because I like to fantasize about what someone who held that coin 100 years ago was thinking and doing. I scrapbook so I can relive those precious moments with my family I can never have again once the moment has passed. I expect more from myself than I do from anyone else, and if it wasn't for my husband, I'd constantly punish myself for falling short of my own demands. I forgive, I love, I laugh, I encourage, I console, I cry, I yell, I hug, I kiss, I support and I try like mad to grow old gracefully while I do it. I don't believe in plastic surgery, starving oneself or doing anything but LIVING while you can, trying to learn something every day, and trying to leave the world a better place than you found it.

My Interests

[Glitterfy.com - *Glitter Maker*]

I'd like to meet:

I would love to have the opportunity to meet the people I study....Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Truman, Alice Paul, Teddy Roosevelt, Ben Franklin. I fantasize about meeting people who are debated and getting the truth from them (i.e., so Thomas Jefferson, are Sally Heming's children REALLY all yours?).

My Blog

so this is what old feels like?

This is a list. If you don't like it, oh well. This is how my thoughts work today, so deal, and love me anyway... 1. I am so over people 'defending' themselves against racism by being racist. 2. If yo...

Feeling breezy after the Big Easy

Aaaaahhhh....just returned from NOLA yesterday, and I cannot describe how wonderful it was to be home, even for a short visit. I was worried that the big "K" had totally destroyed the city in my memor...
