About Me

This is as random as it gets y'all... Born in Arkansas, and graduated in 1982 from Crossett High School (Go Eagles!). Went to college, had a baby, hid out in the Ozarks for a while, finally landing in Mississippi! Now I'm working as an RN, and I'm content...for now.I'm a Christian, I've been married for 19 years, with 5 children: Zachary, Adam, Aurora, Mary Margaret, baby Benjamin, and 2 granddaughters: Ayanna and Jahleah. My big sister is Cynthia, and I have twin brothers, Buck and Bob, whom I love very very much.. :) There's also Stanley... I was born a Southern Democrat, & you can read the first post in my blog to see exactly how I feel about the current administration, as I don't want to give them too much attention.Enough for now!

My Interests

Grandbabies! Ayanna had her first birthday on February 2nd, and Jahleah came to us on February 15th--both children of my oldest daughter Aurora, and I'm so proud of all three of them..Wow--my interests...I have to say that it's my family--there's no social life, no fun, no nothing without them--I'm into whatever my kids are into, pretty much! I like any and all sports, reading, Sudoku (nah, it ain't Kama Sutra!), and I like to spout off my (big mouth) opinions at www.Foolmoon.com (DixieNurse), and www.MissSportsTalk.com (SoccerMom). I'm a (rabid?) Democrat, and I like to stay involved in politics, and what's happening in this country since that freak Bush took over... There's more, but it'll keep...
