I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like complete sentences. I'm not here looking for a date. I coach cheerleading. I fix computers.I'm a mom...3 kids. They drive me nuts, that's their job. But they're cool...smart, funny, adorable. I can't imagine my world without them in it fighting with each other.I don't smoke. I shop too much. If I start talking, I don't shut up. No, really, I don't.I love sharks. Save the sharks. We can talk more about that later.I love to write...it's kind of like the talking thing but without the audio part.I step in puddles, jump in leaves. I sail. I love the ocean. Martha's Vineyard is my favorite place..it's where I feel like I'm home.I'm afraid of spiders, snakes, certain darks, clowns, chainsaws and Tom Cruise. If theres more you want to know, just ask.
