Weather Forecast | Weather Maps | Weather Radar ..Hi, my name is Betsy and I am a quiz/surveyholic! I am totally hooked on personality quizzes and never pass one up...not sure what that says about me and I'm not sure I really want to know!Let's see...I'm married with three grown children and one precious grandchild. I also have a cranky old orange tabby cat and a new pup who is vying with the cat for rule of the roost. I was born in Minnesota and have lived in WI, KS, VT, and FL. We moved to North Carolina in 1985 and it truly felt like I had come home. It will take dynamite to get me to move...or the opportunity to live closer to my kids...ha!I am a laid back person with social anxiety and a healthy, or unhealthy as the case may be, dose of OCD. How's that for conflicted...hahaha.Deep down, I am the quintessential Libra with a good dollop of Virgo thrown in. Balance and harmony are vital to my wellbeing...however, a bit of delusional grandeur pops up every now and again. Basically, I am an old hippie with expensive taste.;-)
