About Me

I am a cat crazy ex vet tech who misses her job bad. I took care of animals for 10 years and thought I would be at the clinic I worked at forever. I had to quit, it's a long story and I won't go there. Now my full time job is working in the claims department for Bank of America. This job just might kill me, it is so stressful, but the money's decent. I have to listen to people scream at me on the phone all day long if there's a charge on their credit card that they say they did not make. I haven't sold anything on ebay for a while now, I don't have much time.

My Interests

Reading, playing on computer, river rafting and spending time with my fiance Conley, taking care of my 2 cats Petey and Pepe, long-haired musicians, watching TV, especially old sitcoms. I didn't have cable growing up (my mother thinks MTV is the Devil's music) so everybody makes fun of me because I am lost in the 70's and 80's.

Gone But Not Forgotten

I can't believe it's been almost two years since Dimebag Darrell Abbott of Pantera and Damageplan was brutally murdered while he performed onstage.  He did not deserve that, and I hope he's in a ...
