... mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear ...

About Me

Wife of one Ü ... Mother of three - Brent 25 and Mikey 24, and Breana 21. Stepmom of one - Lyrica 21. Big Sis of two - Karyn & Deidre. Auntie M to 6 - Joseph, Ayana, Taylor, Devin, Dillon and Delaney. Grammie to one, Jeremiah, who entered and left this world on Jan. 4, 2007
I spend most of my time creating mouse drawn graphics, creating web pages, web sites, researching my genealogy, and occasionally taking photos of stuff, mostly nature. I enjoy going for long drives out in the country side, stopping along the way to take photos of old barns, houses, and nature in general.I LOVE LOVE LOVE music .... My taste in music varies widely, from classical to heavy metal. And for most music, the louder the better!

Your Birth Month (Meme)
Here's a meme I picked up that I thought was kinda cute. Bloggers! Propagate!
Pick your birth month and cross (strike) out what doesn't apply to you. To strike out you use the S tag. Then post the whole list for the next person or link back to here .
AUGUST: Loves to joke. Attractive. Suave and caring. Brave and fearless. Firm and has leadership qualities. Knows how to console others. Too generous and egoistic. Takes high pride of oneself. Thirsty for praises. Extraordinary spirit. Easily angered. Angry when provoked. Easily jealous. Observant. Careful and cautious. Thinks quickly. Independent thoughts. Loves to lead and to be led. Loves to dream. Talented in the arts, music and defense. Sensitive but not petty. Poor resistance against illnesses. Learns to relax. Hasty and trusty. Romantic. Loving and caring. Loves to make friends.
Dear Lord ... Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill today, because they pissed me off. Amen.

My Interests

graphics and web design, photography, genealogy, music, history, arts and crafts

I'd like to meet:

Anyone nice and friendly, who isn't offended if I don't post comments to their myspace. I don't 'live' on myspace, and only come on once in a while.

I'm NOT into any 'funny stuff' .... NO swinging, NO swapping, I'm NOT looking for anyone to 'hook up' with on the side or any of that! I'm totally and completely happy, satisfied and content with my husband! TYVM! So if that is your goal, then please dont waste my precious time asking me to add you, because I won't! Trust.

That is all.
Thank You.
