About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I grew up in Door County, WI with a fairly close knit family. My parents taught me a great respect for nature, family, and god. My sister and I were lucky enough to have three extra "siblings" as my cousins lived next door to us. We lived just a hop skip and a jump away from the lake. We spent many a summer night swimming and many a winter day ice fishing with our dads. I miss it so. Hey I am Pisces what can I say. Every place I have moved since needs to have a body of water near. I guess you could say it centers me. The large portion of my “extended” family also went to the same school as I did. It was not uncommon for me to see or hear about something a cousin did. Growing up in DC I was put to work at a young age, as did most kids I went to school with. I worked in my grandparents cherry orchard (okay maybe I just ate the cherries instead of picking them), bussed tables for a fish boil, was a stock clerk, did some book keeping, cleaned hotel rooms, was a waitress (@ the place with the goats on the roof), and I worked in one of the five state parks all which led me to where I am today. I went to college to search out and learn what I could do with my life. I earned a degree in biology and chemistry. College was not only a place for my studies but I grew as a person and met many new people. I was blessed with even a wider variety of friends. All of the relationships that I have with my friends and family have helped me grow as a person. Currently I live in Madtown, WI. I work as a QC Chemist. My coworkers and I go out to watch our friends' band. Hey we aren't all nerdy scientists. =) I also enjoy getting out in nature. I used to be skilled in the knowledge of bird calls in Wisconsin but as I spend more and more time in the city I am finding I am losing this talent. As in any talent that one has if you don’t use it you lose it. One of my life goals is to visit all of the state parks in the state of Wisconsin. There is so much to see in this state. I enjoy traveling and want to see many other parts of this country and world but first I want to conquer what is in my own backyard. Currently, I live with one overweight cat who is addicted to catnip. The cat can't spend time locked out of the same room I am in. Unfortunately for me her alarm is about 2 hrs earlier than mine. I am also a self taught pie/ maker who definitely needs to share the fruits of her labor with others...
