I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, what about me? :) I think life is beautiful, even when it's being seen through rolling tears and sadness. My children are my world. And, they are amazing. I love my family and my friends, nothing is more important. I work hard. Really hard... but my career is great. Fun and successful. I like to have a good time. Life's too short. A mojito sounds good. It's morning, so that's a no, but still... sounds good. And I digress...Myspace Graphics

Seriously, life is so fragile and precious.  There's a reason why I don't read the paper or watch the news often.  I am the complete opposite of a news junkie.  Completely.But a few min...
