| Occupation | so far, since 2004 everything that I have done has brought in zero income, so doesn't that make me non-profit?? |

| Introduction | Born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, I began regifting at an early age. My whole family routinely regifted and still does. I never realized it was such a social slap-in-the-face until I was much older and could afford to actually purchase presents for people. But still, I regularly regifted. Friends were offended, co-workers and employees were enraged, and customers and clients were incredulous! Why in the world would anyone want to give someone a gift that they had already gotten? “Well”, I wondered, “Why not?” It seemed to me that there were numerous reasons to resort to regifting when giving a gift was expected. For one, why waste a present that could be perfectly appropriate for another person, just because it wasn’t something that I necessarily needed or wanted, when someone else seriously might be excited to receive it? Plus, it seemed as if some pretty good gifts were getting wasted, when the whole world was working on reducing and recycling our otherwise useless stuff for the protection of our planet. I figured (as my family had frequently found before) that regifting was really the most responsible way for anyone to recycle their unwanted gift waste, once and for all! |
| Interests | Besides graciously regifting every chance I get, writing down ideas for more stories and books, taking care of my husband, 2 kids and 2 greyhounds, I also make (and hopefully sell!)jewelry. (www.ubjewelled.com) I'm also interested in a clean house, but I'm not at all interested in cleaning it. Or any housework in general, really--! |
| Favorite movies | Too many to mention-- I have always watched way too many movies, especially since my era of video club mgmt. And I usually spew out movie and actor trivia about stuff no one else really cares about |
| Favorite music | I am extremely eclectic-- I like some of almost everything,even some hip-hop, country and rap. (But not much of those...) |
| Favorite books | I probably own just about 1/4 of all the self-help books out there, along with a big bunch more of "help-someone else", and how-to books. But I also read for fun-- novels, biographies and quirky, obnoxious humorous stuff...(much like my own) |
The love potion you made tastes terrible. How will you drink it?
Quickly, if it's for me. If I made it for someone else, I'll add tequila. (Maybe I'll put a shot in mine, too)
