| Introduction | I have a simple life in a small town. Married for 3 years now to a wonderful man who spoils me and calls me his Princess. He is a package deal and comes with 2 teenage boys whom I love dearly and they keep our life interesting! This past summer, with my husband's encouragement and support, I quit my full-time job to be a stay-a-home woman. Yes, we have one less income but we are happier than we've ever been in our lives. We live in an 1890 Folk Victorian and our mutual hobby is restoring our home, very slowly, room by room. I don't leave the house without nail polish and lipstick, I love pretty, girly things, but I can change a tire, mow the lawn, wire a lamp, paint the house and run in high heels. I can't stand cruelty to animals or children and I will clobber you with my handbag if you harm anyone I love. |

| Favorite music | If I listed actual names here it would be too long! I primarily listen to music by dead people: meaning recordings from 30's-50's and love old R&B, Big Band, Crooners, Swing, Western Swing, Early Country, Rockabilly, Jazz, Early Rock & Roll, Early Soul, I do listen to "new" music but mainly those are bands that have a "retro" sound to them, Even still you'd be surprised by how many songs I can sing along to on the radio! |
