About me

Gender Female
Location Florida
Introduction So I was born and everything, and you know how that goes. And now here I am. In between, I went some places and met some people and learned some things and had a time here and there. At this point in my evolution, I'm a mom and a music lover and an optimistic cynic (wha?) and a person who still hasn't found what I'm looking for. Yup, that about covers it, I think....
