Me

I LOVE watching movies. Comedies especially. I have experienced true love, many times ... I am addicted to chocolate... I used to drive fast... now, old women pass me. I love working on the computer. I'm an animal lover. Always have been. I think that people who abuse animals &/or children should get life sentences. That way the cycle might end. My living room looks like a day care center. I don't do windows & I rarely dust. If my office / desk isn't clean & organized, I get very little work done. When I put my mind to something I go at it 100% ... I have had 1,000,000 ideas ... I didn't always have the family support -- or belief in myself -- to stick with the ideas & follow through enough to see if it'll turn out as great as I think it will in the beginning. I love to laugh. I strive to be healthy. I was given up for adoption at birth. 10 years ago, I met my birthmother & birthfather... we still stay in touch. They're both amazing. I've been a foster mom for 10 years. Sometimes it's too easy. At other times, it's so difficult, we discuss not doing it any more. The system sucks in so many ways. Many of the people I work with, do truly care. While at the same time, I've seen some of the worst the system has to offer, Social Services case workers for one - I have yet to be impressed. Empty threats, empty promises, lies, huge caseloads, laziness ... It's truly sad. I teach children to jump in puddles. I rarely shop for sneakers, because I'm so particular about how they should fit - it usually takes me a month of shopping & trying on sneakers, before I find the right pair. I hate shopping. When I DO finally find the right pair of sneakers, I should buy two pair. I do not own shoes. I have a garage full of crap. Good crap, but crap nonetheless.
