Before I became a homemaker, I did odd jobs for the family business, then on to waitressing, sales, & customer service until I finally stumbled onto the Printing/Publishing Industry. I spent almost a decade there until becoming a stay-at-home-wife...then mother. I am an avid reader, internet surfer, & documentary watcher. I consider myself more spiritual than religious, & believe that it's a very personal choice either way. I'm a jaded optimist; when knocked down by life's trials, I know I'll do what I must to get up again. I enjoy riding my motorcycle, the outdoors, artisan shops, & book stores. I'd like to get a tattoo someday. I'm known for my "infectious laugh," & have a husband & daughter who keep me at it every day. *I don't have a photo of me on this computer yet so I dropped in one of my daughter instead.*
