1. I was involved in an abusive relationship that produced my oldest son...his father has never seen him. (His father served time in jail for attempting to murder me.. and since he didn't succeed, the sentance was reduced to 10 years)

2. I am a stronger person for having to survive that in my life. And irregardless of the tragedy of it, I wouldn't change it for the world....I have my son, and I am a better person for it

3. I have been to college 2 times, the first time was to become a teacher, and the second time was for business administration. (The third time will be for something else, I haven't figured that out yet)

4. I love animals...if I could afford to keep more, I would have more.

5. I must have a certain look about me... strangers will tell me their life story standing in line at a checkout...

6. I secretly harbor the desire to become a writer.

7. Like BCG, I am a purse fanatic.... and am teased unmercifully by Cobalt and the kids about it....

8. I love too easy but am a cynic at the same time.

9. I believe that there isn't anything that I cannot do if I put my mind to it.

10. I will sometimes go above and too far beyond for the people that I care about - at my own expense sometimes.....
