If you want more Personal: I'm old enough to have two sons......lol.......Byte says that puts me between 14 and death!! I have an AS in word processing. That is a a secretarial type of degree. I worked for several years as a medical secretary then moved into the legal field. I enjoyed legal a lot more. I stopped working when I got pregant with our first and have stayed home to have a second. Now I enjoy being home with my boys. They are my labor of love. I'm very much into family. I used to be an avid reader, and I suspect I may be able to get back to it one day, when my kids are a little more helpful and independant (do I dream big or what?!?!?!) I also learned how to knit many years ago. My mom and I took a knitting class together. It was fun and I can knit most anything I set my mind on, once I understand the pattern (lol) but again, I don't do much of that now.
I do, however, gets lots of practice (and enjoyment) cooking and baking. I think I enjoy baking just that little bit more. I enjoying making goodies for my three men....one in particular! <w> I make brownies the most. They are quick for a nice treat for the boys. But cookies and cakes are fun. I learned how to decorate cakes from my mom too. I discovered a really yummy Fudge Cake recipe a few weeks back in one of my cookbooks. I'll have to make a recipe corner!! I make almost everything from scratch. I admit to an occasional use of store bought something, and when I remember what they were, I'll let you know!! lol My husband really likes my pies. Thinking about it, I may just finish this up and go make a lemon marangie for him!!
That is about the total of my really personal!! Hope you enjoy my web site and some of the links. I know not everything I like will be your cup of tea, but there are a several different subjects and one or two might appeal to you. Be sure to check out the High School Freinds link under Misc. You can find your HS and sign in, maybe you can find that best friend that disappeared off the face of the earth.....who knows?? I'm off to make that pie..........have a wonderful day and enjoy!!
Politics: If character doesn't matter in a politician, what does that say about the people who voted for them??
Education: Kids are our tomorrow, so why are we letting the public schools dumb-them-down today??
Computers: Computers are a great thing. I've made many friends in cyberspace. I've even had the privledge of meeting a few in person. Later this summer, I'm going to get meet many more of my cyberfriends. I am niave and trusting by nature and, unfortunately, have discovered that you can't trust some people you meet here. Those kinds of people are pretty much low-life's....wouldn't you agree??
Children: Do you know why God made kids so cute?? So we wouldn't kill them before they reach 18!!!
