Well, here I are, finally setting up a proper spot in which to voice my many views and convey my message to the world. Those of you who know me well, know that I love to blog.....It fits!! I love to talk....I love to write and so, blogging works for me and gives me great pleasure, to boot!! Now where was I?? Oh yeah, blogging....I started blogging on Yahoo 360, then on Myspace.....but it just wasn't going anywhere....so I quit! I stopped sharing my life and my insight with my friends, family and total strangers and that's been something that I've really missed!! There have been a lot of changes in my life, that I'd really like to share with people....So, here I am, once again, sharing myself with the world!!
Let me start with some things about me. I'm 41 years old....a Southern Baptist wife and mother to one 13 year old stepdaughter, whom I adore (Not flesh of my flesh, not bone of my bone...but desire of my heart) I am a homemaker, domestic diva and chief cook and bottle washer and I love my life. We live in the Sierra Foothills of California...we are not rich.....we believe in God, Love and Family....We take God's word seriously and use it as a guidebook for living.... I am fat and have fought with many, about my weight, for most of my adult life. You will notice that I didn't write that I have a "weight problem"...that's because it's never been a problem to me, it's the rest of the world that just can't get over it. I do have health problems, as a result of my fatness, that have made me stop and readjust my thinking and my way of living....I have type 2 Diabetes (surprise!!) and peripheral neuropathy in both feet....and my blood sugar is poorly controlled....So, I have been using the Atkins Nutritional Approach to lose weight and control my blood sugar.....It's working!! I also work out, at least 3 times a week, if not every weekday! I love to cook (duhr! I didn't get fat eating McDonalds all the time), I sing in the choir at church and I love to sew and do many artsy craftsy things..... thanks to my daughter, I am now hooked on Stephenie Meyers' Twilight Saga....I quit smoking two weeks ago, I love Disneyland (my husband calls me a 'Disnerd'), I love second hand shopping and I love to garden.
Now, about my family! I have been married to Mark for almost 10 years.....We've been together for almost 10 years.....We met online, in March of 2000 and were married in August of 2000....We hit a bump in the road, in 2006/2007, but are fully recovered from that and stronger in our marriage and in our love for each other, now, then we've ever been before. Mark is 46 and works as a field mechanic for hydraulic lift equipment. He loves automobiles, trains, planes, television, shooting, eating and falling asleep in the couch!! I am the oldest of four and my parents have been married for 42 years. Our daughter is Mariah Lynn and she lives in Texas with her mom. We see her for holidays and for two to three months in the summer. Mariah is almost 14 years old, is an A student in the eighth grade and is the light of our life. Even though she doesn't live with us, we talk with her as much as possible. We also have fur and feather babies....We have one dog...a mixed breed dog called P'nut....We have two cats....a 15 year old Maine Coon called Rockie.....and a 2 year old bratty brat Siberian called Tugger (short for Rum Tum Tugger....though his name should have been Mungojerry, because he's always in some sort of a mess)...and we have a 6 year old Sun Conure Parrot called Picasso. Our pets are part of the family and are all of the indoor variety...We live in a duplex, in a little town called Copperopolis and love our rural country heaven. We moved here, almost 9 years ago and we call this our home. We love our community!!
Well, I think that's a satisfactory introduction....for now!! There is much much more to come!!
