I read 4 or 5 books a week and can spell anything! When I went back to school after my divorce from my first husband, I had a smart ass teacher who wanted to call out a long list of words to see if I could spell before I started her class. I told her that if she could pronounce it, I could spell it

I can't eat spaghetti unless I have dill pickles with it!

I sang in a band when I was married to my first husband

I married my first husband twice!

I eloped at 16

I won a prize for poetry a couple of years ago.

Let's see......It's hard to think of anything interesting.

I was married 11 years before having children.

In my work, I've climbed a lot of equipment in petrochemical plants. I've been on top of polyethylene reactors. Quite a climb, but quite a view as well. It's very flat around here, so when you climb high you can see for miles. I've also been inside a boiler drum (that's where, when it's running, all the hot water is that is turning into steam.)

Grew up on a farm, with no brothers, so can do lots of farm stuff. Also helped my mom, so can take a chicken from the yard to the table.

Changed majors twice before graduating...Biology to Home Economics to Mechanical Engineering.

I haven't done anything really interesting. I'm gonna have to get out more, that's all there is to it!!! Where's my coat and where's the door?????

Let's see............I think there's a lot more stuff that you might not have known about me!

Let me think

Oh this is interesting I guess.....

I interned at the United States Senate in Washington D.C. during the summer of 2004. It was very interesting meeting U.S. Senators like Elizabeth Dole, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, Joe Liberman, ect. in person and seeing what they are really like!

Here I go

I changed my major six times in school before ending up in management.

I love math

I took singing lessons as a kid

I showed quarter horses on the national level all through high school & part of college

My mom (yes my mom) raises horses & farms near 400 acres; my dad owns the company I work for.

Governor Bowen (if you are from Indiana you probably know who this is) is from my home town & delivered my mom. When he was running for office my mom & some of her friends had shirts that said I'm a Bowen Baby.

I earned a 1st place 3 years running in state vocal contests while in high school.
I used to sing at funerals, weddings, and local programs of all sorts. I played guitar and taught myself to play a banjo to provide background music for a bonnie and clyde type production in my jr year. I never picked up a banjo again.

I got to help deliver a baby and remove a pin from a mans hip while in training for my EMT certification. It was cool!

I was given an ultimatum by a drunk boyfriend when I was 15... "put out or walk"... so I walked 6 miles in pouring rain in the dark to the nearest farm; after kneeing him where it hurt!

I reported a superior for sexual harrassment of myself and 5 other women working on the ambulance service. When nothing was done, I called every member on the County EMS board to complain and he was fired within 24 hrs. A few months later he died of brain cancer.

Some facts about me:

I was born and raise in Mayaguez, PR. I move to NYC in 1991. I was studying to be a surgical tech until I had to stop due to illness. I suffered from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. I love my kids that include my yorkie girl.

I earned frist place for drama when I was in High school.
I used to be a "cheerleader" in elementary school.
I love math.
I was in the chorus in the 9 grade.
I love the books of Nora Roberts.

Almost every week before my husband leaves he gets very crabby and critical. He finds it easier to leave if he's mad at us than if he's not, so acts up; then convinces himself it's US that caused it. This has gone of for years. For the most part I simply ignore it since I know where it comes from.

No no no.......I was not naughty!

I drank more before I turned 18 than I have since.

I went through a brief wild spree after my divorce and before meeting my current husband.
