I work at Catholic Charities Emergency Services in St. Cloud- (we are the 4th largest food shelf in MN, serving over 4,000 people each month, on 7-1-09 alone we served 257 families) I can say there is never a dull day! We've only had to call the police a few times... less often than we've called the ambulance! People get a little crazy when its standing room only! (full moons do it too)

I listed my son Levi under children, not to elicit (good "Mr. J" word) sympathy, but to acknowledge and honor him as my first born. I can't wait to meet him - I'm sure he is as fabulous as his sister!

Abril (that's Spanish for "April") Ilana (Hebrew for "sunshine") is the light of my life, and its the most fun to make her giggle - she has an amazing sense of humor, she's much too smart for her own good (and mine), she knows how to push all my buttons (sigh) and I love her like crazy.

not that YOU can see ~

Rascal Flatts (ALL), Dave Matthews, Pink Floyd, Led Zep, Doors, Black Crowes, Primus, Toadies, Tori Amos... oh. was I supposed to pick one?

One fav? nope - Stephen King, John Sanford, Sue Grafton, Dean Koontz, Nicholas Sparks (yes, I'm an investigative sci-fi hopeless romantic)

Matamoros, Mexico (I made it over the border ~ and back LOL!)

vacation? what's that?
