Interests:

Seeking God's Presence, Laughing, Being Sarcastic, Writing Science Fiction and recently Erotic Fiction, OMG Facebooking! I used to enjoy hiking, camping (via RV), and long walks on the beach. NOW? Now, I'm too old and fat to hike without losing my breath after 1 mile! I loath camping and am spoiled rotten with our Wyndham Resort Vacations all across the country! Finally, I think the beach stinks like fishies and am afraid to swim in them anymore; especially after our trip to Vera Cruz, Mexico where I saw a guy get bit on the toe by a tiny baby SHARK while he was sitting with only his feet in the water, on the beach, in a foldout chair, reading the paper, smoking a cigar, and minding his own business!! Of course, then he put the cigar in the little baby shark's mouth and took a picture of it! Now that was funny!!

Tell us your favorite memory of Southwest High School:

Singing in the hallway on the 2nd Floor after scool one day with Mia Jones, Sawn Winfield (?), with a few people standing around watching us. That's the closest I ever got to entering the talent contest and/or singing karaoke! Matt Fulson was there and actually looked impressed when he heard me sing my part. That was a great feeling. My most favorite memory though, is her awesome murals I wish I would have taken pictures of because they are ALL GONE :( Too bad I wasn't a picture taking fool, the way I am now...
