More About Me

I am somewhere near thirty. I refuse to give more detail than that. It's really none of your business and has no bearing on the world in general. The gray streak in my hair is a fashion statement plain and simple.

I am a WIA Career Advisor, have been since January 2010. I help people get money to go to school so they can better themselves. Before that I was an Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences. No idea what that is? Most people don't. I taught people things regarding family and consumer matters. That's in the past and I prefer to keep it there.

I have a bachelor's degree. I'm the only one in my family that does. I'm proud of my accomplishment.

I am a Christian (read my statement of faith if you have any questions), a member of a Freewill Baptist church, and a teacher to a Sunday School class of 5-7 year olds.

I have had the same best friend since I was in seventh grade. You're just going to have to trust me when I say that's a long time. I refuse to put a number to it. It's really none of your business.
(Said best friend is currently pregnant. At our age, nonetheless. Huh!)

I do not under any circumstances take any enjoyment whatsoever in doing housework. I do not like to vacuum. I hate putting clothes away. I can't stand loading the dishwasher. I do, however like a clean house. My husband says he has a housekeeper anytime I broach the subject of hiring one. I don't think it's funny. (He means me.)

I, as my mother would say, am Chief cook and bottle washer. Fortunately the bottles are gone now. One less thing I've got to do.

I have had children in diapers for seven years now. I can't wait to potty train my little punk so I can stop throwing away my hard earned money on his underwear.

I am extremely funny. No one but me thinks so, but honestly, I am.

I love to shop. I am not a martyr in my motherhood. I love to buy for my kids. If I had to chose between them and me, I would certainly make the sacrifice and purchase for them. I have never had to make that choice. I enjoy purchasing things for myself, especially clothes, shoes, purses, and jewelry. I enjoy buying shoes very, very much.

I love wearing high heels. I do not do it to make myself taller. I can wear 3 inch heels and am still quite short. I don't pretend I don't know this. I just like wearing them even though I'm pretty sure they're killing me.

I love getting a good deal on anything. Compliment me on my shirt and you are probably going to be told how much I paid for it.

I am surrounded by boys. My house if full of testosterone. I don't have a single space in my home purposed solely for my use. My husband would disagree and say that I have the kitchen. I don't think that is funny. My sons have each of their bedrooms. They don't have to share like I do. Their toys have now taken over downstairs. Hubby has a basement equipped with a workshop, a fireplace, and cable tv as well as toys. They share a garage space that is filled with a riding mower, a tractor, and toys. Hubby has a den decorated to his specifications and filled with model cars and toys. I have a kitchen that is filled with appliances to be used to cook and clean and cabinets full of dishes to fill with food. This seems unfair.

I am currently five to ten pounds heavier than I was at the end of my last pregnancy. I am currently forty to forty-five pounds heavier than I was when hubby and I got married. I'm okay with it.
