If you know me you know that I roll with the punches the best I can. Just like the rest of us. One of my biggest mottos is 'ya gotta do whatcha gotta do.' Some know me as happy -go- lucky and others know that I can pick apart the best of situatons and take forever to decide something of great importantance to me. I stand solid in what I believe in, although I consider myself open and fair to others opinions. Put me on a soapbox and hand me a microphone and I will be heard. I'd like to call myself 'passionate' whether it be in love or war or life. I'm not an everyday warrior, but we've all had our own personal instances. I certainly don't take too much crap and I value myself and my loved ones.  I'm very sarcastic and I love to laugh and make people laugh as well. I have a twisted almost sick sense of humor, but since so many of you laugh with me and I know this, it doesn't bother me in the least. I'm a dedicated mother and I would die for my children at any given moment. Emotional to a fault, I find it hard to detach myself from anything which usually causes me more grief than necessary. Because of this I am extremely sensitive and can get my feelings hurt easily.... but I'm a trooper.   I cringe at failure but love a good challenge. I've got physical scars all over my body, each one a different story and you may get a exciting new different happening each time.  Things haven't always been easy for me, but I try not to complain. I'm a very hard worker and usually my cup over flowith due to my trying to fix it and make it perfect kind of way.  I don't do so well with asking others for help... at all, but I've reached out a time or two. Outwardly social, inwardly I enjoy my me, myself and I time. I get in funks and want to be left alone until it's done and over with. I make friends easily and once a friend, more likely than not, always a friend. I enjoy getting a happy on, but I hate being out of control. I like to cook although I am no chef. The sound of moving water can instantly put me to sleep, I prefer sunsets to sunrises, the smell of coffee in the morning and rain when it storms. I like to stop to smell the flowers and do. I wish I had learned to play the drums, I tolerate cats and love my big dopey dog. I like dirt to donut conversations... where any and everything goes. I know that with everyone of my friends I can think of at least one memory and it will bring a smile to my face. Many of you have shared much deeper times with me and I am forever greatful.  Many journeys, may experiences. Far from perfect I am simply a perfect me. I do my best until I learn and grow and become better. It's all I can do.
