rating: 10 | comments: 307

Most of us have heard the groans of authors when it comes to a synopsis. I don't think I've ever read of anyone saying, "Oh, that's easy. You just do this, this and that—it's . . . more

About Me

Describe Yourself:

Good sense of humor, good listener, love good conversation, good friends. I am confident and have respect for myself and others. I'm an optimist with my feet firmly planted in reality. I am a very loyal person and detest fickle, pessimists, and petty. I am an observer and see the nuances--they intrigued me. I like peace not particularly fond of discord. I'm by no means a pushover. I can and do stand up for myself but realize that not every battle is life and death, so I pick my battles and win the war, lol!

I have a 12 year old son, who is my greatest blessing in life. He is creative, funny, smart, opinionated (haven't a clue where he got that), and convinced that he knows everything (THAT comes with his age bracket, which I hope he outgrows fast so he gets to see his 18th birthday, lol!).

I work full time presently and am the Marketing Director of our firm. We do private investigations and we are also involved investment and developing of Ethanol plants, among other things.
