I love to cook, scrapbook, garden, read, play with my kids and at the end of August I'll be canning all the food from my garden. My goal over the next couple of years is to can enough to last the winter and reduce my grocery bill. Not sure if it will work but I'll give it a shot...

Have you ever used power tools? Were you successful or was it a disaster? Give up all the details even if you may be a bit embarrassed!

I always was a morning person.....now ray of sunshine....that's open to opinion.  I remember when my children were small I would get up at 5AM just to have an hour or so to myself and I didn't work outside the home then! 

Now that I am in my mid 50s, I still am a morning person.  I'm usually sound asleep by 11PM and wide awake at 6AM. 



Have you ever participated in an extreme sport (skydiving, bungee jumping, etc) and if so would you do it again?

  Hah - parts where they belong - you know my sick trauma nurse humor - I prefer seeing parts where they DON'T belong!! 

My reason for leaving MK - I'll give you the short novella....
My director pushed and pushed, and finally I realized that she was lying through her teeth to the point that she forgot what the truth was. She was calling my friends behind my back (got ahold of my online customer list!!) and I lost several friends. I left my church unrelated to MK, but when that happened, I lost over 60% of my customers. She told me to "get over it, and get to work like you've never been before." I thought that was pretty uncaring, and it rubbed me wrong, and when I went to the fall retreat for our area, I saw some things that absolutely turned my stomach green. From downright blasphemy to outright begging people to put in inventory, followed by listening to several directors say horrible things about some of my friend consultants, I realized what a clique-ish, phony, scam it was. I stepped back, saw my debt and what it had done to my family and me, and realized that the lack of integrity wasn't something I could abide any more. After I backed off, she really showed her true colors, calling me names, sending me NASTEEEEEEEEE nasty emails, and calling me constantly. I had to block her email address, and I screen my caller ID. Her cousin is the NSD, and she was involved in the whole Hilari Courtney scandal - the NSD gave her most of the ideas she got caught doing! I can't be a part of that scum.

So, on to happier things - do you live in your dream house yet?

Nope I don't tan, I am neon white and burn and peel, even with sunscreen.  I try to stay out of the sun and cover up. 

What is your favorite summer activity?

When I'm Stressed out  I fill the tub with bubble bath, light a candle, put on my favorite music and relax with a glass of wine.  That makes it all okay!

Do you have a tatoo and if so, what is it?   If not, what would it be, if you did?

I have a dog and she doesn't sleep on our bed, she sleeps on the floor beside the bed. 

What is the housework chore you hate the most?

Steak and fried mushrooms, baked potatoe, and a good glass of red wine 

Do you like chocolate covered cherries?
