I grew up in Michigan, moved to California where I married and had two children, then landed in Tennessee where I live today. Even though I've been here for 20 years, it's still a big adjustment for me. I'm kind of loud, boisterous, and speak my mind, which sometimes involves a lot of swearing. I'm spontaneous, half-insane, the class clown and life of the party, and I don't take crap from anyone. This doesn't fit in very well in the Bible Belt. I imported my high school boyfriend here and married him, so we could both suffer together in bliss.

I love genealogy, candle-making, writing, woodworking, logic problems, music, step aerobics, and making jewelry, but I also take care of my mom and her finances, do lawn work, all the other household chores, and then there's the various things I do to make money. Being a liberal/independent I was very involved with politics, but gave that up because it seems like a lost cause. They're all a bunch of criminals and nobody fights anymore, especially here. I want to get involved with the fight to make marijuana legal everywhere, even though I very rarely smoke. I feel as strongly about this as I do the first amendment. Harry Anslinger is the newest addition to my list of most hated people in the world, right underneath Hitler and my old boss.

I was estranged from my daughter for about 7 years and she recently moved to Tennessee from California when she developed epilepsy. She is a 34 year old carbon copy of me and together we are hysterically funny. I got a Go Pro to tape us because I'm sure we will have our own hit show someday.

Because of all the things on my plate, I have rarely written in the past twenty years. But that changed when I joined Fanstory. I am now inspired by all the supportive and talented writers there, and have made a resolution to write for at least an hour a day. Maybe two. If I could only detox myself from MahJong.
