I'm 34, married to Byron and a stay at home mom to 6 year old Penny. I have worked retail, driving cars, with at-risk youth, with developmentally disabled adults, with elementary school kids and with infants.
My journal is not terribly exciting, and I don't post every day, but I do read my friend's list every day and comment quite often. I've made some great friends on LJ, friends that I've had for years now. I love these friendships and when I add people to my f-list, I'm looking for a real back and forth....I want to make a new friend....and that requires commenting...me in their journal and them in mine. Without that, what's the point?
Hobbies: playing with penny, avoiding house work, lj, listening to music, looking for recipes, watching tv shows on dvd with byron, organizing, starting projects and not finishing them.
Dislikes: i dislike it when couples call each other "baby". i dislike it when people bicker in front of me. i dislike it when people try to insist that their opinion is the only one that matters or is right. i also dislike high drama and hearing about people repeatedly making decisions that aren't good for them or their children. i'm not a fan of girlie girl stuff in general, i don't fawn over things and get all goo goo and think things are "sooo cute!!". i dislike cleaning bathrooms, having to be nice to people when i don't want to and when i'm wrong about something that i was sure i was right about.
More about me: *i'm a left minded, atheist, plain jane. *i love to have a lot of friends and be the center of attention, and i also love my alone time. *i was raised as an only child (but have 6 much older half siblings), and can be a snobby brat. *change scares me, unless it's my idea. *my husband spoils me, not with 'things', but as far as things going my way mostly....at least he lets me believe that anyways! *before pregnancy, i was all about either sitting on my ass watching tv, or going to the bar for beers, smokes and games. now, i'm about trying to be a good mom (easy!!) and housewife (not so easy!!).
