simply me

basically, i am a mess...

my honey and i have been together over half our lives. apparently we were in the same fourth grade class, but i don't remember him.  then we had pre-algebra together in eighth grade.  he sat right behind me.  he was so annoying!  vests were big then, and i would wear a vest to school, sit in front of him in math, the bell would ring, i would try to stand, only to find he had untied the tie on the back of my vest and retied it around my chair.  i think it was love at first sight (lol).  we have been annoying each other ever since. ahh... love

i am the oldest of five (if you don't count two considerably older half siblings and two step sisters i've met a few times).  Mom had the last of us when i was a senior in high school.  people thought the baby was mine! not so, though i have friends with children the same age as my siblings.

i love to create... everything!  the problems is i am just good enough at artistic endeavors to wish to do "something more" with them but not good enough to actually make a go of it.  i can sing, but not well enough to do it for people's enjoyment.  put me in the choir but don't give me a solo basically sums it up.  i love to draw, paint, sculpt, there again you can tell what it is but could i sell it and make a living? probably not.  (though i have seen some pretty bad art with pretty big price tags so maybe i could).  i love dance.  i took many years of ballet, tap, and jazz.  went to competitions (including nationals twice) but was never going to be a professional ballerina.  i've known "how" to sew since i was pretty young but HATED using patterns so didn't do it much.  now i wish i knew so much more because that is where all my free time goes and all my creative juices are directed...

anything else worth knowing?  if you think so, let me know...
