I am adopted. My father is retired, but was a very successful businessman, and later a professor, and dean at Butler University. My father is my hero. He encouraged me to be active in sports. I became a competive swimmer, thanks to my father. I have four daughters, all very different in their personalities. We are very close, and spend a lot of time together. We go out dancing, at least once a month. It's great to feel like one of the girls, instead of being, "Mom". I have five grandchildren, and they are my angels. Two of my girls had their daughters on the same day, 15 minutes apart. Of course they had to be in different hospitals! I was there when Jade was born. When they brought her out, she looked into my eyes, and when she wrapped her little hand around my finger, I was hooked for life. I spend a great deal of time with my babies. One of my fondest memories, is the day I took two of my granddaughters out to dance in the rain. I will remember that for the rest of my life, and hope they never forget it either.

I graduated from North Central Highschool. I later took some college courses, after moving out on my own, but decided to move to Florida with a friend. I took secretarial courses at night, at a local Votech, but found I hated office work. I have plans to get my certification to be a personal trainer, hopefully this year.

I want, very much, to finally get the website, my daughter and I have talked so much about, created. I want to be a personal trainer. I am working with a group called CODA, it's for codpendent people in recovery, which would include me. When I am farther along in my own recovery, I plan to open a local chapter, as we do not have one close to the area, where I live.

I enjoy talking to creative, interesting people. People who are open minded, have a great sense of humor, and are not afraid to let the child in them, out to play.

I have varied interests. I love working on old furniture and making it something new. I really enjoy looking for those little treasures at garage sales and thrift stores. I'm at the gym, four days a week. I love to DANCE! I've been dancing most of my life. I used to own horses, and barrel raced when I was younger. I really miss having horses.. I helped deliver my mare's last foal in the garage, turned into stall. That was a experience of a lifetime!

Pretty much anything by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and some of John Saul. Now I'm reading books on overcoming Codependency, and Panic Disorder. If it improves my life.. I'm willing to read it, then do the work.

Chocolate is my downfall! I love sea food, and chicken. I dont eat much red meat, unless we're talking home made Cheeseburgers.. then count me in!

I have very eclectic musical tastes. I love music from the 80's, those big haired bands.. chicks that rock.. (Vixen, Benatar, Lita Ford, and more) Anything I can move to, or moves me.. Not a big fan of rap or older country.

I love a good thriller. I always try to figure it out. The movie Transformers was awesome! I like good horror, not just hack them up, movies.

I like the CSI's.. all of them. I was really loving the show, Burn Notice.. but it's off until summer.. bummer! I watch a lot of MMA.

Did I say Dancing? I have many passions.. if you really want to know, just ask.

This is easy.. My Dad.
