    1. I chose to have my daughters at home rather than in the hospital, which I'll never regret.

    2. I once ran headlong into the King of Sweden as I was leaving work because I was late for our last choir practice before we sang for... the King of Sweden. (Incidentally, I learned later that I had no fewer than 20 sharpshooters pointing their rifles at me.)

    3. I've worked in a wide variety of industries and am fully qualified to state that training show horses to stand with their back legs extended is easier than training children to not repeat everything their mommy says. *sigh*

    4. I'm in my mid-fifties now, and just married a guy I met in college in the mid 70s.

    5. I hate going over overpasses or bridges in a car. It's partly a fear of heights, I think, but it's also that I live in CA and have this crazy notion that an earthquake will hit just as I reach the middle of the overpass, which will go crashing down carrying myself and everybody else on the bridge along with it.

    :happy:

    3. Vegetarians & Vegans frustrate the crap out of me. Especially when they are doing it to "save the animals". Same goes for organizations like PETA & HSUS. These Organizations have an Agenda, they have little education when it comes to animal well-being, and do more harm than good. Give your $$ to your LOCAL Humane Shelter. It is NOT the same as PETA or HSUS (which has a similar name). End rant. If you want more information, feel free to message me :) On the same note, our Farmers do not get the appreciation they deserve over a few black-eyes in the industry. If you had a good meal today, thank a farmer!

    I don't care what people eat or how they choose to eat but PETA is the WORST. Really, PETA. Thanks for "saving" the animals of the world by showing famous naked people. You're really doing AMAZING work. SUPPORT LOCAL!

    1. I was born with only 1 kidney. I didn't know this until I was 30 and had an ultra sound to check my gall-bladder, which had to be removed.
    2. I became a foster parent at the age of 23, and received my first child at the age of 24. I had 16 children through my home during my time fostering, but 3 that will always be "my babies". Foster care left me with lots of scar-tissue on my heart (my kids were sent back to their biomom, twice), but I would not trade anything in the world for the time I had with my precious babies. They are 7, 8 and 9 years old now. They were 4 months, 6 months, and 2 years when I first got them. No, I do not get to see them anymore.
    3. I go to sleep with either the Harry Potter movies or the Twilight movies on pretty much every single night.
    4. I'm a Christian because of Jesus Christ. At various times in my life I have been hurt by others who were "christians". I hope people get a sense of love from me so that I don't bring that kind of hurt to others.
    5. Things I enjoy a lot: Going to the zoo, Painting (oils and acrylics), baking, cooking for friends and family, and reading really good books.
