Afterall what are friends for.. I need a shot with this major Californian to Tennessee move, Sounds good to me!! :wink:

20 wonderful facts about myself..Don't Yawn Now! :L)
 

:lovewings Start Time: 9:15 p.m. Pacific Time
#1:I am a Fun and Nutty Sagitarius. Born December 20th, 1965 so that makes me a classic and will have turned the big 40 this December.
#2: I have been a Vegetarian since the 5th grade and have never lapsed or turned back. I won't eat red meat or poultry but do eat fish, seafood, and dairy products.
#3: I have a 3 Children. 1 has left the nest this year, she turned 18 and have a son 13 and another daughter 10.
#4: I have been born and raised in California all of my life and am embarking on the biggest change and starting over in Tennessee with my family in a month. Excited, Tired and a little Nervous!
#5: I am the biggest animal lover :aimeeyork :animal36 :dog: and owner that you will probably ever come across.. I have 6 Dogs, 2 Cats, 2 African Greys Parrots, Reptiles (Snakes, A Monitor, A Australian Bearded Dragon, Blue Tongue Skink, Water Turtles, Box Turtles, A Leopard Gecho, A Pac-Man Frog, A Guinea Pig, and a Rabbit) Some of these guys have been with since the early 90's and have been out of rescues and costomers from my past PetSmart Job giving them to me because they heard that I was the Animal Rescuer in the Store!! My hubby also helped add to our Big Animal Family!! I told you!!
#6: I have been married to my husband this January 19th for 15 years. We met and married after 4 months of dating!
#7: I Love the Outdoors and Country Settings, I Love Historic Furniture, Antiques and the Country way of doing things! I am modern only by PC!
#8: I love lots of different types of music but keep coming back to my Country, Classic Rock and Southern Rock!
#9: I Love Art! I can Scrapbook til I drop, I can Tole Paint, Re-finish Wood and have taken lots of art and multimedia classes.
#10: I am certified in Multimedia. I know Photoshop like the back of my hand, love creating digital art.. I have a minor certification in Digital Photography.
#11: Even though I am tough at times, I am very much a lady. I live in Skirts and have to have my fingers and toes done all of the time, but at the same time I can get down to basics without blinking an eye.. It doesn't inhibit me.. and am not a fu-fu girl.. Just a lady!
#12: Unfortunately ... My whole family and my husband's family are all deceased.. We are all that is left on both sides except for our children.. So my kids missed out on having grandparents and extended family watch them grow up and we missed sharing our later years with them also. So it's been hard at times for the both of us and we miss our parents dearly!
#13: I drive a SUV and love the height and being in a SUV.. I can't see myself ever driving a standard car again. This one is my second one due to a size upgrade for all of my furbabies!
#14: I'm not afraid of anything except for Heights and Certain Spiders and of course Poisoness Snakes! Even though driving a SUV doesn't bother me regarding heights, it's hard to get me on a high rollercoaster or hiking along a mountain cliff which I literally froze and couldn't move anymore when I was in Middle School and the Adults had to come and get me.. My feet wouldn't move for anything!!
#15: I have an extensive Giraffe Collection!! Don't laugh it's true! I have Antique Giraffes, Comical Giraffes, Giraffes of every shape, size and colore!! I need more display cases for them too!!
#16: I love the Mountains more so than the Beach (Go figure being a Californian Native and living less of an hour from the Beach)!!! Give me rolling plains and Mountains around anyday!!
#17: I love Plants and just gave away all of my Succulants and rare plants to friends due to that I didn't want them to die when we started our new adventure driving to Tennessee..
#18: I am German, Irish, French and a hint of Cherokee Indian!! What a combo!! I cook big for an army, don't know how to cook in small amounts and can take just about anything but if you push my buttons for too long, I do have a temper! It has been a little less "Hot" through the years as I've matured and have learned how to cope with lifes challeges..
#19: I have been living in a 1953 beautiful Cabin Like House for the past 7 years and the day of leaving will hurt due to that I love my house that I just now sold but can't stand the way that California has changed and don't want to raise my last two children here with all of this violance around.. Plus the South has had my respect on the way their values are.. Family is of importance, and here it seems like it's second on the list in peoples everyday lives.. So can't wait to show them a different side to the meaning of life..
#20: My house decorations are all primitive and antique.. I do sell and buy alot of E-bay and have been doing so for the past 5 years.. I am a stay at home mother and a Auctioneer.. I love working from my house and will continue to do when I have moved to Tennessee too.. I plan to get my Realitor's Licence and work from my home and still sell antiques and collectibles on E-bay for fun too.. Well that is it in a nutshell!! I hope no one is Snoring by now!! ZZZZZZZZZ!!!
