Im from South Mississippi, where the summers are HOT and the tea is SWEET! 😏 I've been married to a wonderful man for 13+ years. We are fortunate enough to have a lot of the same interests, with the exception of my crafts and his love of science. (Yuck)

I have two beautiful daughters, 17 and 15. I dreaded the teenage years so bad, but honestly, it's the BEST, with the exception of knowing that I'll blink, and they will be gone to start a life of their own.

I run my own painting business. I paint custom cabinets and furniture for my wonderful clients! I've been quite successful and have no complaints, since my clients are the BEST and I get a little paint therapy in the meantime!

My favorite colors are PINK, periwinkle, Aqua, etc. I love bright and random.

I love family games such as scrabble, dominoes, cribbage, canasta, trivial pursuit, etc. My FAVORITE board games are the more obscure geeky games. T.I.M.E Stories, Letters From White Chapel, Fluxx, Carcassone, Magic The Gathering, etc.

I also enjoy cooking, reading, and pretty much anything that's a challenge!

I have two amazing dogs- they are my children too!! Manny and Sissy. They would be classified as mutts to some, but I know they just haven't found their breed yet. 😁😁😁😁 I would say I rescued them, but actually, they've rescued ME. 💗💗

I've just returned to swap-bot after a LONG break! I'm excited about jumping in again and starting some SWAPS!

I love 60s, 70s and 80s. I love the alternative stuff too! My favorite band is Dave Matthews Band. I love Blue October, Alabama Shakes, Rufus Wainwright, Al Green, anything Motown. I also like the OLD country: Merle Haggard, George Jones, Willie Nelson, etc. I love Metallica, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, A.M., Beck, The Beatles, Incubus.... There's not much that I don't love. I LOVE to be introduced to something new. My favorite kind of music is the NON mainstream stuff...
