OK, so where did it all begin for me? *lol* Here's a little biography on me... maybe it'll give you some insight, maybe not!

I was born in Portland, OR, so long ago, I would have to guess it was before the fall of the Roman Empire. *lol* Ok, maybe not that long ago, but it feels like it some days.

I grew up on Sauvies Island, OR, which is just out of Portland and is famous for its nude beaches. *lol* Go figure huh? Naw, I didnt become warped until much later. Anywho, my family lived on a huge farm and ran it for the landowner. It was about 1000 acres. I loved playing with the animals when I was young, and contrare to what many think, I'm very much a tomboy.

I moved to Vancouver, WA when I was 10ish with my mom, when my parents split. My moms side of the family mostly lives in this area. Not much to tell about these years. I was a social butterfly. I hung with the preps, the jocks, the stoners, the mods(nowadays they are called goths)... everyone. I was a cheerleader for awhile. I took choir, until I accepted the fact that I couldnt hold a note to save my life. *lol*

Hmm, where now... oh yeah, I met my hubby when I was 14. We became friends, and when I was 16 I was engaged to a guy in the air force, but my hubby professed his want of me. *lol* I had always wanted him, but due our age difference, it was all kinda a tricky sitch. Anyways. So we got together, and we got married when I was 21, roughly 4 years later!

My hubby Kurt and I have been together for 16 years now, 12 of them married. We stayed in Vancouver, cause both our families live here. I worked at several jobs. Waitress, Hostess, Caregiver... even stripper.. *lol* and did a little modeling.

Then in 1999, we had our beautiful daughter Arrianna! She's 5 almost 6 now and growing like a weed. She came 5 weeks early and has been in a stampeding rush to grow up ever since! *lol*

Now I work as a certified nurses assistant and as a mortgage processor, and sometimes, we I feel like cutting loose, I'll work a shift dancing again! *lol*

We live in our small 3 bedroom house, with our 4 cats, Shadow, Stormy, Xanadu and Ariel, and our boston terrier Gidget. My daughter also has 4 fishes and 1 russian tortoise.

Well, I think that suffices as a brief history, if you're still reading, WAKE UP!
