(#1) Getting to know me...or not!

Let's just get the introduction out of the way so you will know a little bit about me and WHY I live in the attic!

First of all, I figure that some of you will read this blog because you are curious, some because you are hoping for some "dirt". Many will not even bother, and then there are the ones who - like myself - see a one woman soap opera and are unable to turn away in rather the same manner as a rubber-necker at an auto wreck!

As for my personality we can begin with Pookie (my dh) --Hubby has recently taken to calling me "Gadget Girl" because I spend ALL my free time when we are on the road either playing on laptop, updating or playing on my iPhone; or loading, watching or playing with my ipod..I ADORE gadgetry!!  (He simply wishes that I spent much more time adoring him)      I am self-taught in nearly all I know.  It is a compulsion I have to learn what I do thoroughly, which really annoys my family.  My true hobby/passion is in photo and video editing.  However, with all the things I learn and do, as well as being CFO of our business endeavor and homeschooling my last two children I barely have time to be the lounge lizard I dream of!


------------------------------------------------ While I have been a homeschooling mom for 20 years with occasional forays into cake decorating; and also creating DVD slideshows for sale, I was, until a recent back injury, traveling around the country working with my honey in our new business. Would rather be at home with my family than anywhere else, but always up for a fun girls day out!--(yup, call me!!)-


In a nutshell (this is for those of you smart enough to jump to the end, lol), I am a blue/orange personality with severe OCD and anxiety disorder. There is my husband of 26 years, who is the cast for "stick-in-the-muditis" and five children whose sole purpose in life is to see who can drive mom to the corner with her Lambchop puppet first!!
I have two grandkids and am resident zookeeper for various living, needy things.  Are you beginning to see why the attic might be appealing to me?
