This time in my life, I'm looking forward to doing more of what I want instead of what others expect. It's hard when you've been the giver for so many years and finally take time for yourself. I've been through alot of trials and tribulations, so to speak, and you know what they say..what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. :) So..with that, I'm looking to the future to do more for me for a change! I'm hoping I'll find some "partners in crime" on myboomerplace.com to come up with some schemes!

sense of humor, helping others, being a democrat.I also LOVE Asheville, NC, but doubt we will be able to afford to live there.

Bad drivers (don't you people know about turn signals?), most republicans. Self-centered people (umm..republicans).,
