Hello Everyone!
I am a grandma of the four most beautiful, smart, and adorable children that ever were born. I wouldn't be a good grandma if I didn't make that claim. Of course their daddy (my son) is the most wonderful and perfect son that any mother ever had. I wouldn't be a good mama if I didn't make that claim. And I have been married over 30 years to my soulmate; the most amazing man that ... well, you get the picture.
Truly, I cannot keep a job. Well, I can now. I drive a truck all over the country with my hubby. Not a pickup truck, but a semi-truck (aka 18 wheeler). We actually get paid good money to wander around and see this amazing country of ours. We've been doing this for the last ten years. Prior to this, I couldn't keep a job. I've been a hospital unit clerk, dialysis technician, endoscopy technician, childcare worker, inventory specialist, airline reservation instructor, aircraft fueler, pilot shop clerk, flight school receptionist, airline customer service supervisor, call center manager, print shop assistant, hotel guest services agent, and some other stuff.
Oh, and if you live in NV and need a notary. I am a Notary Public too. There's a story as to why I went and got the certification and stamp to do that.
I think I used to average about 14 months on a job before I'd get bored of the routine and quit ... or if I got lucky got laid off. Airlines are great for that.
The truck driving pays the bills ... and I love it. No routine here. Yesterday I was in NJ. Today I am in Iowa. Tomorrow I will be in UT. And everyday is casual dress day.
Stuff I do because it is fun and/or interesting to me include:
* astrology - I am teaching myself to make charts
* tarot reading
* working with energy - I am a Reiki practitioner and I also do Tai Chi and QiGong
* reading - which is why I am here. I like non-fiction books simply because I love to learn learn learn. But I also love brain candy like steamy yummy romance novels. I like books to make me feel good or as if I am growing in knowledge.
* spending time with the family. Hubby and I love to go hiking, fishing, or exploring with our son, daughter in law and the kids. We love family time and especially when we can do outdoor activities. Even love stuff at home such as riding bikes or working in the yard and garden.
* writing - even more than reading I love to write. I write both fiction and non-fiction. I am, or more correctly was a published author. The independent press that released my young adult fantasy series went under last year. I just recently went ahead and put the first two on Kindle with Amazon. I am doing some editing on the third before I put it on Kindle. I have several other manuscripts in various stages of completion.
Okay, I did say I was a chatterbox. I will stop here and go explore the forum further. Looking forward to getting to know you guys and make some new friends.
