Well, I've put off writing this page for about as long as I can so I figure I might as well go ahead and bite the bullet. You'd think it'd be pretty easy to just write up a little page about myself but it's not, at least for me it's not. I sit here looking at this blank page and try to think of what to say but all that comes to mind is the opening line from The Jerk - "I was born a poor black child…"
Anyway, I guess I'll start with some introductions
- I have 2 sons, T and D. T is 3 years older than D.
- I'm married to J. He and I have known each other since 8th grade. This is the second marriage for both of us and oddly enough, our ex-spouses are a lot alike.
- My best friend is S and her husband is J. S and I met about 5 1/2 or 6 years ago when we were working at the same office. She and I were roommates for close to a year when T was a baby. I'm 10 years older than her but we're so alike that we don't even notice. J is a tattoo artist and S is a piercer.
- I've got a big black cat named Charlie.
- S & J have a dog & a squirrel named Pablo and a big dog. Pablo is blind in one eye, the dog is fine. LOL
- Our family is pretty close. We live with my husband's parents and his grandmother lives here too (it's a big ol house). My parents are probably less than 1/2 mile away.
- After being diagnosed with depression for several years I was finally properly diagnosed as bipolar about 3-4 years ago.
I think that's about it. There's really not much that goes on in my life to write about. I spend a lot of time just working through my thoughts & feelings and trying to get shit sorted out in my head.
