.. and that's the way it is.... Well,other than that, what's there to say? I'm a nobody, nobody's perfect, therefore I'm perfect. Oh, also I have a husband, and 2 girls- I call them "night and day". You all know what I'm talking about. I live in west michigan a few miles from the sand dunes which I love to climb, just beautiful. I enjoy walking (well, half enjoy; half I have to do to work off my favorite foods), reading (robin cook,dean koontz,Thomas Cook and such) and watching tv. Yes, I'll admit it, I LOVE TV. There's so much to say, so little time......
