I'm a newlywed married my high school sweetheart in Nov. of 2004. I love dogs and I had 2 golden retrievers growing up and still have one because the other passed away. I recently got a hamster named Cocoa. Cocoa was my sister's hamster first, and Cocoa had 4 babies right after her and her husband bought her home from the pet shop! So I got Cocoa and the babies stayed with my sis. I love reading books (especially Romance books as well as Dean Koontz, John Saul, Stephen King type books-also love V.C. Andrews & Harry Potter books). I love doing just about any kind of crafts but my top favorites are probably crochet and cross stitch. I also like chatting on the computer and playing video games-mostly sim/strategy or arcade type games. My all-time favorite is the sims 2 for PC with all the expansions, but I dont like open for business. I love cooking and am always looking on Zaar for new recipes to try.
