Ok, I'll go first. What makes me tick????

My husband, without a doubt. My love for him is so strong, and to me it doesn't matter what he did, he is still my soul-mate.

Next would be my children. I have 2 from a previous marriage - Steve is my oldest, he is 22 this year. He is in the Army, stationed in Colorado Springs. I learned in January of this year that he got married last June to a wonderful young woman named Amber. Steve and Amber are expecting MY first grandchild September 15th of this year. Just 7 days before my birthday. What a wonderful gift they are giving me.

Lauren, is my only daughter, and my baby. She is 9 going on 17 (she thinks - ha ha). Already has had 3 boyfriends, and has experienced her first kiss, on the cheek of course. Lauren & I have had a very stressful year this year.

Ok, other than my kids, (and my computer), I am a writer and a singer. I am in the process now of completing my first novel (a romance of course) and will be sending it to publishing houses soon.

I spent 3 years in the Army (most of the time in Germany) which is where I first got the singing bug. I traveled Germany with a band during my "off-hours". I have also sang with bands here in the states. Went to Nashville a few years ago and actually met Randy Travis and Reba McIntyre. What a day that was!!

I am into crafts heavily also. I crochet and do plastic canvas. Anyone need a tissue box cover? I have plenty of them.

Things I like: puppies, kittens, country music, southern gospel music, and my favorite movies are anything with Julia Roberts or Richard Gere. Favorite type of movies: westerns - My altime favorite movie is Lonesome Dove/Tombstone it's a toss up.


I have to say that THE most imprtant thing in my life is my faith in God and studying His word.

Ok, I guess I have bored everyone long enough. Saw this new one here and no one had posted in it yet, so, who's next????? Shortie? Sherrie?

Come on guys, don't be shy!!

Tracy

tracy-thanks for sharing with us-is great to know more about you-i too am a writer-write poetry/lyrics and hope to at some point write a novel --let us know when yours comes out- also i lived in germany 5 years-my dad was in the Air force-and i like richard gere too...he just looks better as he gets older....

sherri

ps-i'll post my "who i am" tomorrow-am too tired to think/concentrate that long right now....

Tracey:

I love to play around with writing also, but have never gone as far with it as you. I love to read and Music is the most favorite thing in my life. It is uplifting and upbeat.

I can sit for hours just listening to music. I do try to sing once in awhile. Even do some Karoke at times Ha Ha.

Nice to see something about you. This is a great forum


Donna

Donna, I love karaoke!!!! I go most Friday nights

Tracy

Thanks for your story. I also love writing, always have the idea in my head to write a novel...but I don't know how to start. :( Great to find out more about you!

Keep that karaoke machine away from me! I'm karaphobic! I don't sing! But I sure love to listen to others.. So, I actually have been to a bunch of karaoke bars.. (Can you tell I have been ambushed to get on stage??) I do good at piano bars though! JFYI! haha..

Tracy, I also like writing.. But, mine is more of a technicle nature. Have you ever thought about publishing your own material? I have studied a LOT about that and it is a very do-able thing now days.. Especially with stores like Amazon and programs setup by Barnes & Nobles.

Keep up the good work & thanks for the story..

David

David, no I haven't thought of that, does it cost a lot of money? Can you send me some info on it?

while we're talking about publishing. Darrell would like to get his poems published...any info about that?
