About Me
I have been married to my wonderful husband for 10 years, though we've been together 17 years. I have 3 cats, a dog (wolf/dog hybrid), & fish. I have a what can be considered a "weird" sense of humor--punning & snappy comebacks are usually my fortes. Any thing else, you're just gonna have to ask me. There's only so much I can remember & write here.

Interests
I like NASCAR (Elliott Sadler #19), Knitting, Cross-stitch, Role Playing Online & Regular, Reading--Fantasy, SciFi, Paranormal Romance, & Buddhist teachings. I have been studying Buddhism for almost 5 or more years now, & many times it helps me re-focus & think in more positive ways. I like to watch House, Bones, Hell's Kitchen, Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares & the Revisited ones he does on BBC, & others. I'm a cartoon/animation afficianado, and enjoy comedy when i can get it.

Close Hysterectomy
I had my a full hysterectomy that took all but my cervix due to a Severe Case of Endometriosis. This was 8/27/07. I still have pain if i do too much, even though it's 1 year later.
Treatments
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- When the hurt of it hits, it's like a ton of bricks. I"m slowly learning to let go of the pain that I feel "neutered" & "robbed" of having children In my life.
Open Healthy Relationships
I've been w/my husband for 17 years, married 10 of those. We've always had communication probs, helped by couples counseling many years ago after an affair I had. He told me at one point that he feels more like "room mates" than a couple.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
- It helped for a while, but I feel like we lost the knowledge.
- Talking Not Working
- I freeze up & studder. I get very subserviant & act like a child being scolded. I don't stand up for myself for the most part. I also feel like a "deer in the headlights"--my brain goes suddenly blank.
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- I get my thoughts & feelings out, but don't transfer that knowledge to my relationship.
Open ADHD / ADD
I've been diagnosed w/this since I've been here in Charlotte (which is 3 yrs now). Sometimes I feel like I have the attention span of a 2 year old. The shirt i saw once seems VERY apprepeau--"They say I'm ADD. I don't know what they--Oh LOOK! A chicken!"
Treatments
- Adderall Not Working
- i was all over the place. I couldn't concentrate worth a damn. It harmed rather than helped.
- Music Somewhat Helpful
- Can reflect my mood, but sometimes keeps me in bad place.
- Research Somewhat Helpful
- Learning about this helps, though I'm always finding something new when I thought I "knew" what was going on.
