    • About Me

      I am a freelance writer and ghost writer. I've written a lot of suspense novels, but of course, I can't mention them because I signed a non-disclosure agreement. Right now I'm writing my own novel and I get to put my own name as author (hoorah). Watch, it won't get published--that's my luck, lol. I have a wonderful husband, Dave, who is a Pension Actuary and a daughter, Crystal, who is 19, who is the light of my life. I want to get and stay healthy so I can play with her children (if she ever meets someone she dates more than a dozen times before finding something "gross" about him.

    • Interests

      I enjoy reading suspence novels and historical fiction. I love to dance. I make jewelry. I guess you could call me a gym rat. I don't miss a week, try to get there at least 3-5 days a week and have a wonderful personal trainer. I love the "Closer", all the "CSI"s and Chris Mathews and Keith Oberman. And I'm in love with Barack Obama (love all of his family but lust for the President.

      I am SO happy for you, both that you are feeling better and that you have dropped 32#. My surgeon asked me at my one week visit not to weigh in til I see him May 28th. I have complied...but at almost 6 weeks out dc, I have no idea how much i've lost. I will be shouting it next week...when I do hear....and can only hope I've done as well as you. Cindy in Fl

I've decided to have Roux en y gastric bypass surgery and had my first meeting with the surgeon yesterday. I may be having the surgery in about 6 weeks. I'm glad you all are here for support.
