    • About Me

      Diagnosed with bipolar II about 5 years ago and recently "upgraded" to bipolar I. I am on my third marriage. We've been together for 5 years and married for four. We have 3 children - girl 12 and boy 15 who are mine and a boy 18 who is his. We live in a small farmhouse on 78 acres just outside a small town but I work in the closest big city which is about a 40 minute drive. I am a project manager for software application development.

    • Interests

      I am interested in just about anything "crafty". My favorites are counted crosstitch, crochet, and scrapbooking. I am also an avid reader. Lately I've been on a sci-fi kick but I go through phases with various genres.
