My son will be 21 this Sept. I pray he has enough sense to NOT do the 21 shot binge at the stroke of midnight.

I would try to play piano except my son is sleeping in the day when hubby is gone. Son works 6pm -2am in a bakery.

Wish I could say magic words to comfort Becky (bcsimpson) in Chicago.

Daily, I deal with confusion of what I can do and why I want to do it.

About 8 years ago, I developed an allergy to any makeup. Cannot wear eye makeup...my eyes matter shut if I do. This fact adds to my low self esteem...don't feel pretty especially around those who do wear makeup.

Before I was a photographer, I was painfully shy. Having a camera in my hand gave me the 'right'(courage) to approach people and strike up a conversation...cause I needed to get them in a picture. After 20 years, I feel naked going to a party without a camera in my hand. Guess it's back to the painful shyness.

Duh, I had a most difficult time coming up with the first 100 things about me and here I am adding more after the fact.

My home is tan with blue trim. (vinyl siding)

I've never been arrested....a few speeding tickets, though, but we won't go into that.
