Well, let's see... besides being a superb web mistress and proud mother... I'm 46 and divorced as of September 2009... I'm doin' a happy dance as I type! And before you ask, yes I can dance and type!!!

I used to handle catastrophic auto injury claims with a dab of litigation, but was laid off July 2008. I'm in search of good employment, but until then I'm going to school, at night, to get my AA and certificate through the paralegal program at my local college. Then I'll transfer to San Jose State for my bachelor's degree. I also enjoy shooting pool, art, music, theatre, parasailing, bicycling, cruises, dancing, mysteries in books or movies, cooking and baking. I'm a native northern Californian, and live with my son who brings me a great deal of joy, and love more than anyone else in the world! He's also an extremely talented drummer... and no bias, honest truth! He's damn good!

My shining star Jason.

My beautiful mother!

I've never known a smarter, stronger, more loving, compassionate, kinder person in my life! She's multi-talented and in part, loves to cook, read, garden and party. Any social event is a lot more fun when she's around! Check out her sites Krystal Star and Family of Witches, they are superb!

Cocoa in a bag. I don't get the attraction but I had to capture the moment.

I was born and raised in San Jose with the exception of a year in Ireland as child. My mom's plan was to buy a pub (bar/eatery) and remain there. We initially lived in the Hotel Vic and were in the room next to Richard Harris. Later we moved to a flat (apartment) and then a house in the country with a huge potato farm. We had horses, a pony, my dog Rocky and the river Shannon was a short walk down the road. I was just starting to learn Gaelic when we returned to the States. It was an awesome experience and I look forward to visiting again some day soon.

Well... that's about it. I hope you're enjoying your stay in the garden 'cause I had a great time putting it together!
