I've been married to my husband for almost 8 years. We started dating during my junior year of high school and in May we'll be together for 13 years. That's right - we dated and lived together for 5 years before we were married. We've certainly had our share of rough times but they've never been something we couldn't overcome. I'm truly blessed to have him in my life.
I'm a perfectionist! I don't think my family likes that very much but oh well. I have to have things written down and planned or they don't get done. Maybe that's been part of my problem with weight loss. Hmmm, that's something to think about.
I'm also a sarcastic person. Oh man, do I love sarcasm. I always have a witty comeback. :-) I do my best to spare the feelings of others and to be respectful and tactful. I don't like confrontation and have a difficult time saying no to certain people.
As I've mentioned several times before, I go to school full time working toward my degree in business administration. Not to toot my own horn, but I currently have a 3.98 GPA with one semester to go! Told you I'm a perfectionist.
I love all kinds of things. I enjoy several genres of music - country, classical, R&B...anything but bluegrass. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes but I don't get to do much of that these days. I love the classics, like Charles Dickens, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, etc. I also love reading the Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell.
I love video games. I'm not into the shoot 'em types but I love Mario Brothers. We bought a Wii last summer and it's so much fun. I can't afford the Wii Fit but I love the tennis and bowling. There are so many games I want to get that I've started a list so nothing gets left out.
My family often tells me I'm a workaholic and I may very well be. I work from home as a virtual assistant. Many people may not know what that is, so I'll fill you in. A virtual assistant is basically an at-home administrative assistant. We can do just about anything an in-house admin assistant can do except bring you your coffee. I have 2 full-time clients who keep me very busy.
I got into the virtual assistant industry when I left my last traditional job. There's nothing like an employer telling you to choose between your family and your job to make the decision a no-brainer. I've been working as a VA for almost 3 years now and I love it. I'm here to get the boys on the bus and I'm here when they get home. No daycare or gas expenses for me! There are times when it's very difficult to work from home. Take the summer months for instance. When the boys are home, it's very difficult to keep them confined during my work hours.
I think I'm pretty much addicted to my laptop. I use it for work, school, and personal things, like Facebook, blogging, Twitter, etc. Before I got my BlackBerry, I would take my laptop just about everywhere. When we would take day trips, I'd take it along so I can work in the car. My wonderful husband bought a neat power converter that plugs into the cigarette lighter outlet in the car. I plug my laptop into that and I've got power.
Feel free to add me as a friend on Facebook but be sure to send a little note letting me know who you are. You can also follow me on Twitter but I don't tweet as often as I should. I'm trying to get better about that but you know how things go.
So, that's pretty much me. I'm sure I've left out some things but you'll get to know me by reading my posts. When writing, I don't hold back on anything! Oh, one more thing - I can have a temper sometimes. ;-) There may be times when I use foul language but I'll do my best to keep it PG.
I hope 2010 is treating you well thus far. Happy New Year!
