I'm a 52 year old grandma, and live on the Big Island of Hawai'i. I do a bit of graphic art and dabble in all sorts of design. I'm married and have 2 sons, one daughter-in-law, 3 grandsons, 5 exchange student-daughters, a dog, 2 cats, 4 sisters, 3 brothers, a dad and stepmom and many many (I love them dearly, but please don't make me count) nieces, nephews, cousins, step-siblings, etc.
What is your current occupation? Do you enjoy it?
My first and main love is graphic design, but because I have a lousy marketing department (me!), I only do small jobs here and there. My main income (other than my husband) is from working with families that are having custody issues. And yeah, I do like that too.
|
What is your educational background? Are you currently in school?
Until I decided to not return to the field -ever- I was an RN. I gave up my license years ago. Other than my nursing degree, I have taken all sorts of miscellaneous classes that really amount to very little. I've learned much more by doing online tutorials or reading books. I also homeschooled my son for about 9 years, which taught me a LOT.
|
Describe your lifestyle and current relationship status:
Hmmm. Married. Pretty boring, old fashioned lifestyle, I guess.
|
Do you have any vices (smoking/drinking/etc)? Describe:
I eat too much and exercise too little. That's about it, tho I did smoke when I was young and stupid. I quit about 25 years ago.
|
Do you have any "heroes" in your life or your work? Describe:
Most people are heroes to me. Everyone has struggles and obstacles, and nearly everyone has something extraordinarily wonderful in them. It's just harder to find in some people.
|
What makes you happy? Why?
My family makes me happy.
|
What makes you sad? Why?
It makes me extremely sad that people are not allowed to make mistakes these days. Especially kids. When I was a teen I did lots of stupid, illegal, and dangerous things. I think most people did, got over it, and have had great lives. But these days, if a kid gets caught at anything, they're likely to have their life ruined by the punishment!
|
Describe your most "humbling" moment:
I have so many! Let me think about that.
|
Do you have favorite type of music? Favorite bands or singers?
I enjoy nearly any music where I can sing along.
|
What type of films do you enjoy? Please give some examples:
I mostly like chick flicks, but drama or sci fi is even better if it's quality.
|
Do you enjoy television? Which programs?
I do enjoy it... probably too much. My current favorites are probably Battlestar Gallactica, Heroes, Top Chef, 30 Rock, The Colbert Report, Family Guy.
|
Do you like to read? If so, what books have you enjoyed recently?
I read more non-fiction than anything else. I also like reading books by and/or about mediums, psychics, and the like.
|
Do you have any hobbies or other interests? Describe:
I garden quite a bit. Vegetables mostly.
|
Where are your favorite places? Where would you like to go most?
I LOVE to travel. I've been to 49 states (and look forward to seeing Alaska), Canada, and Mexico. I've also lived in Germany and did a lot of traveling around Europe. Of all that, my favorite place (other than home) would have to be Norway. The mountains and fjords are just incredible.
