Drum Roll….Da Daaaa 7 Things About Myself:
1. I’ve been wearing my locs hairstyle—not dreads—there’s a difference, since 2001. Currently, the tips of ’em touch my buttock. Do I want them to exceed that, yes. 🙂
2. September 12th will be my 34th Anniversary with my fun-loving-wonderful-handsome husband.

7. Child care provider and owner of a family daycare/business. I love the independence. Every now and again I see a couple of the former daycare children, now teenagers. It brings me to tears. They started out in my daycare at 6 week’s young. My, my, my how they’ve grown!!
