Exploring Funky

I got tagged! This is my first time actually. I always wanted to get tagged. It's kinda like school days when you hoped you would be picked quickly for the Dodge ball or Red Rover-Red Rover game. So, I'm IT!@!!!!!!

Stacey tagged me and here are my answers Ms. Stacey. But first, I must say that some thought has gone into my answers. Mind you, I have a 45 minute drive to and from work every day so I probably have a little too much time to think. Some thoughts about this tagging and revealing about one's self; First, you have to consider how much you want to reveal about yourself. What parts of your self are you willing to share? How much do really want others-(in the internet world) to know about you? What will they think of you? What if you are too boring or to risque or just plain weird? See....I have too much time to think. So, I decided, I would try to be as honest as possible. Those who love me...love me because of who I am. All of my flaws and imperfections. It's all part of the package. So, here I go...

What were you doing 10 years ago?

I was working for a home health company in Big Spring, Texas as a Nurse Case Manager. It was a good company for the most part. My son was all involved in baseball, and both of my kids were in school. I was on call a lot of times and so many times our life was interrupted for me to go and see patients on our services. Everything in those days was about Mama's job. Shew...I don't miss those days/nights. We were a busy little family.

What were you doing 1 year ago?
I was working for a company called Sempercare Hospital...it was a long term acute care facility and it was such a good company and I had such a great boss and CEO.. But, the company was bought out by another company whose name I will not mention because they don't even deserve to have their name mentioned....The transition was not smooth and I did not like what was going on so I found another job with a great little Mom and Pop Home Health company called HomeCare Plus as a marketer which is where I am today!

3. Take my husband to Ireland and other places we would like to travel to together


4. I guess this falls under family but I would want to help my son and daughter be financially set for life. I would like to help my son start some kind of business as he is quite the entrepreneur. I would want to help my daughter set up some kind of program to help children with disabilities because she has a special place in her heart for these and abused children.


5. Me and my husband would retire. I would go everywhere; to include other countries to study art techniques and styles and I would do art whenever and wherever I wanted. FUN!!!!!

Five favorite toys:

2. My Dremmel-it has been so handy in my art-it drills, has a wood burner, screws, unscrews, it can do anything!


3. My Satellite Radio: I have become addicted to the Martha Stewart Station and the eighties station and so many others. I love my satellite (Sirius) radio!!!! It helps me cope with that long drive to and from work.


4. My digital camera-It's a Kodak and I have it ready at all times
