About Me

Hi.

I am Jen. I am married, with one daughter. I live in FL. I am originally from Massachusetts(native Cape Codder!)and have lived in WV and PA as well. My family and friends are the best things I know. I am also a huge John Mellencamp fan.

I am a cat person. I love the outdoors. I do not get to camp often enough. I love to take pictures but in no way call myself a photographer.

I have a major shortage of patience, but I am loyal, honest, caring, and FUN.

I love to cook. My mom always cooked everything from scratch, and when my dad could no longer work, he took over the kitchen. Imagine my amazement upon realizing that he was Betty Freaking Crocker!

So, I have always loved to cook, and I have always thought it would be cool to be a chef. I ALMOST went to Johnson and Wales University when I graduated high school. That is one decision I fully regret. I love Chef Ramsay and never miss Hell's Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares.

I am a huge Survivor junkie, love 24, watch ALL of the CSI's and have a lifelong love of Wheel of Fortune! Hah.

I smoked for many years and am now fearful that I will die an awful death, as my dad did. Ugh. Have not had one since August of 2005.

I wanted two children. That did not pan out. I wanted a happily-ever-after. That did not pan out either. There may be an ever-after, I am just not sure how happy it will be, if it even happens at all.

My kid is awesomely amazing and I love her with every fiber of my being.
I love my mommy and I miss my daddy so very much.

I have no living grandparents.

I am a Gemini. I am true to the sign.

My favorite color is blue.

I will be 37 in June. I cannot even believe that. Wasn't I just 15?

I have no real regrets, other than not going to JWU. All the paths I have chosen, and the roads that I have been forced down, have made me what I am today. And I am pretty ok with who I am.

I have hypothyroidism and hypertension. I need to lose weight. Life-long battle there. Hoping to get a grip on that very very soon..

Aaand I think that is about it. Most of you know all of that stuff anyway!
:P
