kimberly's Story

fell in love with bodybuilding via then to be my future husband only to end with computer LANs & WANs was then bridge 3Com, now just 3Com. subsequently, moved to SO CAL for love and entered the banking industry.. . FIB: trust ops and HR ,2 hats in calabasas, marketing (transferred to downtown LA), retail planning. after the WFB merger, i was selected with shereen to be "the transition team," -- greatest job of my life -- woke at 430 am ran, then trained at the Y downtown and was to work by 7. trained again at lunch: double split, and then left for the day transferring all my calls to my cell or computer. . . like i said, bestt 11 mos and had enough severance i could have retired, but had a job lined up so took 2 mos off then worked for BONY, bank of new york, as trust administrator: it's debt service, very dull but billions are transferred via wires on debt service day. when u see this hwy or proj is funded by: those bonds have to be paid somehow and shareholders accounted for. well, that's what i did. a lot of math, very very boring!!. but once they learned i knew the computer very well, i took on proj after proj and it was hell.. . over worked and under paid to commute from MB to LA. tried some of the quiz's last night. think it's funny. candy and car are accurate - tho i can, tech terms, heel,toe and drift thru curves in our 911 or any rear wheel driven car. front wheel is much harder, but doable . . . ironically my mom taught me & my son is fantastic at it, much better than i. my son was signed at 7 to be a future pro skateboarder but my guy, a banker, squashed it. still my son got free decks and completes from lance. lived in so pass then; where van halen started out not far from dlr now. my son is a fantastic snowboarder too, he doesn't like my style cause im goofy, same as when i skateboarded as a kid, and did the usual 1/4-1/2 pipes and pools and ramps.yep always a tomboy! funny how our children out do us in soooo many areas, but it is as it should be, wish only the best for them. my son had to 1 up me, and do all the new stuff which i cant do. he ollie's and all the rest. i'll try to scan pics in. my guy is still with wells, but now evp of wells capital mgmt, and unfortunately, rarely home. he just came home last week after weeks away, and is off to London this afternoon. at least this time it's just for 1 week. for the most part, he's abroad w/ 1 wk in between, bit sad but ignites the passion and communication which after 21 yrs a lot of couples can lose and i'm thankful we haven't!! he still says i'm the sexiest woman he's ever known, but then i feel exactly the same lol. . my guy asked me a few yrs ago to retire, and i was delighted to be a full-time mommy again! they were children then /young adults now and are better for it. God bless him! We've suffered a many losses together--- his father first yr we met, then my f...Expand for more
ather from cancer in '04 and my brother whom i took care of on Oahu - north shore, when he dove off that famous rock in Waimea bay/near haleiwa and suffered a compression fracture of his cervical 5-7. so i tended to him for a month. prob only one to come back from HI without a tan ha ha ha . sadly, he died from homicide 4/22/10, and the guilty party is in jail awaiting trial and sentencing. one thing i'm most proud of is mending my dad and my bro's relationship 1 yr b4 my father's passing. i'm truly a private person, and am only now reaching out.. . .let's just say with my belief system and stepmom out of the room, i led my father across. why both my kids smoke is a mystery to me! so maybe those quizzes aren't so off, because i wrote this before taking the stupid tests and i said verbatim "i wear m heart on my sleeve."and it was a result of one of the quizzes. how funnnnnnyyyyy?! but what's up w/ the music. perhaps, they try to figure you out by the lyrics not the artist.because i didn't identify with any artist. i like all types but most country, that's my sis. seems to me all other songs were related to money or ditching guys so i had to select country. but deep down i'm a hard core rocker from 80's to present even marilyn manson, scorpions, van halen to the new stuff like slipknot, korn, defftones and the usual suspects. i like underground rap courtesy of my son like slug and murs, benefit and macleathel . . . .i'm prob way offf on the spelling . . . sage francis, but also have to say i give some mainstream guys credit but a select few: for example. tupac, notorious big & eminem: his style of rhyming is unusual and one-of-a-kind . conversely, i do have box seats at the Hollywood Bowl and love classical music and the ballet . . . was raised on it and offered the same experience for my guy the first 3 yrs as a b'day present.. so that's me in a nut shell. a proud mama, one who wears her heart on her sleeve and takes in strays. one who doesn't ask to be repaid unless u bite the hand that feeds u.then that promissory note will be in effect ha ha ha any other ques just write. i've been blessed with great fortune and have my parents and the Lord to thank for that. i've been lucky to have explored an amazing life abroad too much to encompass here, and want to be approachable at same time which is a daunting task. oh, so what do i do now . . . . good question. . . . . found out i don't suck at renovating houses and after my house and my son's, it caught like wildfire. God bless i have continual offers. plus, after a shoulder impingement from 80's style lifting and PT, i decided to fitness train or balance others so they wouldn't fall into the same trap as i did with upright rows ha ha ha. so i trained with NASM: national academy of sports medicine ~ 02. just can't be still, it is a curse. lol best to you and yours all now and always, kb
