Barbara's Story
8/1/10
ok, so I'm going to start off by going backwards...I am currently an IT Manager for a non profit org in Kansas City, Mo. How I ended up here, like everything else about me, is a long story.
The short version is; I live here because a cat bit me. His name was Marvin! (Clarification... I do not own a cat nor many cats! I did not become the crazy old cat lady on the street. Don't get me wrong, I like cats but cats like children require commitment and let's just say that "I know I have 'cat' issues!"
Well, I am at work and can't really justify spending more time on this right now. I will add to the story as the days go on.
My life has been full of twists and turns and I am thankful for every minute of it!
I decided to take this little trip down memory lane after a web search for a copy of the song "Beautiful Savior" (That song, sung by ACAP members has brought me much comfort thru the years) - I found the DC Legacy Chior site and after a few more searches on names that I remembered, my searches landed me here.
OK, a few quick random facts
*Although I am an IT Manager, I am not a true tech geek.
*Since I have no children, I feel less mature than all you parents out there
*I am often considered the rational/prac...Expand for more
tical one in the group
*I still ride my motorcyle every chance I get
*I have 5 tatoos but I didn't get my first one until 3 days before my 40th b-day
*In my spare time I am into historical documentation
*while living in Dallas, I would attend Rider sporting events in The Colony. I am not fanatical but subtle in my support. To this day I feel lucky to be able to say that I am a Raider. (ok, that sounds like I am living in the past but I am not. )
*Everytime I visit WF - I drive by old steak house and remember Terri & Renee' and then I take a spin by Rider
*I still love seeing MSU at Christmas
*I still can't sing or dance but now I try more
*I so don't do drugs but I drink a little now. (3-5 times a year maybe...I just can't find a drink I like. Sugestions are welcome)
*I still can't spell
*I am a person of faith - but not a bible thumper. I will spare you my views
*I am still the "odd duck" - but I am better in social settings now!
*Everyday I wake up and try to be a better person but still be myself
Well, that is enough for now. If I don't get bored with this or my ADHD doesn't kick in, I will keep updating. (not because I think the masses care but I know it is frustating to click on a name you remember and have it be blank)
