Barbara's Story

Life hmm, my life in a nut shell.Engaged from 19-25 to my highschool sweetheart, Larry. He broke my heart so I moved to Florida and toured for 6 years with an all girl band named ZeBond.Hard rock, southern rock and metal...imagine me in spandex. Played Bass and Guitar and sang. Toured up and down the east coast and did a 9 week tour in Ontario, Canada. That's where I met my hubby, Tim. He was our touring light and soundman. Married at 34... do it right once or don't do it at all ! I had my daughter Sarah when I was 39 and Steven at 40. They're just 18 months apart. They are beautiful, funny and stubborn as can be. I had my own painting and wallpapering company for 18 years. Got a bill, paint a house, no bills due this week and we'd drag our loungechairs out into the Atlantic in Cocoa Beach. MTV, guitar, gigs and basically a beach bum for 6 years 'til I met Tim. He's my stability. I want to jump first and I'm very unorganized, maybe that's not the correct word. I am organized in true Aries fashion, don't touch my piles, for I know which pile of stuff what I'm looking for is in. Sad but true. I love the creative side of painting. Faux finishing, marbelizing, french washes, a very profitable thing to do but with the 40's coming on, extention ladders and sore muscles, (come on..are the 40's being good to you?) we had this crazy idea and one year later, Bounce Magic opened it's doors. Our kids are a huge inspiration and help with what's 'cool'. Love the fact that we let parents and grandparents play with their kids on the inflatables. I myself, will never grow up and I refuse to grow old, even if my body is tellin...Expand for more
g me the opposite. My kids keep me young. Bounce Magic keeps me young and I think I'm aging pretty gracefully concidering I recently celebrated the 12th anniversary of my 36th birthday. Hey, does anyone know whatever happened to Mary Cromp? I remember the pumpkin she stamped in bright orange on my nose in first grade and Mrs. Hurley giving me one of the wooden rulers to slap her hands with, only I never did get to slap the second one because I nailed the first hand so hard she wet her pants and locked herself in the bathroom. Who knew that the timid little new girl had such strength? I'm hugely absorbed into Scouting. Service Unit Manager for W. Seneca South, leader of two troops and Service unit cookie manager. Hey, does anyone want to buy some Girl Scout Cookies ??? Free time...what's that? I average 4 to 5 hours sleep a night. Love to cook, hate cleaning and laundry, love being creative and crafts, dislike customers who complain about anything just to try to get something for nothing, love to see smiles on childrens faces, camping and a wicked lightening storm. Hate exercise and dieting so I don't do either, have very few close friends but even less enemies. As I recall, I really hated high school and couldn't wait til it was done. To only go back and do it now. I still wouldn't study, I'd have black hair with bright purple tips, love the 70's look w/ the hip huggers and platform shoes, take music more seriuosly and maybe even persue college, but having gotten to where I am now, there's very little I'd change. I'm content with my crazy, active life! and I wish you health and happiness, too! Peace, Barb
