Life Quote that describes my life: "It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a tank full of gas and half a pack of cigarettes. It's dark and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it" - The Blues Brothers I'm still "the queen of it seemed like a good idea at the time." Gosh, if I had a nickel for every time I've done something stupid in my life.. actually, I would have spent all of it by now. 90% of my millions would have gone to travel, wine, boyfriend hunting. shoes and jewelry and I would have wasted the rest on things like food and shelter... So tell me, where have all those years gone? Just yesterday I was 16 and hot to trot (and once this new hip and knee get healed, I know I'll be back) My life has really changed since high school-I've had 7 jobs, 2 major career changes, 3 major relationships and have lived all over the US, Japan and Europe -- more than 25 places at last count. I've got 3 kids (Sarah, born 1983), Josh (1986), Julia (1988), 5 dogs and 3 cats. I raised my kids as a single mom.

It's a cool place to live. We travel a lot, laugh and drink a lot of wine. Being with him makes me happy. I've been involved in some great inventions and worked really hard in my life, but I'm more or less retired now. I probably still should work harder, but that's gonna start only sometime after my next Starbucks break and after I give the kids and hubby a hug. After a certain point, you realize life is more important than work. I'm still a very private person (you'll think you know me if you don't know me). I don't carry tales, but have some great sto...Expand for more
