I just began college, for Paralegal Studies.

I sell online, mostly gifts and collectibles, on my personal web store.  I fix computers, but don't advertise it. Mostly people who know me call uopn me when need be, but I have had to tell friends that I have to charge them, too. It is a business. :o) I used to run ads for it, but had too many asking for free advice. I can't earn money that way. lol

I love computer repairs. I taught myself. When I was in middle school, I took some summer classes for computer programming and learned some things there, but the way I really learned was having my own and taking it apart and putting it back together. I worked for a friend, once, and he took one apart and left. There I was, looking at it. So, I decided to put it back together, and I hadn't watched him take it apart. I couldn't believe it! It turned on and worked. Wahoo! Of course, he was proud of me for that, too. But, working for friends doesn't work. We are still good friends, today, though, which is huge, because most friends I had worked for? We are not friends now. Friendship and business has to have boundaries. From what I have learned anyhow. :o)

I love music. Church songs, mostly, but I do listen to other music. Rock, country. I like some hard rock songs, but not too many. I like soothing music, not nerve racking, especially at my age. LOL

I play the guitar, just learning, but love it. I can't tune the thing, though. I always hurt myself. lol

I play the piano, self toguht. Just could not be patient with the lessons. I, mostly, play by ear.

I have a song on tape and will put that onto dvd, one day, and sell it. It is called the Caged Bird. A poem I wrote and friends put it to music, but it doesn't have my voice, yet. I want to do that. I know how, but haven't made the time.

I am in the process of writing poems and making cards to sell. I make business cards for people, too. A variety of things. I was thinking of naming my business "Many hats" instead of the woman with two hats. However that goes. lol

I write stories. Mostly fiction. One day, I may write a book, which I have always wanted to do, but a writer needs peace and quiet to do that, so that will be a while. :) Maybe when Taz is 2. lol

The other thing I do, I should say "we", my boyfriend and I. We are training our puppy. The picture you see on here is what he looked like before he got an attitude. ha ha

He is a mahogany fawn color, Boxer and he is almost 7 months old, heading toward 70 lbs. :) His name is Taz. Named after Titus and Zimm, our previous boxers. But his name, Taz, does suit him, as Tazmanian! ha ha

I am a believer in God. I pray every day. I do not go to church. I know. Bad. I have a hard time going out. Still can't figure that all out, but I have read the bible several times and am getting into correspondence bible studies again. I have seen many miracles. Of course, I have seen many bad things and have made it through them and believe that God brought me through them. I don't preach or push anyone to believe what I do, but I do insist that people respect what I believe in, especially when they are in our home.

And I have some rules, only having learned the hard way. I do not discuss religion, politics, or sexual preference in public, because that can turn into a fight. Like I said, I learned that the hard way. :o)

I just try to live my life and let others live their own. Accept everyone for who they are, as I would want others to do to me.

Hope all is well with everyone.
