Ok... so info about me... hmmm...

I am married to my high school sweetheart.

I used to live in the Bahamas for a year and a half  - more info see #7
 
I own 8 sewing machines - 6 sewing machines: 2 are antiques and are lovely pieces of furniture in my home (one was my grandmothers), 2 really need to go but haven't been able to give them up yet, 1 embroidery machine and a machine for my kids since I get heart palpitations when they want to use my machine, a serger and a coverstitch machine.  I have hardly used them in over a year and working hard to change that.

Mr. D and I like to restore American Classic & Muscle cars - currently extra fun restoration cash is low (blame braces for 2 kids) - so restoration projects are slow!  We are taking our 1st generation Camaro on the Route 66 Fun Run cruise in a few weeks with  - totally excited about it!

I have a texture problem with food - extremely picky about many items.  I will not eat anything that has swam (fish, shellfish, clams - ICK!).  I like ketchup/spaghetti sauce - hate tomatoes, will not eat any melon of any kind, no nuts thank you very much... the list is pretty extensive.

I am a perfectionist and a procrastinator.  I am trying to be better - in the procrastinator area and less of a perfectionist - it is difficult.

My birth mother put me in foster care when I was 6 to be with a man, the State of Arizona revoked her parental rights to me at age 10 and I was adopted by my foster family at age 12 (same foster family).  I had lived in the Bahamas with my aunt (her sister) from age 4 1/2 to 6 while she was going thru a divorce.  I truly believe that things happen for a reason and know that my life would not be what it is today if it was not for those decisions that were made.   (oh, and she is still with that man - again... Google).

    Ok ... so 15 blogs to pass the award to... I will do my best...
    it is late and I keep losing my post I will add more later :)
