Who I am

I am a King’s Kid.
I have Faith.

I like farmers markets, cupcakes, and Martha Stewart.
In fact, I used to think I would like to be re-incarnated as her....I’ve grown out of that thought.

I love to bake, and create.

I love the color purple, especially auburgine. If your a woman you know what color I mean, if your a man, I just like purple.

I am stubborn….and impatient.

I love to read, even things like poetry, and Shakespeare. There is a lot of beauty to be found in words.

I have 5 sons that have Down syndrome, they rock that extra DNA.... it does not define our family.

I love my mini-van’s DVD player. If it were a person, I would hug it everyday.

I am intolerant of rudeness, ineptness, and loud “boom-boom music” from cars.

I love to twirl in circles, dance while cooking, and sing off-key.

I have more faith in mankind than I should, I often get burned by it. I love too freely, trust too openly, and give too much.

I love the ocean, but am deathly scared to be in the deep end of a “too big” pool.

I'm conservative although most of my friends are liberal. Go figure.

I say things I shouldn’t, before I even realize I have said them. My mind just happens to think a little faster than my mouth.

I like the smell of citrus, a bleach cleaned house and my youngest son, pee wee.

I love to write and have been writing in some form since first grade.

I abhor ignorance, lack of common-sense, numbers, selfish people, and HTML.

I have extremely strong held beliefs that I will fight for... hell or high water.... Adoption over abortion and Biological children are no more significant than adopted children!

I like to daydream…… a lot.

I love my Mom.

I sort the laundry by both color and texture (reds/oranges, blues/greens, white towels, white tees, etc). It leads to lots and lots of laundry. I’m a little OCD here.

I love to take pictures, but I by no means know what I am doing.

I live in the Northwest, but am a Caribbean girl at heart.

I am a Survivor (the TV show) junkie. I like Bon Jovi and “chick flicks.”

I have a child, actually 2, just like me......... even though they are adopted. You were right Mom.

I love the spontaneity of “little adventures.” It’s a little harder with 5 kids, but we still manage some great spontaneous day trips.

I have close family (read that as NOT all) and Quasi-family of chosen friends. We love each other despite all of our quirks. We are all “SPIRITED”. These are my people. They are who I am, they define me.
