1. Pixie's was found accidentally and is the only place I would feel comfortable enough to do this. Some days I'm a little more sage than others.

2. I am battling a weight demon. TOPS people are very supportive.

3. I have an AA degree in Journalism and am halfway through a degree in Environmental Studies.

4. I hate Las Vegas. I lived there for 17 years.

5. I have never been in love, and hope to be someday.

6. Sex with my husband is frustrating. He gets excited, has fantasies and then loses steam...right when I'm getting excited. So, I look for, and find, other things to interest me. I just feel like physical love is gone, you know?

7. My mother and I have spoken, twice, in the past 18 years. No, I don't like her. I am adopted. I overheard her say at a cocktail party one time, "Yes, we adopted her. It's really the fashionable thing to do." Go figure.

8. I was a certified Master Gardener in Nevada and am now in New Mexico. (The time and credit don't transfer from state to state.)

9. I desperately want to be happy. I'm very tired of being just "safe" or "okay". I married this husband because he's a good man and the kids were all taken care of. Does that make sense?

10. My German is rusty and I couldn't learn Spanish because I kept lapsing into German. I'm teaching myself Scottish Gaelic, which I find fun and interesting.
