Proud "Mommy" of 8 years old Pomeranian name Precious. Have different sense of humor! (that's what everyone say). Raised in rural Idaho & will always be native Idahoan in my heart! went on endless travels after high school. proud of my Irish & German hertiage. Still searching for my birth family. Am proud aunt of 2 nieces and 4 nephew.
I am currently a dedicated volunteer at DQRC based in San Francisco, California, for over a decade. Was selected to be the new editor of DQRC international FLASH newsletter with over 10,000 subscribers worldwide. What a honor! Am involved in various projects for several organizations donating my free time. Also attending City College of San Francisco for SECOND degree... crazy & busy for me! Life can't get any sweeter than that!!!
I'm well known as Super "Nanny 411" (instead of Nanny 911) as my friends affectionately call me because of my thrist for vast knowledge. (psst... here's my secret. I actually don't know everything! but nobody know that yet. LOL).
I love traveling... been to various places. It'd be cool to be able to take a cruise overseas! I don't mind living in Hawaii cruising the sandy beaches there & swimming with dolphins (or keep one as a pet!). Can't I dream?!?! Now am planning an Alaskan cruise end of 2007. WOW! Going to be fun seeing whales, dolphins and go on nature excursions to see wild animals. whoo whoo!

Carpe Diem!
I am in relationship with lovin' partner BabyPacker for the over 4 years who put up with my personal crap. My life is endlessly enriched with my extended family. Many thanks to my close friend (more likely my nutty sidekick) Steph T. for being part of my life and making sure I don't lose my sanity!!! *grin* ... Also, million thanks to Drago for our enduring friendship and his confidence in my endless contributions to the DQRC community.
Met Arnold Schwarzenegger in person at a work function in 2004 whom I idolized since I was a kid watching him & Lou Ferringo do weightlifting contests. He look larger than life and bit older. Thanks for the handshake, dude!
Here's his old clip of him in "Pumping Iron" movie smokin' a joint!
His Quote: "Having a pump is like having sex. I train two, sometimes three times a day. Each time I get a pump. It's great. I feel like I'm coming all day." Hasta la vista, baby!

We wanted to give all our friends a gift, so here's the gift of film; a tastefully sized web video player running a couple of hours worth of the best short films in the world to you, for free (some people expect you to pay for films you know). Perhaps the coolest thing of all is that it even updates when we add a new film each week. So, enjoy the gift, watch some films, and if one isn't grabbing you hit the >| icon to skip to the next one or you can hit the book icon for more info on a film and links to the filmmakers, there's all kinds. Have a great week! xCoffee
