Hi!
I'm a transplanted Texan who has lived in Alabama for the last 5 years. I was in the IT industry for 90% of my adult working career and was laid off (again) about 6 months ago so... I am undergoing a lot of personal growth and pursuing new things. (See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Isaiah 43:19) I've struck out on my own and am working on a freelance career in writing, editing, and moderating. Lil' bit scary but exciting as well. I can't wait to see what God does with it.
I'm a single mom to a <now> teen (eeek!). Actually, she's a pretty good kid and housemate. She's adopted from China and has my heart. We live with 4 rescued dogs...and yes, 4 dogs is TOO many. What was I thinking? Clearly, I was not thinking about all the hair!!
I consider myself to be pretty laid back and enjoy learning about people (while my career is in IT, my educational background is actually in Psychology and Writing). For those of you who keep track of that kind of thing, I'm an INFJ-A ("Advocate").
Other random facts: I bought my current house, sight unseen, on the Internet. (Totally God on that one.) I've been held at gunpoint by the Mexican Army. (I had great bladder control then so I was able to refrain from wetting my pants!) The weirdest thing I've ever eaten, on purpose, was fried jellyfish. (It was what I imagine chewing rubber would be like.) I watch the same movie (While You Were Sleeping) every time I am sick or too stressed because it gives me warm fuzzies.
Since I'm working from home now, I'm having a little bit of people withdrawals. I look forward to chatting with you here. Cheers!
