PLEASE BARE WITH ME, I LOST MY DADDY/BEST FRIEND ON 3-23-09. I'M TRYING TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS. I PROMISE I WILL RATE AND GET EVERYTHING IN THE MAIL THAT NEEDS TO GET OUT ASAP.

I am a 28 year old wife and mother of a beautiful 11 year old girl. I also have 3 step-daughters, but they do not live with us. I work as a surgical technician aka surgeon's assistant at a nearby hospital.

I will rate everything I receive the day I pull it out of my mailbox! Please PM me if you do not receive a swap from me before rating, so that I may have the opportunity to resend if needed!

I received a postcard of a beautiful Avalanche from Colorado but it has no name on it. It only says "Here's my home sweet home." If you sent it to me, please pm me. I want to give the rating you deserve.

I am currently reading Eclipse, the third book in the Twilight saga! I also enjoy VC Andrews books.

I enjoy almost all kinds of music, just not classical. My favorites are '80s hair bands, Metallica, and modern day country.

All my friends at work are on my case right now cause I haven't seen many movies. A few of my favorites are: Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Armaggedon, Jumanji, all of Morgan Freeman movies. I absolutely love Morgan! I am also a big fan of "chick flicks!"

I am a major reality TV show junkie! I love Big Brother, Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Biggest Loser, Grey's Anatomy, ER, Desperate Housewives and many others. Yes, I know not all of those are realities.

I collect a lot of things ... am a big pack rat. Bad me! I am collecting postcards from around the world right now. I am a member of postcrossing.com and absolutely love it. Love the scenery view ones. I am very interested in learning all about the different cultures in the world. I use to collect bells from everywhere when I was younger and I still have that collection.

I can't wait to get more involved with Swap-Bot and can get the nerve to participate in different swaps, other than postcard ones. Maybe one day I'll even attempt to make something ... am definately not the crafty type. My husband tells me that I am NOT an interior decorator either lmao!

Purple's, blue's, blue's & chocolate, light pinks and chocolate, Peanut Butter M&M's, Reese's Pieces, Coconut, White Chocolate, Caramel, Lottery Tickets, Dreamsicles, PC games, Pogo.com, Postcards, Family, Chimpanzees, the Australian and English accents ... I also love cute little socks (size 10-11 shoe)

Britney Spears, Crickets (will climb a wall to get away from them), Cockroaches, Spiders, Bugs in general, Germs (from Walmart shopping carts and gas pumps), Dark Chocolate (even though they say it's good for you)

I love scents, but please no flowery scents. I have 3 dogs ... Gracie, who is a mutt, Buddy, a Pomeranian, and our new puppy, Rocky, (got him on 3-1-09) is a miniature weenie dog.
