I am married for 15 years this May 2007. I have 2 daughters, ages 20 (in college) and 12. We really enjoy our life here in CA. We just moved to a new town, not far from my former beach home and I'm enjoying having a back yard. I plan to get the soil in shape to plant a vegetable garden next spring.

I have a love/hate relationship with cooking. Some days I love it, some I'd rather eat out. It's much cheaper and healthier to eat at home so that's what we mostly do. I do love to take photos of the recipes I try. My family gives me a hard time about it (teasing), but they enjoy the end product!
Besides cooking, I have a hobby entering sweepstakes. I've been doing this for about 15 years. I've won a van (for my sister), a washer/dryer, money, and other fun things. If you want to join me in winning some prizes, come to www.online-sweepstakes.com and check out their website. Also, another way to win is to do your web searching on "Blingo" or "Winzy." (Google doesn't give you prizes!!) Click on the link buttons below and sign up and search every day to increase your chances of winning!

I love any kind of pie, fresh fruit salads, a good green salad and anything from the grill. I also like Italian food, Good Mexican Food, Chinese/Thai, Seafood and a really good Deli.
I don't like Lima beans, soy milk, corn when it's 'in' things and cooked raisins.
