about me

I am a single parent. I have been divorced since December of 2006. This was a life altering choice for me that has made me happier. I am finally in a state of mind that is healthy. I love my little girl so much. Well she isn't exactly little anymore. She is 5 now. I like to cook just not creative at all when it comes to cooking. I am trying to learn. I want so very badly to teach my daughter how to cook!! My Mom made everything from scratch and never taught me how to cook. I don't want my daughter illiterate in the kitchen!! I love my crock pot and use it a lot.

I use to spend so much time on here, and then things changed. I was working in a factory and worked a lot. Then in November of 2006 I was in a car accident. I was no longer able to do my job. I went into a very deep depression. This depression still rears its ugly head at times, yet I have been able to beat it and over come it. I have made some pretty awesome friends that have been the very vital key in my life in getting me back on the right track. They are my life line and they are my new family. If they ever read this, I just hope they know how much I love them and how much they have changed my life for the better. I love you both.

In June of 2007 the factory fired me and I got a job in a Department store. I loved being around people. I did not so much like the hours since they were everywhere. I did not get to spend the time I wanted with my Daughter. Well they solved that problem for me in April of 2008 when they fired me for not making my sales quota. I left with a smile, since I know that they fired me because I would not lay down and allow people to walk all over me. So I was free. I had just paid off my car with my taxes, and was pretty much dept free. So I went looking for a new job.

I did get a job working at a call center. It is not the best job in the world, yet I love the hours. I work from 8 to 4 Monday through Friday. No evenings and no weekends. I have become spoiled in the year that I have been there, and I don't know if I could go back to work on weekends. I can spend so much time with my girl since I work while she is in daycare. She starts school in August of this year

I did have issues with internet, and went through a period of no internet, except through my cell phone. I have just recently acquired my own internet, that gives me access all of the time.

I am hoping to get Zaar back in my life again. I have placed this on the back burner in my life for far too long. I have had so many things in my life to overcome and I think I am getting my life stable again. I have come to realize that with a divorce and a child that you can never get yourself away from their, "illnesses" I guess is a good way to put it.

I was trying at one point to get Zaar back and I signed up for some contest and I ended up not being able to complete it. I was SO ashamed and disappointed in myself that I decided to vanish. I dropped completely out of Zaar. I have been wanting to come back, yet I was so afraid of it happening again. SO I have decided that I need to get back onto the horse. I am going to do it slowly this time and see how it goes. I only hope that I have not disappointed anyone to the point they do not wish me back again.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me I hope I did not bore you to death!!

Favorite Foods:

I like Mexican food and some Vietnamese food as well. I like pizza, some Italian, and of course the good ole American Grease food.

I use to work with a lot or Vietnamese, Korean, Hispanic and Loas people and I got some of their recipes from them.

I am starting to watch what I eat and am in the slow process of wanting to eat healthy and loose some weight. So I need to work with some food that will be EASY and INEXPENSIVE to make and yet still be good for me. As well as TASTE good. I have just recently learned the fun of seasoning. I have never really seasoned my food before and since I have, WOW it is nice to eat food with TASTE... LOL
