About Me
I am a teen librarian at an urban public library. In addition, I have 3 sons, who are 16, 18 and 22. The two younger ones are still in high school but the oldest is a 2LT in the U.S. Army and recently got engaged to a beautiful fellow 2LT. My passions are reading, swimming, listening to music and watching old movies. Oh, and I also like to make things, sometimes not successfully, but I have some skill creating earrings out of beads I buy. My other ways to relax including cooking and walking.Recent Entries
