My husband adopted my daughter when she was very young. I have 2 awesome stepsons and 2 equally awesome grandkids that we get to spend alot of time with! Oh, and of course my granddog, Tyra!

My hobbies are, Indy, cooking, watching movies and tv and homemaking.

That's about it! Now I would like to know about all of you! Have a great weekend!

Nice to meet you guys. 

[Mai Tai]

Hi, I am Karen and I am married to Charlie.  We have 5 daughters, ages 23, 11, 11, 11, and 11.  We live in NJ, though I am originally from Staten Island, NY and he is from Queens, NY.  I am a stay at home mom for obvious reasons and my husband is a manager for the NYC Transit during the day and an employee at Home Depot in the evening.  We have 2 cats, Merry and Gilly (Short for Gilligan), and of course 2 dogs, Mai Tai and Mojito.  My hobbies include trying to clean my house, feed my kids, take care of the animals, and not lose my mind.  I am currently thinking I am nuts for having adopted another shorkie, as Mai Tai will not leave him alone for one stinkin' minute!!!!  Hopefully, this will change as they get used to each other, or one of them will have to go, and it won't be Mai Tai.  I love Mojito, but don't know how much he can take.  Anyway, I am going off subject.  I really enjoy this site and all of your input.  Nice to meet all of you and speak to you almost daily.

Oh, and Happy Anniversary Cash.  Hope you do something fun.

I have been a pharmacy technician since I was 16 yrs old and I will be 33 on Tuesday.

Allyson (happy birthday by the way!), I am also a pharmacy technician, and have been since I was about 18!  I'm 28 now, and I'm working at the same pharmacy!  I've worked a couple other places over the years, but this store is like home to me!  
It's so nice to hear from everyone.  My name is Stephanie, and I introduced myself on the board before, so I hate to repeat myself .  My husband is Toby, and we were married for a year in May.  No kids yet, just my fat cat and now, Fletcher  .  We live in a small town in central PA.  We've been working on fixing up our house for about a year now, so that keeps us pretty busy!  Nice to meet all of you...  I love this board!

[angiemcclain]

Yes, Happy Anniversary Cash! And Happy Birthday tomorrow Allyson!
