Hi everybody

I'm trying to find a nice balance in my life. I work at home after realizing my daily work commute was stressing out my life and cutting into the quality of my life. I love being a supportive ear to other women and try to be a role model whenever possible. I love art, street fairs, outdoor events, drives to interesting places on weekends, sports, people watching, sculpting, volunteer work, hiking, fine food and greasy-spoon joints (by recommendation). I'm a news-aholic in ways - I love CNN, Drudge report, Huffington Post, Larry King, Date Line and 20/20...oh and I read a newspaper eveyday. My dog, Gunner is going thru some heavy anti-biotics currently. Thought it was a tumor but the vet's say with 15 days of 4500 milligrams (20 pills a day) we can "git er' done" without surgery. I recommend animals for everyone. My 175 lb french mastiff brings me joy everyday. He saved a little 9 yr old girl out of the Sacramento River last summer- by instinct after hearing her screams. Swimming up stream with her blouse collar in his mouth....go figure. God bless all you ladies...I look forward to corresponding with you. Until then, don't sweat the small stuff and remember....Life - the ultimate indulgence !
