Retired after working 25 years in the V.P. law department at a large health sciences university. If I never see another contract--no problem :-) Thoroughly enjoying my retirement. Currently editor of two sites at BellaOnline.com and owner of a 15 year direct selling home business through Watkins, I specialize in herbs, spices and flavorings. You can visit my links below.
My Watkins sister site is A Better Cook. Additionally, I have a seldom updated movie review Blog titled Going to the Movies with Vannie as a result of writing movie reviews for an online site.
Online everyday writing and working until about 3:30 or so. I love working from home, I am able to get away for long weekends every two months or so. Of course, I take my trusty laptop along--life has never been better.
Outside activities include working with community, advocate and civic organizations; have become chair of two. I am also on the editorial board (fiction section) of Mused-BellaOnline Literary Review Magazine @ http://www.bellaonline.com/review/
My favorite way to spend an evening is with a book. This is not something I found recently. The day I became engaged (I was in my early 20's) my mother told my honey that he should know that (1) I spent a lot in time at the library and (2) liked to walk in the rain. It drove her crazy that I would go out the minute it started to rain. I still love rain and books! The only thing missing are my 2 long ago and still missed cats, Sammy and Peggy.

Ibsen's play "A Doll's House", J.D. Robbs "In Death" series, mysteries, cozies, multicultural romance, biographies, contemporary novels. Have re-read Steinbeck, Hemingway, Joyce, etc., just to see if I "can go home again." Have found that I can do so nicely by reading Elizabeth Barrett Brownings, "Sonnets from the Portuguese" and Gordon Parks, "Gordon Parks: whispers of intimate things."

"None of us is defined by our circumstances, nor are we defined by how other people perceive us. It is up to each one of us to define ourselves, and that is a life's work. Each of us has the ability to lead a dynamic life by pursuing our unique goals and dreams. There are no limits to what you can do." - Stedman Graham

| You Are a Conservative Democrat |
 You pride yourself on a high level of morals, and you have a good grasp on right and wrong. It's likely you think America needs to get back to its conservative, Judeo-Christian values. Why aren't you a Republican then? Because you believe the government helps more than hurts. |

I'm a Ford Mustang!
You're an American classic -- fast, strong, and bold. You're not snobby or pretentious, but you have what it takes to give anyone a run for their money.

I'm a Mandarin!
You're an intellectual, and you've worked hard to get where you are now. You're a strong believer in education, and you think many of the world's problems could be solved if people were more informed and more rational. You have no tolerance for sloppy or lazy thinking. It frustrates you when people who are ignorant or dishonest rise to positions of power. You believe that people can make a difference in the world, and you're determined to try.

| You Would Be a Pet Cat |
 And as for other people, you can take them or leave them. You often don't care. You live your life by your own rules. And you have deep motivations that no one truly understands. Why you would make a great pet: You're not needy or greedy... unlike other four legged friends. Why you would make a bad pet: You're not exactly running down to greet people at the door What you would love about being a cat: Agility and freedom What you would hate about being a cat: Being treated like a dog by clueless humans |
