Places I've been

I'm an Oilfield Brat so I've been to a lot of West Texas Places while growing up. Since then, I've visited a few cities I probably wouldn't have ever seen - all because my youngest daughter played on a travel softball team until she started college. Plenty of places left, tho, that I would like to see .. I especially would like to go to the Diamond Field in - is it Alabama? (Arkansas? heck.. you know where I mean, right?)... hmmm you know what they say- diamonds are a girl's best friend!

Education

• Some College, Insurance Agent - 1972 to 2007

More about me

About me, eh? Well, let's see: I'm 59 but look about 48. I'm now single, not my choice, but am moving on (or at least trying). I try to treat people the way I want to be treated and kill with the kindness the ones I can't. I have friends that have been my friends for 20 years or more and will be till the day we/I die - thank God for good friends. They are our Angels here on Earth.

I'm pretty much a "what you see is what you get" person. I'm serious, sometimes too much; I like a good joke and I have a great sense of humor-when things are too serious or nasty, I tend to try to laugh at it or myself and loosen the tension-I do have a sarcastic wit-some people just don't get that life is toooo serious - toooo short --- so LIGHTEN UP for GOD's sake!

 I work hard (but I'm tired), I'm honest to a fault (but will tell a "little white lie" sometimes to save a friends' feelings); I pretty much lay my cards on the table, so to speak, and am outspoken and talk too much when I should be listening (can I help it if my brain runs ahead?).

I like myself as a person and I know (most of the time) who I am and where I am! Seriously, I don't want to grow old; I don't want to be alone but I'm not ready for a serious relationship-not yet but getting there; but I would like to make some new friends and open those horizons some. I would like to travel some and see places I haven't seen (I'd love to do it in an RV/Coach, where I could take my time, stay a while, then move on when ready).

My ideal place to live - in a cottage on a lake with a boat ramp and pier where I can fish at night when I can't sleep and answer to no one else if I DON'T WANT TO. - doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have company now and then... who knows where that road leads to? I've learned to never say "never". The hard way.

Main thing on my plate right now: sell my junk; his junk and all junk and this house and get the hell out of Houston - NOW. I'm counting on God to help me with a plan - hello, God, it's me, Lynda.. needing your help here!

I want to move on and I have to do it somewhere where I can be me without worrying about everything and everyone else for a change. Course, I'm gonna need a lot of money to do any and/or all of the above, but - who knows - maybe one day I will hit the lottery! LMAOOO at that one. Yeah, right!

Well, that about wraps it up. Sorry to be so long. I'll probably think of more to add or some to take away. But for now I'll stop there!

Environmental charities; SPCA; would like to form my own to help people who get laid off and can't find employement and are about to loose their homes, cars, or can't buy groceries or pay their utilities (been there, done that).

Favorite Music

I'm kinda between on music right now. I listen to an oldies station; I like the older Country Music (love Willie Nelson, Conway Twitty) some Garth Brooks), Love Peter Frampton Live, The Doobie Brothers; I really like the old smooth music like Michael Bubble is bringing back. Whatever happened to Dino and Frank... miss their type music a lot - but don't tell my dad! That and the big bands is what I grew up on.. and really like hearing it today).

Favorite TV Shows

This TV SEASON: HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING IMPRESSIVE YET!

Favorite Quotes

One of my own that I tell my daughter every single day, it seems - "Kill 'em with kindness - no matter how much you dislike them or they you" "Never let them know how you really feel". NEW: IT IS WHAT IT IS!

Favorite People

My family - my youngest daughter - My parents - my grandparents (all of whom have passed but are always in my heart) My best girl friend Donna, and my "other kid" - Roshan - all mean so much to me. UPDATE: no more husband; he left in June - no warning, nothing; having a very hard time; just not the man I thought he was I guess no more best friend. And I lost my mother in January this year; also a very hard blow. when does all the hurt go away? ever?

Favorite Places

Setting on the lake at the end of the day just before or right at dusk - soooo peaceful. Love the lake and being near the water.

Favorite Animals

I love my little dog, Charlie (I've posted his picture); I also have a bird (Corky) and a huge, monster cat named Connie. I've had to have my blessed Sheltie, Herbie and my blessed "Ole Man-Cat" Peabody, put to sleep because of Old Age and health issues they couldn't survive - nearly killed me and I miss them both to this day! UPDATE: Now have another dog, too - a "Weenie dog"- he'll be a year old in December - his name is "COOPER"... and a new bird - a Lovebird that I have named "COOKIE" - she was neglected by her previous owners and I adopted her. Notice they all start with a "C" - not by design -it just happened that way!
