Hi All,
I am fairly new to this group and because of the holidays I have been
running behind on posting an “ALL ABOUT ME” Post. Well here it is.I live high in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina where I was
born and raised. I am 40 years old (Some days I feel 100) I was
married for 11 years and now divorced for 6 WONDERFUL years. I have 3kids, 3 grandkids and a 4 legged baby boy named Chippy who is a
Pomeranian, Stephanie (Now 24) who I became a momma to when I was 13
because her momma didn’t want her when she was only 6 month’s oldbeing adopted myself at 6 month’s I just couldn’t say no to a baby
being mistreated no matter how young I was to me she was a REAL LIVE
PLAY THING but motherhood soon caught on and we got threw it all justfine. After I was married in 1988 we legally adopted her as our own,
then proceeded to have a son in 1990 named Justin (Now 17) Both
youngan’s will be having birthdays in January – 1 day apart 21st and22nd. Also for you movie buffs out there I live 5 mins from Aunt May
of Spider Man’s Door Step and 15 mins from Dolly Pardon’s sister
Stella. You’d never think of this TINY town as a place to HIDE if youwere a BIG star but it does work and well. Even though when I’ve met
these people unless you KNOW who they are there just like you and me,
and both of these stars are doll babies sweet as can be.While I was married I owned a very successful restaurant for 5 years,
just woke up one morning with NO EXPERIENCE and decided I wanted one,
being only a high school graduate I had NO IDEA how to go about it butwith A LOT of reading and research on the internet and idea’s that I
am known for popping off the top of my head, much to my surprise it
took off and FLEW. Sadly I had to close my doors in 2,000 because mymain income of daily deliveries to the area’s 9 factories was taken
away when they all packed up and moved operations overseas. My life as
I see it has always been lived as make or break the ole school of hardknocks 101 – you win some and you loose some but you NEVER give up on
trying.
I moved to Greensboro, NC where I met my last babies father and littledid we know at the time I was carrying her with Uterine Cancer and 6
month’s after she was born underwent surgery to have the 2 tumors
removed, and today I am still cancer FREE. My oldest daughter and meare real life “Father of the bride part 2 gals” as we were pregnant
together and my oldest grandson and Cheyenne is 2 month’s apart in
age. Cheyenne was also born the day before her daddy (July 19th and20th) so they are very close. We lived in Greensboro for 4 years
before deciding to move back close to my family. I am currently the co
– owner of a web design company that was Mark’s dream, but this springI am branching out into the things I still love to do and will be
opening 4 new businesses in the Asheville, NC area – Restaurant,
Wedding Consultant, Caterer and Personal Chef and all will be under 1roof. Remember everyone Diversify and you won’t ever be without
something that will still keep an income rolling in.
I love to plan, design, cook, craft and garden as does a lot of myfamily and friends so this will fit right up our alley, and will also
help other’s who have been laid off from various jobs in our town. I
am planning to hopefully be able to employee a lot of people. I dohave a lot of current health problems for my age that includes;
Hypothyroidism, Corroded Artery Disease, Chrones Disease and
Fibromyaliga. But I don’t let nothing beat me down, sure there aredays I couldn’t get out of bed if the house was on fire but other’s I
feel 18 again.
My Favorite hobbies Etc are: Collecting Unicorns, Recipe Books andMagazines, Shopping but ALWAYS for a bargain, Yard Sales, Crafting,
Gardening, Reading, Designing and Planning, Various Clubs and swaps,
as well as local charities that I personally KNOW are REAL!!!!!!! Alsoif anyone has suggestions on groups or forums they belong to let me
know in a private email I myself own 1 yahoo group I just have started
working on as of 12/29/07 so I don’t have much there YET to look atLOL. I am also an avid Food Network watcher as is my family, even
Cheyenne is asking mommy will you teach me this recipe or that one
before you die?…LOL Kid’s you gotta love um.If anyone in the group is planning on being in the Asheville/Boone, NC
area post me a message and let’s go out to eat would love to meet some
of you in person. Well guys that is all I can think of about me. Anyother questions please feel free to ask and I can also be emailed
using this user name. Also I am very busy will try and at least post
once a week unless it is required otherwise, but please don’t think Iam “LERKING” that is something I don’t have time to do.
Also Any replys to this post PLEASE Email me privately so as to keep
board ON TOPIC!!!!!!Thanks again,
Connie C
