NEW MEMBER ALL ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

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 3

kids, 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 old

being 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 just

fine. 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 and

22nd. 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 you

were 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 but

with 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 my

main 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 hard

knocks 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 little

did 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 me

are 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 and

20th) 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 spring

I 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 1

roof. 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 my

family 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 do

have 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 are

days 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 and

Magazines, 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!!!!!!! Also

if 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 at

LOL. 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. Any

other 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 I

am “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
