only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
Getting Ready For A Parade

A few years ago while I was working for a local ISP, I was invited to participate in the Leadership Program hosted by the town’s Chamber Of Commerce. It was probably one of the most enriching experiences I’d had in a very a long time.
We were required to participate in monthly meetings/outings, to attend council meetings and to choose an extra activity as well. I asked to participate in the Christmas parade by being a judge. I love it! No surprise, since I do enjoy giving my opinion.
Last year, I received a call from the Chamber president asking if I’d like to judge the Christmas parade again. Of course, I accepted the offer. We had a great time especially since one of the judges was a dear friend and the other was my cousin’s ex-wife.
On Monday, the Chamber President called me to ask if I’d like to judge the parade again this year. How could I refuse? I love parades, I love giving my opinion and besides, the judges get the best seat in the house. So on Saturday I’ll be again judging the floats and bands and marchers and Shriners in their little cars.
If I remember to bring my camera, maybe I’ll get a nice shot of the winning float. Stay tuned for more.
