Re: Illusion (9:49am October 23, 2015):

I am usually visited during my sleep. My grandparents and my dad visit regularly. I have had one while I was awake. I attend Camp Chesterfield and one weekend while I was there, I was reading a book in the cafeteria and I looked up for a second and out of the corner of my eye I saw a white figure walk behind the counter and through a door. There is a picture that hangs in the cafeteria of a gentleman who ran the cafe decades ago. I saw enough to tell that it was him. It was so cool.

It would have to be Beauty and the Beast.

Re: Dating, Dining, and Desperation (2:05pm March 14, 2014):

Yes, I live in a small town. I grew up here and love it. I am getting ready to buy my first home and looking at purchasing one in a neighboring small town. I lived in Atlanta, GA for 9 years and you could not pay me to move back or to live in a large city again. Too much chaos for this country gal.

Re: Once Tempted (2:28pm April 1, 2013):

I decided for my 25th birthday that I wanted to go to the ocean. I live in a landlocked state, so the closest ocean front was NJ and that is where I went. I went by myself and did whatever I wanted, when I wanted. It was so freeing. I played the slots in Trump Towers, I bought Steven King's latest book at that time from one of the boardwalk stores and rented a chair on the beach so I could read it. I made it to page 3 before the sounds of the ocean put me to sleep. I woke an hour later and headed back to my hotel (with a hot tub in my room because that is what I wanted). I treated myself the way that I wanted to be treated for my birthday and enjoyed every minute. The hot tub was fantastic, I won money on the slots and went home with a sunburn. But dang that was fun!
