About Me<\/h2>\n

Since you have taken the time to stop by and visit, the least I can do is take the time to introduce myself.  I grew up in a close-knit family, the youngest of seven, with the best parents I could have asked for.  I met my BFF when I was 4 1\/2 and we moved in across the street from her family.  We are still BFF’s and as close as ever, even though we now live hundreds of miles apart.<\/p>\n

I was diagnosed with ADHD and OCD in July 2025, and suddenly, my whole life makes a lot more sense.  I’m not a “hot mess”!  My brain just works differently.  More about that on my ADHD page.<\/p>\n

I have been an animal lover my whole life.  I have had many furkids (and not furry) throughout my life.  I have volunteered for multiple animal rescue organizations, which gave so much meaning to my life.  I’ll share more about my kids and fosters on my Furkids page.<\/p>\n

I am a self-proclaimed computer geek.  I once built myself a desktop computer with nothing more than a DIY book.  I have also taught myself web design, graphic design, and advanced Excel.  You can learn more about my web design and services that I offer on my Web Design page.<\/p>\n

Some of my other hobbies include reading, knitting, and coffee.  Yes, I do consider coffee a hobby – I LOVE drinking it and I also loving collecting coffee items – clothing, mugs, and home decor. <\/p>\n

I’m happy to have you here!  Feel free to take a look around.<\/p>\n
