Introduction Loves film and literature. I mean, just love LOVE the doggone stuff. High cheekbones, good skin, great head of red hair (and I have the bottle to prove it.) Weighs too much and is tired of it...and is on her one-year journey to do something about that weight. Hope you follow along--it's a fun ride. I am all for women being everything they possibly can be, living up to their potentials, and being INDEPENDENT WOMEN. Oh yeah, I am a Christian (42 years and counting), but I won't preach at you or beat you over the head with my NIV Bible...Promise.
