I'm turning thirty nine this year (for the first time).

I'm an even 5' tall.

I have size 4 feet(this is the equivalent of 2.5 in children's shoes).

I'm the youngest of two children.

I was the first to get married.

I'm the third shortest in my family.

I was the youngest of four generations of women living at my parents' house up until 1997.

I'm the only member of my family that has more than one collection.

I've owned (or been owned) by 2 wiener dogs.

I'm the only member of my family who has pierced ears.

My husband:
We've been married for four years and are still learning new things all the time. He makes me laugh. He stops me from getting dramatic. He listens, and has the patience of Job. He loves to learn, and makes a mean meatloaf. He faces the job-dragon every day to provide for us.He's been told numerous times he resembles Kiefer Sutherland.He loves dogs.

My Family

My parents have always been encouraging and supportive, and responsible for my entrepreneurial venture.
My aunts have been like second moms and opened worlds for me growing up and even now.
My grandmother and great grandmother,when she lived with us are my solid links to my roots and the past.
My brother who shows me how far living fearlessly can take you.
My sister in law who has a will of iron, and heart of gold.

Purses:

I have a modest collection (relatively speaking) of 50 bags. I love older Coach bags, and some of the new, vintage evening bags, cute and totally impractical bags (at times), unique cosmetic bags (soon to be replaced by my own...hint hint).And some bags that just make a statement without being name brand.
I own one vintage Louis Vuitton that has never seen the light of day. But other than that, every bag has been used at least once in my collection.

Wiener Dogs:

I've been owned by 2. Currently, I am owned by a 16 year old black and tan smooth haired named Kato. A cute stubborn chubby pawed little long dog.
This of course means I have a dachshund collection (notably paper items).
