Be the change you want to see in the world...

Synopsis of Us

Lisa is au natural. She likes to have babies at home and drink slimy green liquids with large amounts of earth in them. She loves the quacks and we love her. If you are ailing, just call Lisa. She will doctor you up!

Melanie is a little bundle of energy. She's very peppy and always bouncing around. Do not drive with her. She tends to talk and visit and not watch the road. Cuts a mean hair-do!

Sarah is crazy! She loves Diet Pepsi (too much). The group photographer with many free photo shoots for her friends. Many questionable eating habits that we all ignore, hopefully they don't kill her.

Emily is an overachiever. She never sleeps and wakes up way too early so she can pratice music with her kids. She loves the earthy green drink too. Be careful, she will try to poison you with sugar-free goodies.

Jen is a dental hygienist. If you want to know which kind of gum to chew (to xylitol or not to xylitol, this is the question) she'll know.

Lana is full of crap! Literally, her house is full of crap! Yes, just stuff. If you ever need any random thing, pretty sure it's in her house... somewhere. Very competitive, don't coach children's athletics with her.

Adria is straightforward. She pretty much says it like it is. She is our community sex-ed advisor. Any questions, just ask her, she knows it all.

Marianne (one of the tall, leggy blonds) is amazing! She graduated from college while taking care of her four children and working to save the entire Chinese orphan population.

Marilyn is a perfectionist. She has to have everything at a ninety degree angle, if not, she's nervous. Hopefully this doesn't kill her. Likes to scrapbook, spends a large sum of money on this activity.

Stephanie (another tall, leggy blond) really likes to work out. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing. Nursing is her profession (not wet nursing).

It's OFFICIAL


OK ladies get ready to PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!! I am officially graduating from ISU on Saturday May 10th at 10 am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I am 36.9 years old ,yes, it took me 18.5 years to get a 4 year degree... but even more reason to party right??? Hey, I have had 4 kids (almost 5) breast cancer, a mastectomy, two deaf kids, lost my Mom, hit menopause and gained 18 pounds doing it!!!!!!! So I think I actually should get an honorary doctorate?? Just kidding - no seriously, thank you my friends for putting up with my whining and bitching and for NOT telling me to my face how tired I have looked these last couple years!!LOL And Adria for encouraging me to "chip away at it and someday it will be done" five or six years ago when I almost gave up! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
