Noo not you! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> The lady I'm talking about hasn't contacted me since we first decided to be pen pals, which is why I was worried. She may have changed her mind about the pen pal thing too, which is cool. I'm just hoping I hear from her soon because I kind of love having pen pals! haha

Well, I'm WAY late to the party aren't I? But I'd still love to join in on the fun. The holidays were insane. My mom was sick in the hospital (they told us she wouldn't make it to Christmas & lo & behold she was released from the hospital a few days ago. . . still very sick, but very much alive) & I'm 2000 miles away from her which stresses me out when she is THAT sick. Then my baby caught RSV & spent the holidays in the hospital. Eeek. Now things are starting to normalize again. My hubby leaves on Saturday morning for several months (got to love being a military spouse) so I'll be home alone with my 6 kiddos so I figured finding some pen pals might help me pass the time & make me feel not so lonely, especially over Valentine's Day. So. . . better late than never in my book:
A little. . . . or a LOT about me. Age: I'm 32, but I'm up for writing to ladies of any age. Location: Virginia (until the military decides to move us again which shouldn't be for another 3 years) Penpal Type: I live for snail mail, but I'm also good at emailing. Main Interests: Family is the most important thing to me. I'm a mom of 6 kids so my life pretty much consists of kids, kids, & more kids. My kids range from ages 10 to 7 months. . . 3 girls (3 oldest) & 3 boys (3 youngest). My husband is in the USAF so we've lived all over the world: Utah for 6 years, Germany for 3.5 years, California for 2 years, & now Virginia for 4 (we're one year in). I loved Germany, learned the language, loved the people & the traveling, toured most of Europe, & totally miss the food. I love music & play over 27 musical instruments. . . well I did in High School. I'm a bit rusty on most now, but still love playing. I have a piano, trumpet, viola, guitar, & oboe in my home. My 3 daughters all play piano & my eldest daughter plays piano, guitar, & oboe. I've taught music for years & just started a break from teaching 2 years ago when baby #5 was born. I miss it, but just can't do it with 6 kids. Maybe when all 6 are in school I'll start up again, but for now I'm loving just being mom. Someday my dream is to open up a music academy for children where kids & teens can come after school & learn to play & love music in a symphonic orchestra. I love the idea of an extra-curricular activity where kids can learn to love music & be in a safe environment (especially teens) without getting into drugs & negative influences. I'm also a very religious person. My religion is very important to me & my family. And then of course there's MAKE-UP. But that's more than an interest. . . it's more of an obsession. I'm also obsessed with anything Disney related. Described As: I don't know. I'd like to think I'm a nice & fun person. The neighborhood calls me the party mom so I take that as a compliment. We host neighborhood parties all year long which is fun. People say they wish they had my energy. . . but I'm pretty tired most of the time so I don't see the same energy they see apparently. Music: In honesty, I don't listen to much music. I really need to listen to more. I mostly listen to kid songs (BORING) because I have kids around, but I also love good old classical music. My hubby is really into Classic Rock & the Beatles, so they're starting to grow on me as well. Movies: I'm totally NOT a chick flick girl. Give me some fantasy action movie & I'm good. I love The Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Avengers, anything fun with action in it really. I'm more of a TV girl rather than a movie girl. There's nothing I despise more than sitting through a 3 hour movie & thinking to myself (I"m never going to get those 3 hours back am I?) TV: Now we're talking. We actually don't have TV at our house, but I DO have my favorites that I watch on Hulu. I love Dr. Who (YES YES YES), Castle, Psyche, The Middle (that's my life in a nutshell), Modern Family, Sherlock (love me some benedict cumberbatch), & a few others pop up here & there. Books: I don't read as often as I'd like due to being so busy with kids, but I love CS Lewis (Screwtape Letters are one of my favorites) & I adore J.R.R Tolkien. I love the Harry Potter series. . . & I love all the classics you read in High School that most people hate. I love them. I'm a huge Shakespeare fan & love his plays. I wish I had more time to read. Collect: Besides make-up & beauty supplies & nail polish? Hmmmm that's hard. ;-) I'm a crafter so I collect craft odds & ends like crazy. I buy them & put them aside telling myself that SOMEDAY I'll make that or do this project. ha ha ha. It usually takes a few years for me to actually do it, but I usually get them done. I collect Mickey Mouse anything. My bathroom & kitchen are done in Mickey Mouse so I have fun with that. I also love jewelry & have a nice collection of different gemstones. Prefer long, medium, or short letters? I don't care if a letter is 1 sentence long. I just get SO happy when I see an envelope in my mailbox. :) International or Local: I'll take whatever I can get. :) I think that's all for now. This is fun. I hope it helps in deciding whether you'd like to write to me or not. :)
 
i got an initial letter out to all my pals yesterday! yay!! not the longest letters in history, but i got something out,lol

Living in MI for your entire life makes you crazy: I just walked to the Post Office and thought "it's so warm out!" I then checked the temperature when I got home and it is 15 degrees LOL (there was no wind, so I'm guessing that's why it felt so warm). Also, who thinks, while walking through knee high snow, to watch out for burs?!?!?! I felt pokiness on my knee and it was a bunch of burs! Sheesh. Anyways, letters have been sent to the two penpals I have addresses for.

 
I haven't done a single pen pal related thing.  We've already established that I won't write to anyone so that's my free pass on that part of it.  I'm a gifter  pal and I haven't had a chance to think about, much less find and/or make, gifts.  My pals can think of me as a ninja...you'll get it, you'll just never know when!

 
I forgot to mention, that I am still open to more penpals, so message me anyone who is interested!

Yay! So exciting! I love getting mail!

 
I am hoping to peek into this cute little shop before we move next weekend... I just know I will find *different and interesting* cards and such for my pals. All of my stationary and cards are packed right now, so my first couple of letters will be BORING! ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I got a letter from @lorizav today! Exciting!

It's supposed to warm up a bit this weekend, so I'm hoping they can get the roads clear enough that we can get our car out of the giant snow mountain and, you know...use it...so I can mail the rest of my letters!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Penpals, I'll send you some goodies soon to make up for the wait.

 
I'm still at 2 of 5 written. I also need to get stamps but my car is still buried under a foot of snow. Ugh.  It will happen soon though!

Just sent the last of my intro letters out, but need to reply to Sheila's letter. I love this whole idea of pen pals, but it's been so long since I've written anything longhand that I actually got hand cramps!

Exactly! When 40's hit, I start being a bit more active and walking to the store and stuff and think "It's so nice out! Time to pull out the sandals" :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> (I swear I HATE wearing "real" shoes/boots  ie ones that require socks...or maybe it's actually that I hate wearing socks?!?! and always end up pulling out the sandals early)
