I thought you liked to cook. I have so many books I could be reading; but I just can't seem to get started. I know once I did I would read the book all the way through in a few days.

I like to cook but get tired of eating food I make myself... I was forced to retire when my eyes kept swelling up. Just wish I could draw Disability. I don't have a garden this year (for the first time in years and years). Pretty just doesn't want to have one. *shrug* I don't know why. Let's see... I've been on myLot for over 8 years. I used to read almost non-stop but find myself mostly reading myLot now instead of books. That's all I can think of...

) reading, crocheting and a closet reality show lover I love to sing (even if it's offkey) My biggest challenge is my arthritic knees which keep me from doing so many things but I'm not a candidate for knee replacement.(yet) I think I've been on myLot for 7 to 8 years already.

My hubs and I actually did pottery for a date night a couple of times. It isn't my thing, but he really enjoyed it and was good at it. There is quite a knack to get a piece of clay to stay put which spinning it and getting it to shape properly. I have been married for almost 36 years, and we had 2 children, 1 of each. Our daughter was born with the family congenital heart disease, and we lost her during infancy. We were blessed with not 1 but 2 sweet granddaughters. Nobody can take our daughter's place, but having 2 girls in the next generation is sweet. I hope to be able to work for another 4 years from July, time will tell.

I love writing, blogging, and creating poetry online. I do surveys on various sites, I have two cats Freddie and Morticia. Live on my own and keep busy on the internet every day, I watch a lot of things on YouTube and keep changing my preferences or watching DVDs or videos, I sing like a bullfrog but love to listen to my oldies list on YouTube and will sing along at which point my cats will leave the room

I read before going to bed and make frozen food which is easier for myself, I have a cabinet full off adult coloring books and coloring pens because this is one hobby I wanted to take up, Hopefully, I will finally find the time to include it in my busy weeks. I wanted to run off to Hollywood and went for two years to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC the manager at the time was a Latvian woman. I needed four years to get a certificate which would not have made me an actress but I could picture myself running around the Hollywood studios shouting I have a certificate

Now I am glad the fickle finger of fate kept pushing me so I made it to Latvia where incidentally during her young adulthood my mom worked for the Riga Kino Film Studios so I could have tried there but I found my soul mate Martin and the rest is history,

Went back to college in my 30s to take normal college courses. I'm glad you found Martin and had a good life together. I would have missed my hubby if I would have run off to New York and Hollywood!!!

Here’s a little about me. I was born December 24, 1982. I am originally from Minsk, Belarus. My parents moved to the US in 1992, when I was 9. First we lived in Brooklyn, NYC but the moved fo Staten Island, NYC in 1998 when they bought their first house. Been living here since. I love to write and I love poetry. Written lots of poetry and lyrics. Aside from one novel I wrote and published all my other books are either poetry ones, lyric ones, or a combo of both, some with a little prose in them. I also wrote and published a poetic tale. And then I have two poetry anthologies I put together and published. Poets from different countries are in them, including me. Proud of that as I’m not a native speaker and came to the US with no knowledge of English.

Hobbies, I enjoy cooking. Working, I have been self-employed since 1996 cleaning houses and mowing yards. When 2020 came with its nuttiness I stopped working at people's homes and now just work at the church. I would call myself semi-retired. Married to Mike since Dec 1991. Spare time is spent watching tv, videos, reading No children. Currently have one sweet kitty, Ginger. During our marriage, we have had dogs and cats. Something about me, I was born in CA., raised in PA., and have been living in NC since the late 80s. Mylot, I came to Mylot after bubblelews went out of business. Not exactly how many years, been a good while. It's good to learn more about you

I love swimming, reading, cooking, drawing (for fun), and bowling. No. I don't work. But I just started writing ebooks for kids. So I'm an author. I used to work before I got married but now I'm just a housewife. Yes. I had an arranged marriage. I'm happily married. Mylotting to check on my friends, Playing games, Watching Movie and most important annoy my husband. No kids. We tried a lot but God has other plans. Not yet but looking for one to adopt. I'm very shy and don't talk with many people. But once I like someone I get to know them I can't stop talking. Becoming a successful author. To pursue my dream and tell stories to kids. I have been on MyLot for five years.
