I spent my first 35 years of life in Chicago, hence my username.

I'm married (3rd time, so I know a little about relationships). I have two children: my daughter is married and my son is still at home (so I know a little about family, kids, & health).

We've had a menagerie of pets over the years, too! There have been goldfish, hamsters, dogs, cats, ferrets, and rabbits. Right now, we're down to one cat and two dogs (as of 9/17 no more cat :-( ).

I am a trivia buff about movies, TV, actors, and Chicago.

I used to work full time as the office manager for an architect/construction firm where I'm good with grammar, spelling, and math.

My hobbies are sewing, beaded jewelry, and, of course, WikiAnswers!

And, I love to help. If I don't know the answer, I just might know where to find it!

WOOHOO! 10,000 contribution threshold crossed May 20, 2009!
