I saw this on a SP friend's blog and thought it was a great idea. Especially as I don't really know anyone here. I first joined SP in 2008 and have drifted in-and-out. Mostly out. But I've re-dedicated myself to getting healthy in 2013. I would love to make new friends here who are determined to finally succeed so we can support one another. So here goes...

and help your SparkFriends get to know you."

Where is my cell phone?
It's on the table next to me.

Spouse?
Well...kind of. My husband left me more than 3 years ago after 18 years of marriage but never filed for divorce. I take my Catholic faith very seriously so it was incredibly hard for me to accept. But I finally filed for divorce on my own last month.

Your hair?
Very short and it tends to change color every few months!

Your mother?
A retired nurse. She is the most kind, gentle person I know.

Your father?
He was a teacher. He passed away 21 years ago.

Your favorite thing?
Without a doubt my 3 children (and my dog is a close second!)

Your dream last night?
I remember waking up this morning and thinking it was weird, but now I can't remember it at all.

Favorite drink?
Seltzer. I hope it counts as water intake because I have 8 glasses a day!

What room are you in?
My kitchen.

Your hobbies?
Number 1 hobby is reading. I am never without a book. I also love to watch movies, especially independent films but I don't get to do that too often.

Your fear?
I used to have a lot. And then some of those fears came true and I had to face them. It was hard but I did it and I learned so much about myself and I got through ok. The only thing I fear now is losing one of my children.

Where do you want to be in 6 years?
I am in school to be a nurse now so in six years I hope to have a job as a nurse that I love.

Where were you last night?
Home the entire night.

Something that you aren't?
I am not a cook. It's not something that I am good at or that I enjoy. I do love to bake though!

Muffins?
Um...I'm trying hard not to eat those right now so I don't even want to think about them. My absolute favorite were Jordan Marsh's Blueberry Muffins, but they went out of business so I can't get those any more.

Wish list item?
Can't think of a thing except being 60 pounds lighter and I'm working on that.

Last thing you did?
Went to the library and came home and made a big salad for lunch.

What are you wearing?
Black corduroys, black boots, black turtleneck and heavy green sweater.

Your pets?
I have a cat and a dog and 2 fish.

Friends?
In the past year I have made 2 really good friends (the kind of friends who are really there for you) and I am so happy about that!

Your life?
Getting better all the time! I am very happy right now-the happiest I have been in a long, long time. However, in 2 weeks I will return to school and that will be tough. School is a lot of work and very stressful but it will be worth it to achieve my goal of becoming a nurse.

Your mood?
Pretty upbeat and happy but as I mentioned, I can get stressed about school.

Missing someone?
I miss the man my husband used to be.

Drinking?
Seltzer, of course!

Your car?
A 2005 Honda Odyssey.

Something you're not wearing?
Can't think of anything.

Your favorite store?
I don't really like to shop so I can't answer that.

Your favorite color?
pink

When is the last time you cried?
I can't remember.

Favorite place to eat?
Well, I hate to admit this because it is part of my problem but my favorite place to eat is home when I am alone.

Favorite place I'd like to be right now?
I think I'm happy right where I am.
