Ahh........... a visitor, I see....... Welcome ...... My arms extend
and offer many Hugs and Kisses to all my dear friends and to new ones, as
well....... It's a great pleasure to know so many! Let me introduce myself
to those who don't know me and perhaps I can enlighten some of my good
friends who know me only a little. *S* I may regret telling all, but here
goes.........
My name is Evelyn, but I have been called Evie since before I was born.
(does that make sense?) My dad's idea. I'm a very young 51 years old. As you
can see, I do not look my age and anyone who knows me can tell you that I
don't act it either. *S* I have been married twice. The last one ended 14
years ago. Out of those two marriages, I have 3 wonderful children, who are
my life........ Two sons, 30 and 18, and a daughter, 23. For the last 14
years, I have raised them by myself, working up to three jobs at one time. It
has been a roller coaster all the way. Finally, my youngest son graduates in
May. He's joining the Army and has his career goals set. My daughter also
graduates from college in May. Then she begins Law School next fall. Her
goals are set. My oldest owns his own home nearby, and is financially secure.
I am so very proud of them all. I give myself a pat on the back for guiding
them in the right directions.............. along with the many angels I've
had by my side. It hasn't been easy for any of them...... Nor for me. But I
would surely do it all over again........only with more love than ever
before. We live and learn........ *S*
Now, lets continue on with more about me...... I'm 5'3, green eyes, and
my hair slowly turned from cottontop to a light brown by High School. So,
yes, I keep it blonde.....hehehehehehe. During my lifetime, I have worked
many interesting jobs. The longest was being a ranch manager for 18 years
while my children were growing up. That helped enormously........... *S*
250 acres and 21 horses, and about 30 cattle. We had a lot of great times out
there..........I can tell you many stories..........*S* The owner finally
sold it 4 years ago. I miss it terribly.
I had also been a security officer for several years. Worked at a
local theme park, Six Flags Over Texas, for 4 years and also at a local mall.
I miss the park and hope to be there, again, in my spare time, next season. I
almost went to work for the county 2 years ago, but elected to stay in
education. The kids need me more, I think.
I have been a teacher's assistant for 12 years. That's my passion. I
will never give that job up. I have the good fortune of working with the
special ed and at risk students. I also work with several autistic children
every week as an extra challenge. I could go on and on about education, but I
won't this time. I hope to begin college in the next two years, to work on
my teaching degree. Then, I'll move on to get my counsellor's degree.
Children always need our attention and help.
While raising my kids, I have been in Girl Scouts and gone through many
levels of training. I've been a troop leader, day camp director, and even
taught survival to the cadettes. I've been in boy scouts, and the explorers.
Camping is my secret love of all time. I go at any given opportunity. I
love roughing it in the mountains, hiking, setting up camp....you name it. I
would love to live in the mountains on my own.... I love nature..... can you
tell?
Then there is the computer. I know PowerMac OS almost inside out. Am
learning PC/windows now. The door to a world of opportunities!
Wow......what an experience...... especially since I have found Alamak!
It's been about 2 years now, since I discovered this wonderful chat room....
and all the different people in here. I have learned so much from Alamak.
.....lol....... and am still learning. I have laughed, and cried, fallen
in love, and cried, met many new friends and aquaintances. Gosh.....just like
a soap opera! Never knew so many kinds of people and they all seem to have
one thing on their minds....giggle... *S* Even I have been guilty !
.......lol........ I've even had many different nicks ......lol....
haven't we all? Some of the names you may know me as are......
..
sweet_lips, your_woman, wackergrl, Wild_Angel, sloopy_girl, ......... that's
not even breaking the ice........lol..... but, it's all fun. If you see me in
there, please say hello. I enjoy making friends. I don't like dishonesty, as
some of you know by now. I try to be as truthful as I can be. Of course,
there's nothing wrong with teasing and flirting, if you know what I mean. I
probably won't cyber, but I am playful...hehehehee.... My life is quite simple
now. I have no clue as to what is in my future. I do know that Alamak
is, and always will be, one of my second homes.
I wish for all of you who have visited my page to have a wonderful, new year
A great new beginning in this great new millinium......I pray that
your guardian angels will be watching over you and guiding you in the right
path. Who knows where we will be ten years from now. I have no clue as to
what is in my future. I do know that Alamak is like a home to me and as long
as Alamak is around and I am still here on this beautiful earth, I will be
in there.
I want to thank my dear, wonderful friend, Daniel, for making my
beautiful webpage. You're the best! Kiss! God Bless you,
sweetie.............and everyone else, as well. Remember........ never say
goodbye....always say later............. :) See you all in Alamak!
Kisses ! Later!
