About Sissy

Gotta have the About Me post for the sidebar! :-)

I was born at MCAGCC 29 Palms, CA and since have lived in 8 states or countries, attended 13 schools, and have moved 18 times. Thank you USMC! This is all thanks to a dad (Retired Marine), stepdad (currently enlisted), mom, stepmom, and two sisters 17 and 7. We are all about as oorahriffic as they get! I have no idea want I want to be when I grow up although right now I work as a trainer in telecommunications. I am caught up in the world of music and spoil my dog Kiki as if she were my child.

The name is easy enough to explain. I have two darling younger sisters that I love with all my heart that call me Sis or Sissy.

Sis #1 is 17. She is a brilliant artist and is tons of fun. She has me playing the protective sister constantly because she is a bombshell and I know the guys are going to be trouble!

Sis #2 is 7 going on 13. She is a social butterfly. She cheerleads, is in Girl Scouts, and loves to sing to Hillary Duff. I have a feeling that I will have to play the protective sister with this one too.

And now I guess it's time to share a little bit about me. I'm going to borrow Machelle's Ten Layers of Me, that she got from her Blog Mom Tammi. No sense in re-inventing the wheel here.
