MY THOUGHTS ON RATING. I feel that if you sign up for a swap, you should have the common courtesy to rate your partner. And if for some strange reason, you feel you don't have to (which I think is rude not to), you should at least thank them. If someone sends you something, you say THANK YOU! I am very tired of people being unappreciative.

I am a stay-at-home, home schooling mom and I also have my CDL to drive a tractor-trailer. (And let me just take the time to say that a tractor-trailer or any other vehicle with air brakes CANNOT stop if you pull out in front of them! Please remember that!) I love riding our Harley, writing/swapping with my 50+ penpals, scrapbooking, angels, fairies, Orange County Choppers, summer, happiness, sunshine, Sanrio, gardening, bunnies, dancing, decorating, chunky shoes/boots, laughing, coffee, etc. Married to a truck driver with 2 lil' boys ('04, '06), a baby on the way in July '12, and a puppy named Gunner. Mail of all sorts (except bills, of course!) lifts my spirits each day! I love sharing and tend to give a little more than "required". Hee! I really enjoy corresponding with happy, creative people who are optimistic and upbeat. My favorite color is purple, but I like pink, too. I'm a summer girl--I love tank tops, Daisy Dukes, flowers, sunshine, hot temps, being on the Harley, sitting on the porch, etc., etc.

FOR MY COFFEE SWAPS: Ground coffee, regular or flavored is fine; NO banana flavors please.

Big & Rich, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Van Zant, Pink, Aerosmith, Gretchen Wilson, Josh Turner, Tom Petty, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, etc. I really like Miranda Lambert, too. She thinks like me. :) I mostly listen to country and southern rock anymore. I like my music to be positive and upbeat.

Coyote Ugly, Sweet Home Alabama, Pretty Woman, etc.

NCIS, Friends, American Chopper, Becker, Everybody Loves Raymond, Wife Swap, My Name Is Earl, Ice Road Truckers...

scrapbooking, decos, matchboxes, handmade cards, anything with my boys, as I'm homeschooling them. Oh, and I LOVE Jolee's stickers, and they're very hard to find here in the boondocks. (Hint, hint!)

I also love to decorate. We get all 4 seasons here, and while I love summer best, I always decorate for the different seasons/holidays. I love to make (or buy!) seasonal decorations.

Bananas, Ginger Ale, negativity, cold weather, phonies, etc.

I am homeschooling my kids (both boys), and we have a "Treasure Chest" that they get to choose treasures from after they get so many stickers on their charts. I would gladly welcome any "novelty toys" for this chest. (Bouncy balls, matchbox cars, bubbles, rings, pencils, tiny note pads, etc.) Please make sure they're in new condition, though, as these are for little kids. Thanks!!

I can't sit still! Which would probably be the reason why I am a tad too thin and don't have many favorite movies! Ha! I have to be busy all the time!

I'm a cleaning freak! I have to clean every day...I sweep the floor at least once a day, usually more! Uhh! My brother used to call me "Monica"--as in "Friends" Monica!

I don't like chaos. Everything has to be "just so" and quiet (for the most part). I just don't do well under pressure.

I do like to read, though rarely have time between tending to kids and, yes, cleaning! Ha! But I like romance novels, mysteries, history, etc. Not real big on magazines, though.

I collect any and all Harley-Davidson items; especially shirts from various cities/states with the location on them, kitchen fairies, wind chimes, angels, doilies, pretty handkerchiefs, and coffee mugs. Also, I love hair accessories; especially big scrunchies and hair wraps. (For riding, of course!)

I can't sew...but I love to receive handmade items. I can't believe the care and talent people put into sewing! I love it! So feel free to sew me something--I'll cherish it forever; seeing how I'll never sew something for myself! I do use fabric, though, for other crafts, and have a nice collection started.

I am a Christian, take my boys to church every Sunday, and read a bit of the Bible daily. I don't judge, and love having friends of all sorts, though. So please don't hesitate to approach me, even if you don't agree with me.
