About empresslaura

I'm a second generation Californian, my kids are third. How's that for a rarity around here. I'm a single mom with three "most of the time" great kids from my lifes "learning" opportunities... I used to be pretty active socially, however, between raising kids, working, "maturing", and having friends marry and/or move away - I woke up the other day and realized that I've been a slug the last couple of years and I don't have many friends around to just "hang" with. So, now that you know my tale of woe :-) I'm looking for a group to go bike riding with; go dancing with; play loud, abnoxious board games with; and new friends to meet, have a glass of wine with for laughing/venting/networking and possibly exchange parenting ideas. AND, since I live in Campbell, you guys looked like a perfect fit smile.gif

Unusual facts and stories about me
I've gone skydiving (once) just to prove to myself I could do it; hang gliding around Monterey to see how many nose dives I could do (lots); went up in a glider plane to see how green I could get (very) and learned many years ago that me and deep sea fishing are not well suited for each other (tho' the fish did seem to like me).

Pet peeves and other annoyances
Bad spelling! My eyes automatically go into scan mode when reading articles/email/snail mail and if I see a misspelling I'm immediately turned off...now, having said that, I have to go back and check all of my spelling - lol
Favorite quote/odd fact
If it �s just a Game That we play Before we leave this Earth For the Heavens above Then surely the one who wins Is the one who learns How to have A Life full of Living And a Heart full of Love
