Interests

Interests:
I'm interested in so many things I can't begin to list them all. In a nutshell though - I'm family oriented - crazy about my husband and daughter, our home, our dogs. I have a huge family - 5 sisters and one brother. We have great times together whenever we can.

I love to write, cook, garden, decorate, read, watch movies, and TRAVEL (should have put travel first). And I have to admit that I'm crazy wack-o NUTS about entrepreneurial endeavors. Good thing, too 'cause Lord knows I've tried enough of them.

Activities:
I laugh a lot! Spend time with my family, walk the dog, cook, watch movies, write, garden, Mostly I work on my business; it's my passion.

I spend lots of time with GreatCookingIdeas.Com (my primary business) Every day I tap into the Better Networker site, plus attend conference calls & webinars, and spend time developing and marketing my businesses. I think I said most of this in the above slot.

Favorite Authors:
Mainly I like entrepreneurial writers and motivational stuff. Also love mysteries, but novels aren't my first choice. I really migrate towards non-fiction - gets my motor running.

Favorite Quotes:
"When 'A' attempts to impose his values on 'B' - - 'A' is a scoundrel. (one of my favorite quotes from college. Can't recall author. Mencken?)

"Any idiot can spend $10k on herself or her home and end up with a fabulous look. But it takes a genius to do the same thing with 5 bucks." - Patti Mays (yep, wrote this myself. Love it! And so true, don't you think?)

"Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together." -Napoleon Hill (my hero)

"I like mashed potatoes 'cause I can eat them with my thumb" - Natalie Mays (daughter, age 3. She's 25 now...)

"If that guy's brains was leather, he wouldn't have enough to make knee-chaps for a piss ant." -Unknown

AND MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE QUOTE: "I could never have an affair. I don't have the underwear for it." -Erma Bombeck

About Me

Born and raised in Idaho - graduated from Ontario High School (Ontario, Oregon - just across the Snake River from Idaho). Graduated from University of Oregon (Sociology; Counseling). Married college heart-throb because he met all my criteria: He was good looking, taller than I am and he was in a good fraternity. :> We were totally incompatible and (surprise!) divorced 5 years later.

After being single for 7 years I married my sweetheart John - THE love of my life and my true soulmate. We had our daughter 4 years later and now she's grown up and John and I just celebrated our 29th anniversary. We're a very close family and I feel totally blessed.

My career was with the phone company - US West (now Qwest) in various management positions throughout Oregon and Washington. When John and I got married we moved from Portland, Oregon to Seattle. After 20 years (!) I took an early retirement offer from US West and we decided to try a different part of the country, so we moved to Atlanta GA. It was a great experience - we were there 2 years and then returned to the West, to Boise, Idaho where we live now.

I have a burning entrepreneurial spirit and have tried COUNTLESS MLM companies and direct-sales efforts. I've never done well in any of them but CCPro taught me how to "do it right" and now I'm on my way with my own affiliate marketing company - "Great Cooking Ideas". I'm semi-retired now, so can spend the time I need to get my business up and running. I'm SO EXCITED!
