TOP TEN REASONS WHY
IT'S COOL TO BE
A LEG AMP
OK, so it was waaaay past time to update my info.
So-----Oct. 28, 2004----here it is......
I can't say that I'll be 27 for much longer. November 10, I'll hit the big 2-8, to be exact. I'm still a girl (last time I checked anyway). Right now I'm teaching 2nd grade and have a really good time with it. Have you ever tried to explain politics to a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds? It's a hoot, I tell ya! I'm sort of the goofy teacher, but all the kids love me----so it's all good. 
I'm into anything outside and have recently become very fond of kayaking. I throw a mean discus too and plan on hitting my first competitions with that in Spring '05. 5 IS my lucky number, ya know. Other than that, I like to do just about anything outside and I'm definitely not hard to keep entertained.
I love my church
(HARVEST CATHEDRAL) and try to go at least once (sometimes twice) a week. I'm not a freak or anything, it's just a really cool place to be.
Unlike lots of other teachers, I actually work during my "time off" in the summer. Vacation is for wimps (or people who can afford to take off--ha ha ha)! I do like to take off for various sporting activities (ski weekends, kayak trips, etc) during the school year periodically, though, so I guess it all evens out in the end.
The only kids I have are the 21 in my class at school and my dog who patiently waits on me to get home every day. Between them, they're all I need in the way of little people at this moment.
I'm a LBK amp (
via the ERTL procedure) as of 6/03. I do a lot of new amputee counseling and make lots of hospital visits. I try to make myself available to all the less-than-two-legged people out there and occasionally the missing arms people, too!
If you can't tell, I'm quite talkative but I DISLIKE jerks. If you're a nice person, give me a shout. If not, move on Buck-o! 
And always remember, don't judge an amputee until you've walked a mile in his shoe.
10. Artificial legs are better weapons than any baseball bat--and they're portable.
9. Champion hop-scotch player.
8. Who needs a cooler? I have a portable can cooler that is the perfect shape to hold ice and never falls down.
7. Have your pick of the best parking spaces.
6. In an embarassing situation, you can put your foot in your mouth.
5. I'm not drunk, I always stagger.
4. Ever lost your paddle on the lake? I always carry a spare!
3. Two days of wear for one pair of socks.
2. Toenail polish lasts twice as long.
1. Takes half as much time to shave my legs.
