Susie Speaks
Finally a place where I can say just what's on my mind. All those who know and love (or hate) me know that I am a very opinionated person. I occasionally have times where I climb up on my soapbox and tell everyone what I think no matter who I offend. This is my special place just for that. I intend to add subjects as the need arises. If I offend anyone by anything I say, good. Maybe it will make a difference.

Let me tell you a little about me. I was born a poor black child. Actually I wasn't but I love Steve Martin's movie The Jerk and that's the first thing that came to mind. I was born in a small town in North Carolina. I've spent most of my life in NC but did live in FL, SC and WV for awhile. I don't live in a small town anymore, Thank you God. I hated it there. In small towns like the one I am from you don't have to tend to your business. The whole town will gladly do it for you. Living in a large city has rewards that most people take for granted. I can now go into any store of my choice without worrying about who I will run into. No one will ever come walking up to me and say "I heard that you..." The joys of city life. City life does have a few downfalls. When trying to replace our mailbox I struggled for hours to get the old post out of the ground as neighbors went about their own business. If I had been in the county where I am from, some guy with a tractor or a 4x4 would have been to my aid within 10 minutes. The two things that I miss the most about the country are my Mom and Whip-poor-wills. Even though I live in the city I still have my secluded yard. I could never live with neighbors in view outside my windows.

I am a 37 year old mother of one 12 year old beautiful terror named Carmen. I have the greatest boyfriend alive whose name is Steve. My boyfriend becoming my husband is only delayed by the fact that I am waiting to receive a divorce. We just bought a house with a 2-acre jungle that I intend to turn into a yard. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Our dogs are protected from the world outside our yard by a hidden fence system. At one time I wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not. I now know that it was the best investment we ever made. Our dogs are happy and safe. As mentioned earlier, I am a very opinionated person. I hope to share my views on the pages to come. I hope that in some small way I can make a difference.
