Hi All,
My name is Carrie. In the words of my favorite card which I have framed in my bedroom "What can I say but I'm working on it, all of it--everything in its entirety; I have left nothing out. I can't say when it'll be complete only that I'll not cease until it's longer, rounder, tighter...and with a little more red."--Pondering Pool. I am glad to meet you all.
Carrie

...uh, do you want to know more? I live in Tacoma Washington. I have 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 fish, 1 daughter, 1 son and 1 husband all of whom I love dearly (except the cat first thing in the morning when she starts yowling for food and I find that there is none left). I own 1 house, yellow with green trim and red around the window frame built in 1929, with 1 bathroom, blue with white trim and silver fawcetts. We also have 2 cars (saturn and dodge), 2 computers (Tiny piece of Crap and a 10 year old mac), 2 tvs (a 13 inch and a 27 inch built in 1986 which only has the colors green and light green left on the piture tube) and 2 stereos (one big one with lousy sound and one little one that sounds great but gets louder when you try to turn the volume down). I have had 3 therapists (2 of which dumped me and 1 who is kind and patient). I have seen The kind one for 3 years, am on 2 medications (remeron & Wellbutrin) prescribed to me by 1 psychiatrist (who is also kind and patient). I only have 1 diagnosis which is Borderline (which I agree with since I matched all the criteria except one but I am much better now). Mostly I am happy. I am greatful that I had a mental breakdown 3 years ago because if it wasn't for going over the edge, off the cliff, under the deep dark water I would still be living 1/2 a life, one that was sad and lonely even though I was surrounded by the people I love. I have hope for the future and respect for the past and greet the present with all the enthusiasm I can muster in the moment...and I am as cute as a bug in the rug...you pick the bug. Ha ha. My hair is midnight burgandy black (which you can find in a Ferria box). My roots are dark brown (with more grey then I like to admit). I am 36 years old and I like the picture on my driver"s liscense. I have piggy toes and green eyes and white imperfect teeth (small chip on front tooth). Right now I am wearing a red shortsleeved t-shirt, long black skirt with mirrors sewn in and bells the jingle when I walk, red socks, green underwear and a pink bra with purple flowers...uh is that too much? Tee hee.
Love ya all,
Carrie, Zen, Zenobia Whisperwind, Crow, WillyBear, Hey You, Sea Lynn, Stink Pot, Carrie Girl, Care Bear, and of course Mom.
