Unique to me huh?

1. I am a full blood cherokee, with light brown hair, and blue eyes. I guess someone jumped the fence somewhere in history.

2. After a double mastectomy I refused to reconstruct, even though I was forced to see a pysch md to question why i would want to be "less of a woman." its been 16 years and I have never regretted not following everyone else into implant land.

3. I was raised by a father that was always out to sea with the navy, and a mother who had polio growing up. She has some brain damage from the polio, and has never been able to lead a stable life. it was one bizarre choice after another. From putting contact paper on all of the counter tops and appliances to make them look better, to painting the bathtubs to make them look cleaner. Also perceiving that men are always hitting on her made grocery shopping a nightmare. I was always ashamed as a kid, but as a grown up, my heart is always broken for a mom that cant be fixed.

4. I love reading, but ON has fixed it so that I am not able to enjoy books anymore. I have discovered MP3 books. I have been accepted to the blind library, and the free books on MP3 are awesome!

5. maybe not unique to me, but I am quite frugal with money. My money feels much better in MY pocket than theirs. I will shop like its a profession. I get the best deal on the best products, and will follow up with price matches to keep the discounts rolling long after the purchase. I frequently pay less than half price for items. its all in how you work the deal. I am one of those that walks out of the grocery store with $200 in food, and only pay $8. Woo!
