I have a bunch of time to goof off today so I went through some old threads -- felt like I really got to know everyone a little better

. In that spirit -- I'd like to bump a couple of thread's up to help introduce some of use newer JDer's.

I have been a Star Wars geek since I first saw ANH in the theater when I was 12. The anticipation of wating for ESB and even more so for ROTJ was almost too much. I can't imagine what it would've been like if we had the Internet and these Forums then. Growing up I loved, loved, loved Leia, Han and Luke. I couldn't get enough of the movies. I think I was the only girl around who was into SW.
I grew up in Maryland and lived and worked in the DC Metro area for years. I have travelled to Central America to do Missionary work, Canada for High School Band stuff, Ireland to drink and the Netherlands for pretty much the same

. My fav trip was to Ireland. Went by myself with an open ended ticket and a backpack and no plans other than to be in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day (it was their Millenium so it was quite the bash). Stayed for nearly 8 weeks.
Sowed all of my wild oats before I met my hubby at work and settled into domestic bliss rather nicely. He was definately my saving grace. Waited until later in life to have my babies and am so glad I did. Now I feel like I've done what I wanted to do and I'm not missing out on anything by being with them -- they are my joy and my life.
Still love to travel, love the beach, movies, smell of fresh lumber, mexican and Italian food and would eat pizza and drink Dr. Pepper everyday if I could

Hate selfish, inconsiderate, mean people. Have had a crappy year when it comes to health issues -- still waiting to see a specialist -- they're trying to diagnose me with MS. But its also been a good year -- was sick during my pregnancy and the baby came early but she is healthy and great so I can't complain.
Anybody else want to introduce themselves?
