I realized this morning that I think I was supposed to be TWINS....! Probably
sounds weird.    I am an all natural California Girl and Super PROUD OF IT!  I
have been active since early in my youth...... My parents basically raised me
to be an athlete....I love being outdoors and at THE BEACH!! I LOVE THE BEACH!
My parents  tell me (and everyone they meet!) that I was "swimming before I
was walking."  Could throwing me in the pool at 8 months have anything to do
with that?!?  Sink or Swim - The original survivor... Besides SWIMMING, I ran
TRACK and played the DRUMS (Hey, Drummers ARE Athletes!!).  My mom
stayed at home with my sister and I, drove us to practice, etc... She cooked
all our meals mostly from scratch and would invent things like "Mexican
Lasagne" (Sounds good!) and packed all our lunches!  We even made tortillas
together.  She juiced carrots and I remember my dad adding WHEAT GERM to
everything... this is the early 70's.... Eating home cooked meals from an early
age gave me a respect for food and my body.  Both my parents were athletes,
my mom was a professional Under Water Swimmer.  She worked at a hotel
that had an underground viewing restaurant and would entertain diners.  My
dad was always either at the gym or playing racket ball or tennis outdoors.  
We went to the beach in Ventura as a family.  My sister and I played and
swam in the water.  We didn't surf as kids, but now I like to paddle out when
the water and air conditions are "So Shan".

As I start to open up here on the web, you will learn more about me than you
thought possible! There are so many layers...

MORE TO COME......
PAST
An original Valley girl, dude!  Born in Mission Hills in 1969.  I am proud of my
age... I worked hard to be here today!  I was raised in beautiful Ventura, in
sunny southern  California.  We would love to return to Ventura one day, but
we really are enjoying Orange County for now.  I come from a loving 2 parent
household.  My parents divorced when I was 25ish.... It was (And still is!)
tragic and I CAN NOT imagine going through that as a child!

After High School in 1987, I went to Hawaii to be a NANNY!!  
Yes, I was a live in nanny to 2 kids, well really 3 if you count
the MOM!! What a Trip!!

After my Hawaiian Nanny Adventure, I went to FIDM for 2 years
and loved it!  I got my Associates degree in Merchandise
Marketing and hit the scene HARD!!  Besides an education,
FIDM gave me all sorts of industry contacts and paychecks!  
Not to mention FRIENDS! Check them out!  GO Susie!!

My Dad is a photographer and was taking pictures of my mom,
my sister and I from day 1.  My mom also took good shots,
because there are a lot of my dad with us! He shot in black
and white and on slide.  I have a TON of slides that I would
love to get transferred so that I can use them here.
