Hello Roomies! It's me Carolyn AKA Varukamoon. I live in Ohio just 30 minutes west of Cedar Point! (and I only visit the amusement park once a year). and 18 miles south of the great Lake Erie. Some of you may have seen me under one of my alias' Put-In-Bay-Girl or Kelleys-Island-Girl. Yes I love the lake and the islands in it. I am a whopping 33 years old single (and looking) with no kids. I am the youngest of seven children (you guessed it, large Catholic family). So I have the typical youngest child characteristics. I am a part time college student studing Total Quality Management and I also work for the Whirlpool Corporation in Clyde Ohio where I assemble the consoles (where the control knobs are) for all the Kenmore, Kitchen Aide, Roper, Inglis and of course Whirlpool washing machines. We are the only manufacturer of these washing machines in the United States so if you have purchased one of these in the last 3 years my hands have touched your washer. (doesn't that just send shivers up and down your spine?) Before that I was a cosmetologist for 11 years until I had a midlife crisis at the tender age of 29 and quit. I enjoy reading suspense novels and life improvement books. Self-improvement books I highly recommend (and use them as references) are The Road Less Traveled and The Artist Way. I enjoy just about all types of music except Polka's which I was forced to listen to as a young child. Last year I purchased my own home and absolutely love it. I have discovered that I really do have a green thumb, but positively no construction capabilities to remodel parts of my house. The "newness" of my computer has not subsided like everyone said it would. I truly enjoy coming the BBW room and chatting away. I become extremely shy when in person, but once I get to know you - watch out! I would like to thank all of you for welcoming me to the room, I feel at home in there. I live by these words from motivational speaker Les Brown "Someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality". I have small collection of motivational quotes that I keep around to remind me that I loveable for who I am. Take care roomies!
