I am a relatively newly married woman who is trying to eat healthy. My best friend Amber Dawn got me started on this website. I use it all the time. I live in San Jose, I am a Kindergarten teacher, I love camping, running, my kitties (one of which I have had since I was 11), and watching my Thursday night t.v. My biggest pet peeve is when you are getting your luggage at the airport and everyone squashes themselves against the turny thing creating a barrier between you and your luggage. Don't they know that if they stand back there will be plenty of room to get their luggage? So I have to be the person who says "excuse me" and that bugs me. Other than that, I am usually a happy person.
