who are you
OK here goes!
I'm Jodi . . .
51 yo nut job Italian <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">
Wife to Terry, mother to Jen 27, Josh 26, Grandee to Aaron 2 1/2
Sister to 2 older CF free brothers, so I've always been a tomboy
I live in CA, born & raised in crazy SoCal
Married 1st time in 1977 for 11 years & divorced, Married Terry 8-92 <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
DX 25, but had all the symptoms and I always knew I wasn't 'right'
CFRD, MRSA, 5 sinus surgeries, FEV1 60ish even minus most of my left lung removed
Pancreatic sufficient so at 5' tall, I'm a chubby 135 lb
I'm a retired Art Director - Graphic Designer
I volunteer my graphic services to my clinic when they need anything designed
My favs are art, history, travel - even better if I can combine them
My perfect vacations are to travel by car all over Europe with a backpack, visiting world class museums, history sights and staying in home B&Bs in small towns.
I also love cats, Disney art, Disneyland, arts & crafts, home improvements, chocolate, music, movies, reading, walking 3-5 miles a day, camping, national parks, dirt bike riding, snow skiing and most of all family gatherings.
I'm a great cook when I want to be, especially Italian
Love a wicked sense of humor with a side of sarcasm
Don't have any room in my life for dishonest or ingenuine fake people
My bestest girlfriends in the whole world are from elementary school
Other than my CF and related maladies, I am perfectly healthy - go figure!
I consider my CF a blessing is so many ways. I have truly learned to love and live life. It just makes me work harder to achieve personal goals and milestones. I'd love to smack CF in the face and say, "See I told you so . . ."
Oh and sometimes, whether I like it or not, my mouth runs . . . thanks Mom!
