I am an IT Manager that likes learning new things. Years ago I was Microsoft Certified for servers, PCs, and network. Now I like more of the graphics stuff that makes my documentations more pleasing and informational. Personally, I read a lot of self-improvement books, technical, historical, biographical, Sherlock Holmes, and a novel or two in between. I have been researching my family tree since 1992 and love the thrill of the find after hours of detective work. I am pretty handy in the house so all the tools in the garage are mine - not my husband`s. Every room in our house I have either done major work on (insulating walls, fixing leaks, replacing drywall, etc) or just repainting and decorating. I also search thrift stores and alleys for furniture that needs rescuing and bring them back to their old glory. ©
