I'm a 50-something married woman, mother to two cats, living in eastern Pennsylvania. I was working full-time as a desktop publisher and copy editor, but I was laid off after completing 30 years of service at a Fortune 500 company. I'm currently taking classes to prepare for a healthcare related career. I spend much of my free time online, and going places with my husband. I have a website (primarily for posting vacation pictures) at sharonexner.com.
When I was living on my own, I was heavily into reading, watching science fiction movies and television, and doing counted cross stitch. Since I've gotten married, I've become an avid anime fan and have attended many anime conventions. I've also started traveling more, usually with my husband.
I decided to start this blog after I lost some weight (36 pounds between January and August, 2011). I wanted a place to record some of my thoughts on weight loss, and to post some of the recipes I've found online and enjoyed cooking. This blog won't be limited to just weight loss, but right now it's a subject that's taking up a lot of my attention.
This is a personal blog, so I'm going for that warm and fuzzy feeling, not something you'd expect from a professional blogger. If anything I post is of interest to anyone else, or better yet, helps someone else out, I'll be very happy!
