Hi Everyone! Thought I would introduce myself...I am 'alegtostandon'...I have no idea how I came up with that name, has no meaning to me.
I live in El Mirage, AZ (a small farming community about 20 miles west of Phoenix which turned into a growing residential area about 10 years ago). I have lived in the Phx area on & off since the mid-70's when my mom moved us here after my parents divorce. Growing up, we lived in several different states due to my dad being transferred for his job, but do say that I am from Chicago area, was born there & still consider the outlying suburbs my hometown area.
One of the areas we did live in growing up was Houston. We were only there for about 2 years, this was in the late 60's & I was only 7/8 yrs old but remember it very well.

"I got really caught up in Bill and Jen when they moved to Houston. That's where I grew up, so I get a kick out of seeing stuff around town. I made my kiddo watch last week just so I could prove to him that there really is a train in Herman Park, so the pics of him on it were real..."
For some reason, my quote icon is not working, hope I don't get in trouble for not quoting correctly, but Steff, when you mentioned Herman Park, it made me remember, my brother was born in Herman Hospital, are they anywhere close?
Both my husband & myself are 'reality TV Junkies', myself more than him. I watch any and all reality TV. He is particular about his. We love Big Brother, Survivor & Amazing Race, and watch those together. He also loves the fishing reality shows. I love the TLC & Bravo shows.
I, too, am an animal lover - Have 2 cocker spaniels, Greta (12 yrs) and Hannah (4 yrs) plus 2 parakeets. My "dogs" are my girls. I also love working in the yard and have a year round tan to prove it.
I am so glad to have a site to come to after TWoP...one of my favorite things to do is to snark on a show & I love reading others posts and their opinions.
Look forward to getting to know all of you! I have been sneaking over here since March trying to get use to the layout and how it works.
Snark On!
