It's hard to describe yourself, your personality, your life, in a few paragraphs.... I live in northern MN with my husband, kids, pets... unfortunately swapping sometimes has to take second place. I admit I have been late on swaps (due to health and family reasons), but I am always in contact with those that I am late on sending and they all mostly have been very forgiving (and I have done the same to people that contact me about being late). Swapping and getting fun mail is my "outlet", my way to relax. I did fall behind for a bit. Most were very polite and forgiving and understand that they will get their swaps (eventually). And others... well... do you really need to get SO upset? Would you really be THAT rude to me in person??? Really??? You have no idea what I've been through, quit being so rude.

About my ratings:

We had some family health issues {{husband very ill and had a stroke (still recovering), my 4-wheeler/ATV accident}} and some of my swaps were delayed. (Unfortunately one swap had 4 partners, which resulted in a few 3s, just from one swap.) And yes, I was late on sending these out.

UPDATE - CURRENT INFO

I realize it has been a few years since I have swapped here.... I have moved and am getting life back into order ;) Am very grateful to anybody that lets me join their swaps.

Thanks (hugs), Barbi
