ILUVWEEDS's Profile

Hi my name is Jo. I am a proud member of the 4-Oh club this year! I live about 20 miles south of Boston MA. I live in the City of Champions (home of Rocky Marciano and Marvin Hagler) Thomas Edison lit our streets when he lived here and the ground has been electric ever since! I am a HUGE Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics and NE Patriots FAN! I am happily married to my high school sweetheart (OK we went to different high schools) of 21 years. I have two kids a son who is 21 in college and currently working as a pharmacy technician and a daughter who is 17 years old and in her junior year of Tech high school, she also works at the pharmacy-both can be found myspacing or facebooking in their spare time....WE ALL LOVE TO GARDEN as we live in the city in a small (cozy) house on the hill--outdoors is our family room. Winter time is spent outdoors next to the fire pit. We all like to have friends over and entertain outdoors--we have arranged the gardens to be "rooms" - this allows all of  us to entertain a number of guests at the same time and the kids arent bothered by my heavy metal music!!!  We have a Black Lab, 4 cats & 2 fish. My occupation is a Business Administration and Finance Manager for a Vehicle Service Contract Administrator. I lend my creative talents to the company by developing new programs and creating new technology to implement new business--it is very challenging and very rewarding. Nights and weekends are spent diffusing and planting! Weekend nights--thats a different story however--those are spent entertaining with the tables set, walkways swept and candles lit--basically showing off the fruits of my efforts. I cant wait to upload pictures to this site. This year has been especially challenging and I am so looking forward to getting outdoors and watching the miracles of nature unfold in front of me--reminding me that through it all nature will prevail and I will get to smell the roses!!!

Nice to meet ya!
