"Be Who You Are & Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter & Those Who Matter Don't Mind"
Although I wholeheartedly believe this - I also believe that being who you are and speaking your mind shouldn't be confused with a license to injure people with your words and actions.

AND NOW - JUST WHO IS TAMMY?
In a nutshell - I am someone's wife and soulmate, someone's mom, someone's grandchild, someone's Nana, and someone's friend. If you want more details - look around my profile - most of it is here - or - ask me!
~All Because Two People Fell In Love~
I am happily married to the man of my dreams. There is no doubt in my mind that when God created us both - he had the other in mind. We are just that perfect of a fit. I am very spoiled by my husband - and I love every minute of it. We have a large family - seven children - four girls and three boys, as well as two grandchildren so far. I love, love, LOVE babies so I am really excited about our family growing more throughout the years.
I enjoy music, auctions, refinishing furniture, reading, writing,gardening, and anything Lucille Ball. Every once in awhile I get the "ebay bug" ...and well...
I have deep faith - but I am not religious. I focus on worshiping the Lord - not the rituals of organized religion. If you don't understand this concept - ask me. There is a difference. I'll never push religion down your throat but if you want to hear about my walk with God...just ask me. I am a born-again Christian that believes you should live your life in a pay it forward manner. I'm not a traditional Christian and I'm not a bible thumper. Being a Christian isn't a butt in the pew and a buck in the plate - it's the way you live your entire life - not where you spend your Sunday mornings. My husband and I are very involved with our church. We consider the people that go to church with us - our extended family. Here's a shout out to you Fish Locker Ministries - YOU ROCK!
I fight for what and who I believe in. That's just how I am. I am outspoken and blunt. Honesty is the key. I don't mince words. I had a bad habit of letting people walk all over me but lately I'm finding it easier and easier to speak my mind and say "no." I am a very "giving" person but I've also learned that you can give until it hurts.
I love animals. I like my animals better than most people some days. I have 2 dogs (Pug and Sheltie), ferret, 2 cockatiels, two bettas, 3 cats and a aquarium. I would love to have another bearded dragon, as well as a chinchilla and flying squirrel - but I'll have to save that for another day. I will one day open a Pug Rescue. Until that time - I will do what I can to help out any Pug in need. If you know a Pug that is in distress for any reason - or in a shelter in Maryland or Delaware please let me know.
I like people that are interesting, open, funny, and H-O-N-E-S-T! I tend to befriend men faster than women because guys don't usually partake in the whole gossip and "knife in the back" antics that women do. I don't like catty women, I don't like women that I refer to as "foo-foos" and I despise cliques. I'm not in any cliques - not because I couldn't be - but because I choose not to be.
I work from the comfort of my own home. I am fortunate to have found a company to work for that allows me to telecommute. I am also self employed - a company that is music ministry related. I don't mind adding bands but please don't spam me. That really gets on my nerves. Trust me, I believe in promotion but spam is irritating. I do not join street teams and groups for bands. That's just the way it is. Please don't ask for a favor - please don't ask me to work for free - please don't ask me for contacts. Yes, I'm sure I have the information you're looking for but I'm not a non-profit organization. I have bills to pay - just like you. If you are interested in having me work with you then read the blog "So, you're in a band."
I am a Market America Distributor. Yes, I sell that "pink stuff." If you don't know what "that pink stuff" is then you should ask me. If you, or anyone you know, shops online and you/they are not a Market America Distributor then you're wasting hard-earned money. Ask me why. If you've ever dreamed of owning your own business (even if you think you don't have the money) you should message me. I can help you.
I live a life of simple abundance. I'm not taken with great shows of money or material things. I can have anything I want or need. If your motto is: "the one who dies with the most toys wins" - then you lose - I believe you're already "dead." We have nothing in common.
I don't talk to perverts. I will block you if you are rude or raunchy. I enjoy a good joke - but don't "hit" on me. Thanks. The words "sweetie", "honey" "babe", etc are reserved for my husband - and you're not him so don't go there either.
People with no ambition or drive irritate me. Whiners irritate me. People who want something for nothing irritate me. People who judge others - irritate me. People who mind other people's business - irritate me. People who gossip and spread rumors - irritate me. Two faced people - irritate me. People who talk out their butt - irritate me. People who bash other people - irritate me. Back stabbers - irritate me. Jealous people - irritate me. Lazy people - irritate me. People who want to involve you in their drama and drag you down - irritate me. Am I irritable?
If you work hard but play harder - you're doing good. If you work hard but PRAY harder - you know what it's all about. If you live and let live - you're alright in my book. If you pay it forward - you've definitely grasped what it's really all about. Seeing that someone else is a sinner but knowing that you are one also - tells me that you've got it in prospective. Cast the first stone.
Don't add me just to jack the numbers up on your friends list. Add me if we have something in common. If you're a bulletin freak don't add me. If you bombard me with bulletins or use my comment space to spam me I will delete you. I won't do it to you - and I ask the same in return. If you've taken a good look at my friends list lately - you'll notice that I delete people continuously. I give most people a chance - but once I notice something "offbeat" - I click the delete button faster than you say something else raunchy or hit me with another bulletin. It's a fact.
You only live once - embrace the dork within yourself - and have fun!
I love, love, LOVE to laugh and have a good time. I laugh A LOT and have a really bizarre sense of humor. Yeah, I am THAT girl in church who gets in "trouble." I try to be good - but that doesn't always happen. ::sigh:: I got my sense of humor from my grandfather - who began terrorizing me at an early age. Ask me why I have nightmares about gummy bears. In return, I got him in trouble - a lot. Why? Because I tended to repeat the things he said. He gave my grandmother a lot of gray hair. I once told my grandfather that I didn't know if I could behave enough to be a Pastor's wife - he looked at me and shook his head, kindof chuckled and said "yes, child, YOU are going to have to try REALLY, REALLY hard." That coming from the man that taught me the ropes. He would know. My grandparents are the bomb!
My love of laughter and my enjoyment of making others laugh took on a new life in the form of Christian Clowning. I have just started this new ministry and I'm excited about all the possibilities. I will be sharing lots of clowning stories as time goes on. I feel blessed that I'm surrounded by other friends who want to share my passion and laughs as clowns as well. I pray that we're able to deliver the Word, in a fun-filled way, to others who may not have been open to receiving it. Christian Clowns are called to be "fools for Christ's sake," to be weak so that others can be strong. We give away our power in words and action to become a "fool for Christ's sake" (1 Corinthians 4:10) What an honor and priviledge this is!
My husband and I have a cross ministry. We distribute nail crosses in a variety of ways. I have shared our story in my blog area - and there is a picture of the crosses both on the left side of my profile and in my picture area - in the album "my photos." If you are interested in receiving a nail cross please let me know.
I am very happily married. My husband is awesome. You should be jealous. I'm kidding! Remember - Exodus 20:17 "Thou shalt not covet..." Get it together ladies! =) Ok, back to the man - I am very proud of him. He is loving, supportive, faithful, spirit-filled, not afraid to show emotion; he lives, laughs and loves with me. He takes care of his family spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially - and he's not hard on the eyes - actually, he's darn good lookin! Just sayin.... He is currently studying to go into the ministry. He wants to work with the youth and the elderly and dying. All I can say is "Wow! I'm behind you all the way!" Here's a shout out to the man - You Rock! I love you more each day! Real men love Jesus - and tell somebody else - and you do!
My children are awesome! I could write a book about them! It would be bragging from cover to cover. They are all so different but have one quality in common - they are wonderful people! My son Paul looks the most like me. He has a hiliarious sense of humor, he's quiet and he gives awesome hugs. He works full time as a computer programmer and goes to college. My son Joe looks just like his father. He is a very compassionate and caring person who aims to please in everything he does. He works full time and writes music. My son Bob is the most athletic of the bunch. He has been "busy" since he was born - he's always on the move. He works as a computer technician and goes to college full time to study marine science. My daughter Misty is married and has two boys. She is a strong, intelligent, caring and loving woman. She works full time as a restaurant manager. My daughter Nikki is a brilliant artist and an awesome cook. Just thinking about her cheesecake makes me drool. She works as a Pre-School teacher - but aspires to have a career where she can put her art skills to work. My daughter Stephanie is the most outgoing and social of my girls. She lives to have fun and make others laugh. She doesn't really care what others think of her. She has deep faith and loves to work with children so it's no shock that she aspires to be a teacher. Our baby is the last of the girls - her name is Tori but we tend to call her Ladybug. She is very smart and talented when it comes to art, music, and her studies. She looks like Nikki and Stephanie combined - although Nikki and Stephanie look nothing alike. She loves animals and singing - and she aspires to be a veternarian. With all of our children, you can imagine what our house sounds like when they're all home - you're right - it sounds FANTASTIC! We have been very blessed to have so many children - who have turned out to be so wonderful - so different - so amazing!
I collect lighthouses, squirrels, and mice - and ANYTHING Lucille Ball and/or I Love Lucy! I also decorate a lot with nautical things - so I suppose you could say that I have a nautical collection.
I am the "baby lady" at church. I love it when people share their babies with me. Babies are awesome. Babies are our next generation - our leaders - our future. There is nothing like cuddling with a baby - or the "new" smell of a baby! I want many, many grandbabies!
I believe that you will find your answer on a splintered cross, on a craggy hill.
