Well, I am obviously more than a little late replying to this thread! I loved reading about everyone and their interests!
My name is Jennifer (obviously) and I'm 30 years old. I was born and raised here in Syracuse, NY. I love my hometown and have no plans to leave. I did live in NYC in Manhattan a few years back but I missed my family and got sick of living underground, spending half my day on a subway, and seeing rats everyday of my life! I love NYC but I would never live there again!!! Unless I was a millionaire of course!

I noticed that there are a lot of artistic people here! I, unfortunately, am not one of them! I can do paint-by-number but that's about it. I knit and I enjoy it but all my blankets come out a little crooked!

In the summer time, I am outside as much as possible! I love taking Duncan for walks and to the dog park. My best friend owns a boat and she keeps it in a resort town on the St. Lawrence River about 1 1/2 hours from here so I go there every weekend to relax. I love camping, boating, swimming, hiking anything outdoors in the summer! I'm a sunshine junkie!! (With SPF 45 on of course, because I'm Irish and burn!!) The winter is a different story!!! I don't enjoy any outdoor activites if it gets under 70!! I used to ski but gave it up because I don't like to be cold!!

I work a second job as a bartender at Applebee's restaurant 2 nights a week in the summer and 4 in the winter. So that keeps me very busy too. But it's fun, most of the time!! There are nights when I leave my day job and just want to go home and relax but for the most part I enjoy it. It definitely keeps me busy. On my nights off I have to do laundry and housework and errands, etc....

I am very close with my mother and father also and spend as much time with them as I am able too. I have an older brother who is a doctor, married to a doctor that lives in Maryland, that I adore. They are expecting their first baby in November. My younger sister lives here and has 3 children. I'm not as close with her as I would like....maybe someday....

I love to read and will read almost anything I can get my hands on! Sometimes I feel like the library is running out of books for me!! I love the Lillian Jackson Braun Cat Who books also...as well as John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, the "Bridgit Jones" type authors too.

I LOVE Harley Davidsons but I don't get to enjoy them often since I dont' have one!! I do have a motorcycle, a 1972 Honda 250 that I bought to learn how to ride on. I haven't used it the past year and will probably sell it. I enjoy it but it's not conducive to 85 lb dogs!!! I do attend every motorcycle event I can in the area though to gawk!

I have a BS in Psychology but I work at an insurance company. It's a terrible job and I despise it and will hopefully be getting a new one soon! *fingers crossed* I don't watch much tv because of my busy schedule but I do love Law and Order reruns! Movies, totally out of the question!!! I can't sit still long enough to watch one!! I did see Harry Potter in the movie theater but since I had already read the book I knew what was going to happen and I fell asleep!!
I hope to get back into horseback riding and do some volunteer work once I get a new job and am able to quit the 2nd job!! As it is now, I spend a lot of time just taking care of Duncan and myself!

As for traveling, I would love to be able to travel around the United States. The only other country I have been to is Canada. I would love to travel to Europe someday but for the most part I'm happy here. I'm not very adventurous I guess So many of my friends have traveled and moved to other states and cities but I am perfectly happy right here!!

Well, I've babbled long enough. I'm finding myself pretty boring compared to the rest of you!!

What a great bunch of people here at Pet Talk!!
