This special gazer is known to almost all now and she knows shes loved by us all........ movin.on_09................ Celina is awesome. She makes me laugh and alot knows that is hard to do. I sent her the questions and she filled them out in her own special way (which I loved) so here is Celina's story........

Bernie asked if I would jump in the spotlight this month but I prefer a dim light myself. I am usually a very private person, so to put myself out there is a lil nerve racking for me. If you find yourself getting bored then pick up a Dr Suess book, I am sure it will be more interesting. Lol In the lobby you know me as movin.on_09 followed by lmbo, as that is what I do best lol. To the rest of the world I am known as Celina aka Pee-Wee. (as I am just under 5 foot tall and keep looking for the scale to give me 3 digits).

I come from a large family. Eight is enough would be our family motto. I register as number 6 with 5 older brothers and 1 younger. The baby of the family would be my #1 sis. I was born December 28, 1964 (I will let you practice your math skills as to my actual age) lol. Born and raised in New England, Fall River Massachusettes to be exact. Raised mostly by my adoring grandparents, as when I was 2 years old I had the unfortunate mishap of getting run over by an automobile. A broken arm and a few skin graphs on my abdomen and I was good to go. I really can't recall too much of it thank goodness.

I was twelve years old when I lived full time with my parents and siblings. My oh my was that a shock to my lifestyle. I went from being a spoiled little brat to just being a brat lol. Don't let my Mom know that I admitted to that ok? Thanks!!!

In high school I was an average student enjoying extracurricular activity much more so then academics. Graduation was approaching quickly and I realized I was not ready for college and if I stayed on the same path I was on I would be headed for disaster. So I joined the US Navy. Served 6 and half years as a yeoman. Met and married my first husband while stationed in California. Upon hearing the news that we were expecting I applied for a pregnancy discharge as I wanted a more stable lifestyle for my children. My husband was from a quiet little town in Illinois. We decided that would be more of an acceptable environment to start our family then the big city atmosphere that I was raised in.

Since living in Illinois I have given birth to 3 great kids, 1 son and 2 daughters. My son is 23 who is attending Western Illinois University and changing his major every semester lol,. My oldest daughter is 22 and attends Illinois State University with a communications and English major. My youngest daughter is 15 and a sophmore in high school her major is boys at the moment loll "sigh". They are my world and my best friends. When my two oldest children started school I returned to the work force as a living skills specialist with the adult special needs community. I also returned to school were I received a degree in physical therapy as an assistant. Unfortunately I was going through a divorce and a very stressful time and I did not pass the boards so I am not licensed to practice. I had 3 chances to take boards and failed by no more then 3 points each time (a lot like my tourney scores loll).

I picked myself up brushed myself off and returned to the special needs community only this time I focused on the children. Which brings me where I am at currently. I work at an elementary school in the special education department. I work one on one with the special need and behavioral students. One of the most stressful but by far the most gratifying and the most rewarding job that I have had.

It was my 2nd and I might add my last divorce and my daughter complaining that she was the only kid on the planet without a computer in her house that made me come to the decision to purchase one. Well being that I am a game freak it didn't take me very long to find the game rooms. I played spades frequently but had a thirst to learn how to play suicide spadesÉÉ.so off to ssl4 I went. I was not there very long before the entertainment in the lobby caught my interest almost as much as the game itself did. I joined in a few conversations and low and behold I was invited to join a league.

My first thoughts were hmmmmm do I really want to do this? I am here to escape the real world basically do I really want to be part of a league I asked myself.. Then I told myself well if it doesn't work out nothing lost. So I joined Stargazers and found me much more then entertainment I found a family.I didn't lose anything it was all a gain.

Stargazers is more then just a league and more then a bunch of peep's coming together for a good time. It is like a family reunion only better cuz we actually like each other unlike some of our relatives loll I am honored to have gotten the chance to meet the people I have in this league. No where have I experienced a group of strangers with such compassion and caring as the members of this league. No matter what kind of a day I am having I can come into lobby and find a smile a ((hug)) and a pick-me-up.

And who knew that one could do so many different things??? Where else can you go and play baseball,have an accident, then spin the bottle. Experience a death of a king, then play follow the leader, jump in bloody mirrors, and then request anything goes and have a blast doing it all with some of the best people on this planet. Nowhere I say. So I come to gazers everyday after work and hang out with my friends until it's time to bid them good night and sweet dreams.

Thank you, Celina, for showing us how you became (and still are) a brat, lol! You are awesome and I am so glad you are a Gazer. love ya..........
