Okay, I'm game:1. I have a host of medical problems - most of which stem from my initial diagnosis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (S.L.E or lupus) and take 25 pills daily, not including OCT (over-the-counter) or PRN (only taken as needed) medications.

3.I played viola for 6 years (about 15 years ago) and I can still read the music but haven't actually played in many years.
4. I like all kinds of music, but mostly listen to Christian "Pop/Rock", pop, alternative, classical, and rock.
5. Because of my lupus, I'm disabled and still live with my parents (at the age of almost 32), which is every bit as awful as it sounds.

Hi Phoebe! I live in Michigan currently :-) Just moved from Kalamazoo, to Hillsdale which is South Central MI.
Hi, Kelly! How do you like MI so far?
Phoebe wrote: "Hi, Kelly! How do you like MI so far?"Well I've been in Michigan(Kalamazoo) for about 8 years. Really liked it there, but my husbands job is what moved us recently to another part of the state. Really loving the change of being in a small town now. Everyone is so friendly as opposed to larger cities I've lived in where people more stick to themselves.
