My family is my main interest in my life but I also enjoy music, attempting to play my guitar, going to concerts, red wine and margaritas, reading, Middle Eastern cuisine, snuggling on the couch with my husband, candles, spicy foods, thrift/antique shops, camping, caring for people, swimming, watching the leaves change color, playing with my kids, nights in front of the fireplace, karaoke, sunflowers, shopping for myself and others, happy people with a good sense of humor, sunsets on the beach, reading a good book, long walks, playing card games (especially Gin),the Sopranos, people watching, cute purses, rainy days, collecting Beatles memorabilia, playing board games and spending good quality time with my girl friends.

Any kind of sappy romance flick and anything that can really scare me. The more disgusting the better (like Rob Zombie). Any movies The Beatles have done ( A Hard Days Night is my fave). I also enjoy David Lynch movies for the simple fact that I like my mind spinning.
My brain slowly rots while watching The Office, Scrubs, The Sopranos, Rock of Love, CSI, Law and Order, and ANYTHING on The Discovery Health Channel.
Trashy tabloid magazines and biographies of people who have made a difference.
Gloria Steinem, Thom Hartmann, Wanda Sykes, Annie Leibovitz, and all these folks:
