I am here for Friends

About Me

I currently live in San Antonio and teach 8th grade. One of these days, my husband and I want to move to Vegas and gamble for the rest of our lives :) I am a wife, mother, teacher, and currently very interested in politics.

My Interests

Traveling, Vegas, Poker, Music, Movies, Books, dining out, hanging out with friends @ Starbucks and spending time with my husband and kids.

I'd like to meet:

Well, right now, I'd like to 're-"meet some of those goofy people I went to high school with. It's been 20 years and I can't remember faces. And since Ron Mahan has had my yearbook for these past two decades, I don't have the luxury of looking them up!I'd also like to see again my 'Focus' buddies. I love you people!

Music:

Classic 80's, Corrine Bailey Rae, Creed, Bowling for Soup, Scissor Sisters, and a variety of other things.

Movies:

Action, Adventure, Romantic Comedy, Drama.Recent Favorites - There haven't been any movies out lately that I've truly enjoyed.

Television:

Lost, 24, Medium, Monk, Heroes, Dresden Files

Books:

Fiction mostly. I will read adult or young adult (have to keep up with my students!), I also read anything by Stephen King, Joe Hill (who's almost as good as his father), Janet Evanovitch, Nora Roberts, Barbara Delinsky and vairous other authors. Whatever catches my eye pretty much. Books are my passion and you can't ever tell me that reading is not important. If you can't read, you can't do anything!

Heroes:

My husband. He's a truly amazing genius. Robin, for her beauty and strength, Kari for her grace and courage, my students for their perseverance, hope and youth.

Last Day of School 2007

Today was the last day of school for my students - my 8th graders are soon to be high schoolers and don't need me any more. I know that teachers are not supposed to get attached to their students but ...

Why is it...

Why is it when you go to the doctor when you are NOT sick, you'll get sick within a short period of time? I went to the doctor on Friday because I needed to talk to her about the migraines that I've b...

New Year

I hope that for the new year, I can become a more patient person. Growing up the way that I did, it is difficult for me to have patience with moronic drivers, stupid questions, and things that make yo...
