Roll with the punches and the laughter! It's the only way to truly live life to it's fullest!

About Me

..Yeah yeah yeah, I know I haven't gotten anything up here yet. I'm working on it!If you want to know something about me that I haven't put up here, ask...but only ask if you really want to know my honest opinion/answer. I rarely pull punches.

My Interests

Theatre (on stage, behind the scenes or in the audience), stand-up comedy, movies, my boys, Shakespeare, traveling, erotic literature (just seeing if you were paying attention...were you?), music, spontaneous adventures (well, as spontaneous as I can get being a single mom....which means at least two weeks advanced notice. LOL), playing poker, darts.....to be continued.

I'd like to meet:

People who have a true passion for life and laughter. People who, while they may complain about life's trials and problems, can still find the humor in even their darkest days.

Music:

I mostly listen to country music, but I love everythng from broadway to irish folk/drinking songs to 50's - 70's music. I can tolerate/enjoy every kind of music except gansta rap.

Television:

TiVo List: Big Brother 7, Quantum Leap, Heroes, Law & Order (Original, SVU & CI), Hell's Kitchen, Psych, So You Think You Can Dance, Monk, Last Comic Standing, M*A*S*H, Project Runway, Medium, World Series of Poker...

Books:

Latest things read: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Beauty Trilogy (by A.N. Roquelaure), The Devil Wears Prada, Much Ado About Nothing (My favorite Shakespeare piece), Stand Up Comedy: The Book (Judy Carter), the manual to my DVD burner, and my paralegal course books.

Heroes:

My mom. I can only hope that my boys feel the same way about me when they get past these crappy teen years where they think I know nothing.
