You laugh because I'm different, I laugh because you're all the same.

About Me

I'm a single mom of two. Carefree and easy going, cynical and sarcastic. I'm bluntly honest, a great listener, and a loyal friend.

My Interests

My kids, my family, my friends, my work.

I'd like to meet:

FRIENDS FRIENDS FRIENDS JUST FRIENDS!

Music:

I listen to pretty much everything. Seriously.

Movies:

Eh....I have little attention span for the crap put out today.

Television:

Football (especially college - GO NOTRE DAME!), NASCAR, baseball, an occasional episode of Smallville, and American Idol. Those are pretty much the only times the TV is turned on.

Books:

I enjoy mysteries, biographies...but one of the most relaxing things ever is to pick up a book I haven't read since junior high or high school. The Chronicles of Narnia, A Separate Peace, Cold Sassy Tree, A Tree That Grows In Brooklyn are some of my favorites :o)

Heroes:

My dad.... I love and miss you Daddy! My mom, WO (my other dad), and Rae. ..

My Blog

Grandma....

Lois Bernice Myers Langen, born August 12, 1917, passed away June 19, 2008. My grandma.....a matriarch. Five strong, successful children, seventeen grandchildren, I lost count of how many great-grandc...

Sometimes

it's best to keep your mouth shut and your feelings to yourself . Simply put, it's just not worth expending the energy to put it all out there. It won't do a damn bit of good because......just because...

Couple of thoughts

that I admittedly took from a couple of people... Look for the person who will make you a priority, not an option. If you can't handle me at my worst, don't expect to have me at my best. I really nee...
