I am here for Friends

About Me

Just happy to have my hubby home at night.

My Interests

Taking care of our new puppy! Reading. Intense intellectual conversations and laughing REALLY hard. Food of almost any kind, except Indian Curry. Thai curry kicks ass, though. So does my cat, Shyanne. Laughing so hard at what my hubby says that my sides hurt.

I'd like to meet:

Cesar Millan aka The Dog Whisperer. Maybe HE can work the miracle of getting our puppy to HEEL!!!! AND The editor of Real Simple magazine, to see if I could do her job someday. (I have a hunch the answer is a definite yes). AND Of course, the Legend who calls himself Jon Stewart.

Music:

I've been to a few concerts, but this was a tiny venue and it was mind-blowing! The best concert experience ever. I've seen Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, Tori Amos (2X!!), Jewel, and a few others. I love Pink Floyd, Led Zep, The Rat Pack, Dido, Alanis, old Metallica, oompa-loompas doing house. Tori Amos, Sigur Ros, Mazzy Star, Staind, Big Band, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, Jim Croce, Prince, Coldplay, Ben Folds, Alicia Keys, The Doors.

An Entire Year Alone

For four months (almost to the day) I've been lamenting the fact that we live in this part of the world.  More particularly, that we live in this state, metro area, neighborhood and house.  ...
