Everybody got your buddy?

About Me

Ok, about me. Not as easy as I'd hoped. I am a happy person, even when I'm not. I am happy with where I am in life these days. And that is a huge thing. I have finally made it past the confusion and found out where I want to be and am I'm making my way.I have great friends who have seen my through some wild times. Two great kids who keep a smile on my face even when the ninja sword breaks the ceiling fan. A family that gives enough support to keep me running and enough freedom to let me go where I need.Man, that sounds a bit idealistic. And no, I don't think that life is a ball of warm fuzzy. There are bills to pay, literally and figuratively and bad stuff happens. But I suppose that I am at the point that I can look at the bad stuff and realize I can get past it, work through it and enjoy life anyway.I love where I am but I'd love to be traveling evenmore. Arkansas is beautiful when you are out in it. NC would be great, Back to GA would be awesome too. Is there such a thing as a traveling DCE? Just hopping from state to state, planning lessons and teaching? Is there an exchange program to Scotland? Maybe so, next stop the CoS website.So I guess I am a happy person, even when everything has me hacked, I'm still happy to be me, comfy in my skin and ready for the next adventure.

My Interests

Dancing, Jojo, this is for you. Football. That's right. College football. Love it, watch it, taught my kids to sing the fight songs before they could walk. Fishing, not serious, "gotta catch something or I'll be shamed for the rest of my life." The kind of fishing I do is more the "drop a line in the water, sit back, read, stare at the water, reel-in every once-in-a-while just to check and see if I have bait left" variety. Other than that just hanging out with friends and being outdoors. Campfires are the ultimate.

I'd like to meet:

Millard Fuller, had the chance last year but couldn't. Jimmy Carter, the Queen, William Sloane Coffin, any one willing, open and honest enough to enjoy a conversation with no beginning and no end.

Music:

I like a little of everything. Of course I will always be a David Lamotte fan. In the car is has to be loud rock-n-roll to cover up my bad singing. When I'm working it's usually country. When the kids are in the car it is the Hamster Dance. Sad but true. Damien Rice always seems to be good.

Movies:

LOTR - "I am no man!"; Princess Bride; Lawrence of Arabia; Love Actually; Sliding Doors; The Misson;

Books:

I think my days of reading for pleasure are numbered with these classes I'm taking. The last book that really blew me away was the Red Tent. Every woman should read it. I've tried to re-read all the books I was supposed to read in school and never did - so far it has just helped me to remember why I didn't read them the first time around.

Heroes:

Jojo and my grandfather. Also a huge fan of Jimmy Carter -truly a great person working for peace and justice even if he wasn't the best president.

My Blog

One Night

Ok, so maybe I was just in a very good mood or maybe it really was a good movie.  The WHY went out yesterday to see One Night With the King.  And yes, it was a bit long - just over two hours...
