About Me

Well, let's see now - I am 58 years old and I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I love to be with my family, read, watch TV, go to movies, take the dogs for walks, put the top down on my car a drive in the mountains. I live with my middle daughter and my 19 year old granddaughter (who BTW, thought I should have a my space page). I work part time for the AFLAC District Sales Office. I HATE getting old. They just had the 40 year reunion at my old high school in Houston, TX. 40 years - jeez louweezzzzz - who would have ever thought I would make it this far down the road. I am a "died in the wool" Texas girl. I have 2 more daughters who still live there. I also have 3 grandkids that live in Texas, an 18 yr old grandson, almost 4 yr old grandson and almost 2 yr old granddaughter. I miss them all way to much - so I am trying to work my way back to Texas again.

I'd like to meet:

In my life, I have met my fair share of famous people, mostly musicians, but I guess if I had to pick someone right now I'd like to meet, it would be Ann Richards. For those of you who don't know her - she was the 45th governor of Texas back in 1990.

Music:

I like alot of different types of music, rock, pop, but country is my favorite now. Gary Allen is my favorite artist, right along with Miranda Lambert (click anywhere on this pic), Sugarland , Reba ,Joe Nichols , Sawyer Brown . I like Buckcherry , Aerosmith , Led Zeppelin Jon Bon Jovi Bob Seger , Phoebe Snow, Janis Ian , , Journey , Natalie Merchant , Cher and on and on and on.

I liked Friday Night Lights , Remember the Titans , Under the Tuscan Sun , Riding in cars with boys ,Coyote Ugly Father of the bride (old and new) ,Pretty Woman ,Cheaper by the Dozen (old), Save the Last Dance , Kiss the Girls, Legally Blonde , Blue Crush , Chocolate . I don't care for gory movies - psychological thriller are OK.

How r u doing?

Well, here it is 9/14/06 and this year is three quarters gone. It has been a pretty rough year, of course brought on by my own stupidity. It doesn't make it any easier to deal with even if...
