Reading, writing poetry or humorous stories about the perils/challenges of being a housewife. My friends and family can tell you just how domestically handicapped I am! I also like doing family tree research.

Movies:

Secondhand Lions, The Notebook

Television:

Kind of addicted to "House" and "Grey's Anatomy" and any medical show on TLC

Books:

Love scary books...Dean Koontz is my favorite writer.

My parents. Anyone who ever met them can tell you why they are my heroes.
