more normal people, they are hard to find!
the basics would be: Dave Matthews, KT Tunstall, Madonna, Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Indigo Girls, Alanis, Bob Seager, Jack Johnson, lots more, but mostly listen to the radio for a constant variety and stuff I can sing along to in the car with only Dylan as a witness, poor kid, mom cannot sing!
yes, love them! long time faves would be: When Harry Met Sally, Stand by Me, Orgazmo, Office Space, Harry Potter, used to love scary thrillers but motherhood took the fun out of those, get too worked up now! Also a sucker for anything romantic, not the warm and fuzzy kind, but the real stuff, where you laugh and cry and most importantly, never doubt that they were meant to be together - destiny and all that!!
Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break reruns of Sex and the City, Everybody Loves Raymond, X-Files
Magazines- Health, Parenting, Energy Times, but even those are stacking up unread for lack of time. I have a stack of books by my bedside, but just too tired these days to dig in.
Lately, my grandmother, she survived 6 kids (two sets of twins) and they are so close now as adults, inspires me as a mother and how I want my family to be. Also my kids, they teach me the important things in life every day.
