Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

About Me

About me....hmmm. I hate these. Okay I will give it a shot. I am Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2003. I work as a research technician at Texas A&M where we study Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I am married to a rootin'-tootin' Texan named Lance. He is a fireman, former bullrider-turned-team roper, and teacher. I think we fight just as much as we love, but it works that way. We live in College Station, Texas (about halfway between Houston & Austin). I like to say that most of my life involves feeding and doctoring critters. I have 6 animals at my house (three dogs, two horses and one husband...in that order) and I take care of animals at work, too. Something that I think fits me perfectly is that I want to do a lot of things, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.


My Interests

Wait, the ones I have time for or all of them? Books, music (mostly any kind), ranching, football, roping, barrel racing, hunting (rifle & bow), military history, science (mostly natural sciences), quilting, aviation...I could go on forever.

I'd like to meet:

Cindy Sheehan (so I can kick her in the twat), let me think a little more on this one.

Music:

Right now, I am really in to Texas Country. Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Kelly Willis, Cross Canadian Ragweed and the like. You can have Pat Green and Cory Morrow, I think they are sell-outs. I like classic rock, classical and a few alternative bands.REK - Gringo Honeymoon

Movies:

All time favorites: Hunt For Red October, Out of Africa and Giant. If all I had were those three DVDs, I would have a hell of a time trying to pick one. I also like old Westerns; The Shootist, all of Jimmy Stewart's westerns (Two Rode Together is the best), the Magnificent Seven. Even though it is now considered a "new classic", I love Dances with Wolves.

Television:

I am an admitted nerd when it comes to TV. I watch mostly the History Channel and the Science Channel. When I need a movie, it is the Westerns Channel or TCM/AMC. The only TV show that I am addicted to is Rescue Me on FX. I can't help it. Some of the shit that goes on there is stuff that happens at the fire station where my husband is at. I think FX has a good thing going there. I watched Desperate Housewives for the first time a few months ago. I was intrigued, but not enough to be excited when the new season opens. Same thing with Grey's Anatomy.

Books:

My favorite book is Colin Powell's "My American Journey". I have a copy that has been read and re-read over the years. I bought it on a whim in high school and it has been a bible for me ever since. Fiction is a good one-time read for me. I have read the entire "Sackett" series by L'Amour and they were all good, especially the first ones. I have also read the entire "Corps" series by W.E.B Griffen. It is fictional characters set to non-fictional events. I like mostly non-fiction.

Heroes:

My mom.
