About Me


Create Your OwnAs you can see, I love Sock Monkey and I love to paint. I paint other things too but have been in the mood to paint Sock Monkey lately. I usually paint animals, especially dogs. I work full time as a chemist and have 2 kids and a boyfriend who is also an artist. My son is 16 and has a profile on My Space, but I can't fine it. I haven't gotten the hang of it yet. My daughter is 9 and hopefully does not have a profile on My Space.I love to joke around and laugh. It's how I handle stress. If not for humor I would not be able to cope with life. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by people who also love to laugh, both at home and at work. I think I got most of my sense of humor from my dad. My brother and I have similar feelings on what is funny. My mother is funny too and I think she also uses humor to feel better. She loves to watch King of the Hill. Dad watches South Park. My favorite is Family Guy. Both my parents think Beavis and Butthead is hilarious, so they are pretty cool. I work with funny people too. The other day at lunch we were watching Weird Al videos on the computer at work and laughing until we were almost crying.I love animals and have 5 dogs. Three are Italian Greyhounds, one is a Chihuahua, and one is a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix. We also have a Uromastyx lizard and a box turtle. My son wants a bird but I think we have enough pets. Birds are messy, but other than that I like them. I like cats too but am severely allergic to them.I love old houses and old neighborhoods with mature trees. I enjoy looking at any kind of old buildings with architectural details that are no longer produced today. I love knowing the history of the buildings. One day I would like to take an old building and make a house out of it. I have an old house that is called an English Revival style. It was a very small house at first but was expanded into the attic a long time ago. It looks like a cottage. People who lived here before me planted many beautiful azaleas which I enjoy every spring.I've always liked motocycles and bought one about 2.5 years ago. I usually just ride it back and forth to work, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of that while saving gas. Last week a SUV made a left turn in front of me and I wrecked, but at least I didn't hit the SUV. I was very lucky with only 2 cuts and a few bruises. My motorcycle (Buell 500) was also lucky, with only broken signal lights on the right side. When I was a kid I had a dirt bike and rode on trails in the woods. It would be neat to do that again.I never watch television while at home. I just don't like it. I am too busy, or resting from being too busy, or reading. Sometimes I watch DVDs of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, or the Osbournes.I dream of having a nice camper someday, or maybe a cabin in the woods that I can visit on weekends and relax. I want a hammock too.I hope that people enjoy my art and that it makes them happy. I generally do not like depressing art, although I've done a couple of pieces that reflected some of my inner sadness. But that is why I did the paintings, to get it out and move on. I like making people happy and being a good person. I don't have the energy to do all that I would really like to do for people.OK, I think that is more than enough about me!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Oh, this is a hard one! I'm afraid that if I met a lot of the famous people that I think are neat, I would be disappointed! You never know how people are! However, I did go to Comic Con in San Diego earlier this year and met some actors that seemed like very nice people. So, assuming I would not be disappointed, I would like to meet John Travolta, Prince, Axl Rose, Slash, and some of the people who work behind the scenes in TV and music. Since I don't watch much TV, I really am not familiar with names of famous people that I recognize. Maybe I can add to this later when I think of more. This isn't something I think about much, since it's not likely I will ever meet any of these people anyway. Oh, but I must also add Weird Al Yankovic. From what I have read he seems like a good person as well as talented and fun. I watch his White and Nerdy video almost every day to lift my mood. I am pretty white and nerdy myself. See?
