I love meeting new people and learning new things so my friends list may be very varied but that's because I like a little variety in my life.

My Interests

Music, books, poetry, writing, my family, my friends and alot of other things, AVON products

I'd like to meet:

Any of my LiveJournal friends because alot of them I have become very close to over the years. My grandfathers who all passed before I was born.

Create Your Own!

Music:

Country, pop, classic rock...basically anything. It's just good music, if you can feel it in your soul! is something I really believe in. I've tried to raise my kids to listen to everything that they can and not judge. Thus said, I like Bon Jovi, the Backstreet Boys, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney, Keith Anderson, Big & Rich, Chris Young, John Rich and a whole lotta others. Elvis as well.

Movies:

I like alot of movies. Gone With the Wind is probably my all time favorite. But I like comedies and horror and of course a good sappy romantic movie. Action movies, well, it all really depends. The "Blade" series is good. I liked "Friday Night Lights" and "50 First Dates". I don't think I could list all my favorites so I won't even try.

Television:

I don't watch much television these days, but I do like Survivor and CSI so Thursday night is my TV night. Also Wrestling and lately Dancing with the Stars...

Books:

Just about anything by Nicholas Sparks. I just started reading Jodi Picoult books so trying to get caught up on her. I read just about anything I can get my hands on. I am a member of Bookcrossing.com and love to get book recommendations. My "To Be Read" list is growing larger and larger by the minute and it will take me a lifetime to read everything.

Heroes:

Members of the US Armed Forces past, present and future.

My Blog

Phew....
