About Me

Born and raised in New Jersey but I've been in Arizona for 27 years. Married to the legendary BenJBorracho for 9 years.

I was a volunteer with CatholicOnline from 1995-2001. I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers me from back in the old chat room days. image hosting site

My Interests

Knitting, crochet, reading, cooking, and sewing. Veggie gardening.

I'd like to meet:

Ina Garten, Martha Stewart and Bobby Flay. But only if they'll make me lunch. Queen Elizabeth, mostly because I think it would be cool to have tea with her and compare our dysfunctional families.

Music:

Nephews Jeff and Kyle will disagree, but music began to suck in the mid '80s and hasn't interested me since. I play old Rich Mullins tapes in the car and whatever '70s stuff Mr. B picks up for me at Bookmans. Mainly- I'm a talk radio gal.

Movies:

Anything Merchant/Ivory made. Anything Jane Austen related. Movies I can't turn off when I see them on TV - A League of Their Own, Goodfellas, Emma, Under The Tuscan Sun.

Television:

I'm a news junkie at heart. Also love BBC America and EWTN. Can't miss Project Runway and Top Chef. Love most celeb reality shows and my compadres on Biggest Loser and Celebrity Fit Club. I'm still missing West Wing, OZ, and The Sopranos.

Books:

I Love Frances Mayes and Peter Mayle type books - you know - "Screw the world, I'm moving to (either France or Italy) to get away from it all and and have some crazy adventures!" When is someone going to turn "On Rue Tatin" into a movie?

Heroes:

JPII. Both my Grandmothers for the quiet dignity and the courage to play the hand that life dealt them.

Everybody Hurts

I found this in a Catholic forum today. I liked it so I decided to repost it here.   "EVERYBODY HURTS" When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, Come to me, all you who labor ...
