The only difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is the way we use them

About Me

I got married on November 12th to the most wonderful man in the world. We had a beautiful perfectly "us" ceremony. (More pictures to come soon) He is my soulmate and my best friend. Being with him truly is a dream come true. I like to believe that I'm down to earth and easy-going. I'm open-minded and believe that others should be too. Your opinion is welcome but don't push it on me type thing. I love to write and tend to babble in conversation sometimes. I enjoy art and creativity; things that stimulate the mind, heart and soul. If you look hard enough in this crazy town there is many places to find those things. I'm a proud mom of a beautiful nine year old daughter. She has taught me much about life. You have children knowing you are to teach them, but if you're open they will teach you. I value my friends and consider most of them like family. My theory is if you can't have positive people around you to enjoy life with, then you're not really living it. I love music, and find great pleasure in reading lyrics. If you know of any new and interesting music, send it my way. If you'd like to say hi please do...I'm always up for new friends. Please say hi though, if you try to add me without saying hi first I probably won't add you.

My Interests

Outdoors, relaxing with friends. I love music, especially live music

I'd like to meet:

Vanessa Mae....she is a violinist and I would some day love to play like her. People who are real enough to be who they are...More true friends, people with no drama

Music:

I listen to just about anything from some classical stuff (jazzed up a bit) to metal. I have taste for it all

Movies:

I've been into the Al Pacino kick lately!

Books:

I've been hooked on Laurel K Hamilton lately

Heroes:

A hero is something I think about when I read superman...someone who's held me together when I'm breaking....that is a Savior.

My Blog

Social Commentary-Fair Weather Friends

Ok well I usually I don't respond to what I like to call "myspace drama" but this one is pissing me off so I choose to comment.  I'm sure many of you read CJ's bulletin about someone's surreal co...

Job frustrations......plus some happy wedding notes

Ok what can I say but I HATE my job.  I know most people don't really love their job, but at this point I can honestly say I HATE it.  It's to the point that I don't sleep well at night beca...

The blog that will leave your head spinning ( or some life realizations)

Well I'm not sure where to begin so this may be like one of those movies that jumps from present to past so hold on and try to keep up.  I've been told lately by someone who's known me for over 6...

The Sweetest Thing

I just have to share this story I think it is just so sweet. I belong to this freecycle group (basically a group that gives others stuff that they no longer need, instead of throwing it anyway) Anyway...

Parents...suck!

My parents have been a source of my fraustration for as long as I can remember.  As a child and a teenager they made my life hell.  They made my self esteem one of the lowest points in my li...
