About Me

THIS IS WHAT KEEP ME GETTING UP EVERY MORNING!1-My Daughter,2-Music,3-Fast Cars,4-Computers,5-Creative Arts*** My daughter - It goes without saying that my daughter is the light of my life. I can't imagine what my life would be without her. I open my house to her and her friends as often as I can and I really enjoy it. The noise, the craziness, dancing with the kids, but most of all I love hearing her laugh and seeing her gorgeous smile. I know she has been going through some bad times lately and want her to know she is my hero. She is so much more together than I was at 22. She is awesome!!!

My Interests

**LOVE FAST CARS** - have a 2006 Z4 Beemer, a 1997 Z3 Beemer and a 1976 Corvette (actually my husband's but I drive it too). I commute 80 miles each day to work up a long winding canyon - WOO HOO! is it fun to cruise the Beemer up that canyon - if only the other cars would get out of my way! *****COMPUTERS***** - Yep! That's where the "Girl Geek" comes in. I was a girl geek long before most of you even knew what a geek was. I love anything to do with computers. Worked in the software industry for umpteen years - if there is a way to do anything on the computer instead of the "old" way, I do it by computer.I AM A GIRL GEEK AND PROUD OF IT!****Creative Arts**** - I am currently working as a combination Interior Designer / Operations Director so that combines my love for computers and my love of being creative as well. I know it's a strange combination but that's me, strange.

I'd like to meet:

new friends and reconnect with old friends. " ....

Music:

At the center of my heart is my love for playing music. I play guitar (6 and 12 string-acoustic and electric-and bass) keyboards, and sing. Played/sang in bands for 18+ years. There is never a time of day or night that music is not playing in my mind. I also play violin but I really suck at it - but I have fun and I am getting better (although the dogs still howl when I play violin-LOL)

Movies:

I am a sucker for movies with strong female characters and happy endings. My all-time favorite is SHIRLEY VALENTINE - what a great movie!

Television:

LOVE: LAInk (yes, I do have tattoos-pix coming soon!), Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and any program that is about Hauntings/Ghosts. HATE: Goofy sit-coms, CSI:Miami(talk about fantasy!), Soap Operas, animated shows.

Books:

Any really obscure book that no one has ever heard about - rarely like the bestsellers that everyone raves about. My Geek-i-ness shows in my all time favorite series; Dragonriders of Pern.

Heroes:

MY DAUGHTER, SHEENA; my mom, Glenna; Lauren Bacall, Bonnie Raitt, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sandra Day O'Connor

REDHEAD'S RANT - SO WHAT'S THIS BLOG ABOUT

It seems I spend a lot of time these days (nights) trying to find answers to life's questions. Did I do this as much when I was younger? I don't remember doing it. Maybe it is a product of having...
