It's better to burn out...than fade away

About Me

I am a little bit country and a little bit (OK ALOT) rock n roll. Music is my life..my joy..my hobby. I am a teacher but SERIOUSLY thinking of going into another field, but I have gotten spoiled with all the time off!! I love my friends dearly and couldn't imagine life without them. I love the ocean. I like to travel and am always up for a roadtrip!!! I believe that everything is better with tequila. I can be a girly girl. My friends say I can be opinionated...I edited my profile at MsPremade.com . check out these Myspace Layouts!

Television:

It is usually just on as background noise. Usually VH1 Classic, Arena Rock on Music Choice, HGTV, or The Style Network. I like South Park but usually forget that it is on. Sometimes I get lucky and catch it! Old Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, and Sesame Street when I am stressed. Oddly enough...The Weather Channel (great info on there for my Earth Science students!)

Books:

Pride and Prejudice...Emma...Mansfield Park... anything by Jane Austen. Any type of Chick lit...real life is too stressful to read books I have to think about while reading!

Life is precious

Once again I am reminded just how precious life really is. Wednesday night a former coworker (and good friend) passed away. He was only 43. He leaves behind two young children. My heart breaks fo...
