About Me



My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!

What to say about me? Well, I live in Bay City, Michigan. What's Bay City's claim to fame? Maybe Madonna -- who was born here. But we've also got Midland Street and the former Hell's Half Mile. I am the mother of three fabulous children (two girls and a boy). I also have an Irish Setter, Charlotte. I love to cook, shop, read, write, travel, and hang out with friends.

Books:

I am an avid reader and love, love, love books!! In the all-time favorites list we have Wuthering Heights (a chick book if ever there was one), Jane Eyre, and Little Women. Right now, though, I'm loving "Chick Lit" authors like Sophie Kinsella, Jane Green, Helen Fielding (a/k/a Bridget Jones author) and Jennifer Weiner. I've also read most everything by Stephen King, John Grisham, and Michael Crichton. From time to time, I've hopped onboard the Oprah's Book Club train so I get a little material that requires a little more thought once in awhile! What I'm reading now: Iris Johanssen series.

I was born in 1973, and for a long time I thought that the "Seventies" were the red-headed stepchild of music.  I am one of those people for whom music defines a time in their life.  Music, ...
