I ♥ my husband and my kids, first and foremost. I ♥ thrift stores and garage sales!! Shopping in general is the best pastime ever!! (unless of course it's for groceries.) I ♥ photography and photo editing. When I grow up I wanna take pictures for a living rather than do it just for fun. A few other things that are up there on my favorites list: I ♥ music. I &hearts: swimming. I ♥ meeting new people, making new friends, and keeping up with the old. I ♥ my Mom and Dad. I ♥ my Brother, Robert. I ♥ my Sister in law, Marie and my new Niece, Grace Melodie. She is named for her Great Grandmother and the very best friend that anyone could ever ask for. She had a ♥ of gold. We ♥ and miss you more and more each day. I♥ my step Son, Dominic. I ♥ my Nieces and Nephews: Brandon, Alexx, Christopher, and Jenna. I also ♥ the internet. As a family we ♥ doing things like go-karting, miniture golfing, bowling, catching a movie, going out to eat, camping, going to the beach, and/or going to Cedar Point. (for those of you who aren't familliar, Cedar Point is an ammusement park located on Lake Erie here in Ohio.) I ♥ birds. I'm the proud Mama to three. A cockatiel pair and a blue crowned conure. I ♥ my doggie, Incense. She's a 35 pound shepard mix that ♥'s attention. There are pictures here on my profile of all of them. Please take a moment to check them out, you wont be disappointed.
Since there isn't really a designated space for this, I will include it here.. If and when I find the time, I ♥ to sit down and type up blog entries on my other My Space account. Sometimes it just feels good to kick back, put your whole days (good or bad) worth of events on "paper" which makes it a little easier to put things into perspective. It's relaxing and it usually gives me something to do to occupy my already overactive mind.. Even if only for a minute or two.

I like alittle bit of everything, really. It's much easier to tell you what I don't like. I'm not a huge fan of country but some is okay. (Ghetto) rap sucks and I don't do any of that jazz or classical stuff either. .. Orchestra!! BAAAH! Borrrring!! I ♥ the 80's!! A few of my all time favorite artists are: Matchbox 20, Live, REM, Creed, Nickleback, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavinge, The Beatles, Madonna, Metallica, Etc...
My all time favorite movies include: ET, Titanic, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Grease, Billy Maddison, The Wedding Singer, The Wizard of Oz, American Pie, parts 1 and 2. Shrek parts 1 and 2, (can't wait to see the 3rd one thats due to come out this summer) Bruce Almighty, Just like Heaven, Blast from the Past, Back to the Future, (they were all good but 1 and 2 were the best), 16 Candles, The Notebook. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies.
I don't watch very much television but when I do, it's usually something on Lifetime, Discovery Health Channel, Court TV, or TLC. I try to avoid the local and world news at all costs. They never have any good things to report, so why bother? If and when you find me parked in front of the tube you can expect to see stuff like A Baby Story, Babies: Special Delivery, (even tho they always make me cry.) Forensic Files, Worlds Wildest Police Videos, Life In The ER, Stories Of Survival, Diagnosis Unknown, and/or Cops.
Does Cosmo magazine count as a book? LOL!! I don't have a whole lot of time to read but I like Flowers in the Attic by V.C Andrews and A Boy Called "IT" by David Pelzner. Shel Silverstein is one of my all time favorite poets and authors. Even though Shel has passed on, His Light in the Attic will never burn out, nor will his Sidewalk Ever End.. I ♥ The Giving Tree best of all. It's one of my girls' favorite stories too.
A few of my favorite poems by Silverstein are as follows ~My Beard ~ ♥ My beard grows to my toes
I never wears no clothes
I wraps my hair around my bare
and down the road I goesHug-O-War ~ ♥ I will not play at tug o' war.
I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins.
My beautiful barrowed angels; Karraleigh and Kerrianne. And of course I mustn't forget my loving husband, Ryan. They make me feel like the luckiest person in the world and they help keep me going from one day to the next. My Dad is also one of my biggest heros. He always offers the best advice, he's the smartest person I know, and his sense of humor is to die for. He definately knows how to keep me on my toes. I ♥ you too, Daddy. I'll always be your little girl. I ♥ each and every one of my heros unconditionally. I appreciate them for all that they've done for me and because they've never once let me down in my time of need.
