I am here for Friends

About Me

Get my banner code or create a flash banner Married, mom of 6. Homeschooled them for 18 years. Love God, family, and music. Love to read. Love to look out my window to watch the scenery and the wildlife. Back to music...I'll listen and enjoy just about anything except punk, rap, and country. Have a couple dogs and a couple crazy cats. It's kind of silly to try and sum someone up in a couple lines, though, isn't it? LOL!Get your layout on

My Interests

Music...isn't that why we're here? I love to play my guitar. Even though I'm not very good, it helps me stay sane. Books, art, computers sort of (don't know nearly as much as I'd like to), nature and the complex simplicity of it all. I love fall and taking walks. And I'm a photographer-wannabe. I love taking shots of sunsets, scenery, and flowers. Portraits are fun, too.

I'd like to meet:

I've met the one person I wanted to meet most...and his family. I wish, though, I'd gotten to talk to him more and gotten to know him better.

Music:

Some people who know me can answer this easily...The Cowsills. All of them...together and individually. Especially Barry. He was a genius. Beatles, The Stones, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow, movie soundtracks, just about anything with a big guitar sound. What amazes me is the amount of talent here on myspace.com. Some of the friends I've added are incredibly talented and I feel quite privileged to be able to listen to their work.

Movies:

All time fave is "The Quiet Man" with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. ALL the Harry Potter movies so far. Pirates of the Carribean, of course...Johnny Depp!!! Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood...you get the idea. Many MST3000's. Yeah, I gotta come back to this, too.

Television:

My #1 fave show is "Gilmore Girls" even though the series is over now. I enjoy "American Idol." Still love "Friends", too. I try to watch "What Not to Wear." It always makes me look "put together."

Books:

All the Harry Potter books,Anne of Green Gables, Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood...I don't get as much of a chance to read for pleasure anymore. I've read a ton of book strictly for information, though. Gotta keep the brain cells clicking somehow.

Heroes:

Our soldiers in harms way...and those learning to be soldiers, like my son in the Nat'l Guard.Susan Cowsill because...well, just because. And my dear friend, Kate.

My Blog

OW, dammit!

My category is life but it's kind of sucky at the moment.  Hmmm, seems the only time I write a blog is when I'm not doing so well, eh?  Oh, well, I'll get over it.  My son put a bi...

When it rains...

...it pours!  I'm sitting here wondering if my body is going to fall apart one piece at a time.  And I know that anyone reading this will probably not be all that interested in what my body ...

Its really been two years?

Has it really been two years since so many of us went to Newport, RI to say goodbye to Barry Cowsill?  It seems like last week.  It still seems way too surreal that he's not with us anymore....

Is this a layoff?

Remember that really cool work at home job I got and posted about and was really quite excited about?  Well, I think I just got laid off from it...before training even started!  I got this o...

Leave it to me...

Other people are allergic to cats or dogs.  Some are allergic to pollens and molds.  Me?  I'm allergic to my own hormones!  It's true.  Being perimenopausal is not fun when ev...

Gainful Employment

Anyone who reads my blog here knows that my job was rather unceremoniously terminated a few weeks ago.  So, I need to find a new job.  Ideally, I'd like to work from home.  I do not wan...

And right before Christmas

Of course, everyone who is terminated from their jobs feels they were treated unfairly.  Unless one is an absolute idiot and knows it, one believes he/she is doing the job to the best of their ab...
