I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Rebecca and I am the mom of a very smart 11 year old son and a fiesty 4 year old golden retriever. I have been to college (SFCC & WSU), been married (1997), divorced (2001), moved away for a little while (2002)and then moved back home (2004). I am disabled and in a wheelchair (1999). I have a neuromuscular disease called Friedreich's Ataxia. Life is way too short. My life isn't what I thought it would be, not now, or for a long time. But who's is? I love to cuddle up in sweats and blankets when it is cold out. I stay home and hibernate from October to March.

My Interests

I love to read. I wasn't a big reader as a kid, but now I can't get enough. Crosswords and brain teaser puzzles keep my mind sharp and occupied. I also watch way too much t.v. and movies. I am not a big sports girl, but I root for the Zags & WSU always. I am also a fan of the Cowboys, Braves, Yankees, & the NCAA, and have been for years. While my son is in school or camp, my puppy shows his loyalty by keeping me company, loving my attention, & making me laugh. I love going to the ocean, watching the water, and breathing in the fresh air. It has a strong appeal for me. I like planting flower gardens in the spring.

You Belong in Paris
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris.
You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe. What European City Do You Belong In?

Music:

I like a little bit of everything, from Air Supply to Elton John and Beethoven to Pachibel, Reba and Alabama, and all 80's; Andrew Lloyd Webber, Phil Collins, Dishwalla, SheDaisy, Liz Phair, The Cranberries, Fergie and Hinder. I love Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, and Daughtry. Josh Groban has a wonderful voice that makes me melt. I have listened to The Eagles, Chicago and The Beach Boys my whole life. Music is a part of my everyday.

Television:

I am addicted to ER, and of course I love Friends, Charmed, and Sex and The City. I watch the old classics and 80's re-runs. I also have gotten hooked on House, Grey's Anatomy, The Girls Next Door, Law & Order: SVU, and CSI: NY. Medical and forensics based shows fascinate me. I also like American Justice, Cold Case, and THS on E!. I have several of my favorite TV series on DVD that I watch too.

Books:

I love J.K. Rowling (I read the Harry Potter series atleast once a year), and anything by Jane Austen or Charlotte and Emily Bronte. I loved Eragon & Eldest and I can't wait for the third book of the series Brisingr (Sept. 2008). L.M. Montgomery (I love Anne, she is my kindred spirit), Louisa May Alcott, and Shakespeare are authors I read all the time. I also enjoy all the stories of greek and roman mythology, especially ones about Zeus (he was such a creep and a womanizer), the nymphs, and the Underworld (the way they saw death is so interesting). I like to read bios and auto-bios. I still read Christopher Pike books occasionally. I like some poetry especially Edgar A. Guest.

Heroes:

Anne Shirley, Harry Potter, Jerry Lewis, Christopher Reeve, Audrey Hepburn, Faith Hill, Angelina Jolie, Caleb, Matty Stepanek, my mom and my grandmothers Virginia F. and Ruth N.
