Quotes to live by... (yeah, there are a lot of them)

My Interests

Well let's see, what do I like? Food, music, art, books, music, writing, people, music, food. Did I mention music?

Movies:

One word: "Newsies." Okay, maybe four: "The Princess Bride." Dang it, six: "Moulin Rouge."

Television:

Food Network, "The West Wing," "Smallville." That's really about it, not much of a TV watcher.

Books:

Blue Like Jazz (if you haven't, you should), Searching for God Knows What, Reaching Out Without Dumbing Down, Richest Man in Babylon, Ecclesiastes, Anything Tom Clancy, The Jesus I Never Knew, An Enemy Called Average, 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, The Father of Spin, Any "Thursday Next" novel, and the list goes on but I am tired of typing...

Heroes:

My father, my mother, my baby sister
