About Me

I am completely obsessed with music and can usually identify a song and artist within seconds. My kids (Jullian, 5 and Gavin, 3) are also learning to love music. Jullian's favorite songs are "Human Fly" by the Cramps, "Coconut" by Harry Nilssen, and "Boss of Me" by They Might Be Giants. Gavin loves "Spitfire" by prodigy. I'm seriously sick of listening to it! I do feel compelled to add that Gavin's favorite vitamin is echinacea. and yes, he can actually pronounce it correctly...I have always made decisions based on my personal beliefs, and not what other people think. We don't have cable or a fancy car, but my children are in community activities every week, I own my own very simple townhome, we eat healthy organic food (fruit snacks are junk food, and I have been known to tell my kids they have had too many carbs for the day). I try to be a conscientious consumer, live green, conserve, and only take what I need.I think body language is fascinating. It is hard to mask, because so much is involuntary. You can have entire conversations without saying anything. Some of my favorite moments in life have been just sitting quietly with a friend and saying absolutely nothing.Getting to Know Me.........What time did you get up this morning?

My Interests

MUSIC, being a good friend and mother, insanely strong coffee, snuggling with my kids, thrift stores, farmers' markets, shopping, sitting outside on a sunny day, closing my eyes when I listen to a sad or beautiful song, good smells like fresh air, curry, cut grass, lavender, and that earthy, mossy smell when you're surrounded by tons of trees, dancing with my kids, how cute they sound when they laugh in their sleep, driving with my shoes off, squishing mud between my toes or cookie dough between my fingers, ice cream, natual remedies, pecan pie, i used to read a lot, i'm making time to read again, any book suggestions would be appreciated
