About Me


.

Married for 19 years. A mom of Five. Four boys and One girl. I love music, camp fires, most any outdoor activity, drawing or painting now and then, golfing, bowling, roller coasters, pogo games, traveling (mostly to see my fav bands), getting up early on spring or summer days with my coffee or tea and watching the sunrise along with the total enjoyment of the quiet sounds in the early morning, or staying up late at night to get in a bit of me time. I try my best to enjoy life, to just go for it (within reason) and to make most every moment count!

There is a new CD out by my friend John Harley Weston. It's called "Welcome Back To Reality" Click this pic to visit John's page and listen to clips. Also check out his first CD "Hope Harbour" it is also a very good CD!

You Are a Prophet Soul
You are a gentle soul, with good intentions toward everyone.
Selfless and kind, you have great faith in people.
Sometimes this faith can lead to disappoinment in the long run.
No matter what, you deal with everything in a calm and balanced way.
You are a good interpreter, very sensitive, intuitive, caring, and gentle.
Concerned about the world, you are good at predicting people's feelings.
A seeker of wisdom, you are a life long learner looking for purpose and meaning.
You are a great thinker and communicator, but not necessarily a doer.
Souls you are most compatible with:
Bright Star Soul and Dreaming Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Pete Stewart is one of my favorites too.. Lots of talent in his written material. He has fantastic vocals and the music is just put together well. Pete can also be heard on a few Accident Experiment Albums too. I listen to his music often.

Here are a few awesome bands you can find at Nightmare

POWND "SLOWLY DROWNING"
..

























I'd like to meet:

Friends that I like to meet... are those who say it and mean it without being overly nasty to people!! Don't like, meeting people who say stuff that is all covered in bullshit... it's why I have an ex husband. I like people who are easy going like to have fun, they know how to laugh or make others laugh. Those that know how to enjoy life as much as they can! (within reason) Life is just to damn short to worry about the 'little stuff' life always tends to throw us. As for the 'bigger stuff' life hands out... I will always lend an ear to a friend, even when I might not know what to say, I'll do what I can to help.

I have absolutely admired Lance King's voice since his day's with Gemini.
Very talented vocals on that guy!! He has put his vocal touch on some very awesome CD's!
There's plenty to choose from... Shining Star, Defyance, Avian, Lars Eric Mattsson, Balance of Power, Pyramaze to name just a few.
Lucky us here in Minnesota and Wisconsin where Lance sings for Decibel, a band who plays cover tunage and is a fun time out.

Ricky Warwick (From The Almighty) has been one of my favorite artist's since I saw him open for the Leps in 2002. Since then, through a friend and Ricky have found some very cool music from his past. Not to forget his current project Circus Diablo as well.
