Making beaded jewelry, going to movies, cooking and hanging at home with my pooch. Reconnecting with people that I used to know when I lived here (Massachusetts) as a teen. Hanging out and getting to know my family that I didn't get to know for the past 30 years. Trying to make new friends here, however, Massachusetts is NOT like Chicago where everyone's friendly. Here, they think you have an agenda and are all pretty clicky. I"M TRYING THOUGH. Never had a tough time meeting new people as I do here. It sucks. I know, wah-wah, poor me..........................................................
..My favorite band: U2. In July,1985, they played a concert called Live Aid for famine relief in Africa. When I heard this song, it truly changed my life.The recording has a little glitch in it about 10 minutes into it, but it's the best recording of the whole 12 minutes of the song BAD with video that I could find. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It still gives me goose bumps.
Music:
All different kinds. I'm kind of a hippie when it comes to music. I love the 60's 70's, love the 80's, like the 90's and so far the 21st century isn't too bad either.
