My Interests

When I have time I like to read a good book but that's not always the case! Local artists, food and cooking, cookbooks, locally made purses (a really strong obsession as of late!), people watching (people kind of tend to fascinate me in general, i.e. what makes them tick), autism/aspergers, my own children (fascinating little creature, even though I'm sure they are out to make me crazier than I already am!) scrapbooking/cardmaking (again, when time permits, good local restaurants,

Music:

Whatever suits me at the moment.... Lots of old '80s stuff...Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure, The Smithereens, 80's Hair Bands...Poisen, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Some Current Music...Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jem, Dido, Franz Ferdinand, Green Day Other Stuff such as... old dance tunes...In the Mood, Sing,Sing,Sing, other old big band fav's ... Country...Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, ...Celtic Music, Some New Age Music, Bad Religion, The Valiant Arms (there you go Diane!!) ok the list could go on and on and on....

Better Off Dead, Chicago, Fried Green Tomatos, Pride & Prejudice (the BBC version with Colin Firth..love him!), Woman of the Year (classic Hepburn & Tracy), On The Town, The Sixth Sense, It's a Wonderful Life, (ok...what can I say, I love a happy ending), O brother where art thou (genius...never had thought of clooney as a comic),
