About Me

I am a Wife, Mommy, Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Friend. I couldn't think of 6 better things to be, could you? I am absolutely in love with all those aspects of my life. I have been a wife for 7 years to the love of my life, Tom. A Mommy for 13 Years to Eddie the Cat, for 3 Years to Mosie the Dog, and 3 Years to Ty, my sweet Boy. Also, most recently, to our newest addition, Waylon, our new Kitty. I've been a lifelong Daughter and Sister. An aunt for 8 Years, and a Friend to countless others. Some appreciated, some not so... All part of the Camping Trip we are having here on Planet Earth called This Life..... ..

I'd like to meet:

Chris Isaak, to see if that beautiful voice, words and face are for real. (THEY ARE, I MET HIM !!! If only for a moment.) God, for sure. I mean, he has all of the answers, right. Jerry Garcia, just to hang out. Jimmy Buffett, too. Sylvia Browne. Again, I just need to know some things...Don't you?? Ghandi, who doesn't need some of that peaceful mojo to rub off on them nowadays. Also, my friends and family from past lives, just to see if they remember me, and so they can tell me about myself...

Music:

,
Oh, geez, it runs the gamit...Chris Isaak, Jimmy Buffett, John Mayer, Lenny Kravitz, Barenaked Ladies, Bruce Springsteen, The Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, Bob Marley, The Tragically Hip. I've seen U2 in concert 3 times!!! And there a a few guilty pleasures I choose not to mention for fear of embarrassment...Oh, come on, we all have them !!

Movies:

Funny, Funny and independent. Also, anything with Nicolas Cage !! I do enjoy movies by John Waters, he's not afraid to let his Freak Flag fly, and I dig that !!! I also have something for Mob Movies. I love Sophia Coppolas movies and Quentin Tarantinos. I love David Lynch movies and also Steven Soderbergh. There is a place in my heart for old Neil Simon comedies also.
