My Interests

Now that my daughters are both in college I have gone back to school part-time. I'm working toward completing my Bachelor's Degree and then work towards my Masters Degree in Nursing, I have my Associates Degree in Nursing and always said I would go back to school once the girls were in college and so I am. I've completed 3 classes and so far have a 4.0 GPA. I'm really enjoying learning new things. It's really different being an adult learner, I'm enjoying this much more this time around. I'm taking the classes through a collaboration between CMMC School of Nursing and Saint Joseph's College of Maine. Some of the classes are online and some are held at CMMC. I have decided to take this summer off but plan on taking a class in the fall. It's a slow process but the only way I can do it while working full time. I have also started playing golf and got new clubs for Christmas and plan on going out golfing quite a bit this summer. Looking forward to going to New York City on my birthday and taking the girls to a backstage tour of the Wicked set and going to Madame Tusseaud's Wax Museum. Also going to try to win tickets to the Wicked matinee show. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Music:

This is their GREAT DRUMMER!! Go Jayme!!I've become a BIG Idina Menzel fan. Here she is singing a song I LOVE and follows singing The Prayer with Josh Groban. Enjoy...

Idina performed at the National Memorial Day Concert and sang 2 WWII era song and then dedicated my favorite song "Where Do I Begin" to our current troops and their loved ones.Here is Idina and Kristen in Wicked... ....Went to Kelly's concert in Boston on 10-23-07. She was amazing but the thing that really touched me was that she dedicated a song to a close friend of mine that passed away this spring. "Shully" was one of the founders of Kelly's biggest message board, she was a Boston gal and a great friend that I miss. THANKS KELLY FOR DOING THIS!!

Movies:

I like the older classic movies, especially the musicals. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Chronicles Of Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. Should be great. Wish they would make the Broadway hit Wicked into a movie soon!!

Television:

I don't really watch much television. I watch sports like football and hockey and sometimes golf and baseball. I do follow LOST and sometimes Ugly Betty. I also enjoy historical shows. Just watched the John Adams series on HBO and that was fantastic!!

Books:

I'm actually excited that I will be able to read something for fun and not for some class. I plan ..ing 7 Moons and starting the book on John Adams and the Women of Liberty.

Heroes:

My heroes include my husband Dennis, who shows me everyday what the meaning of soul mate is. My daughters, Meg and Jess, who inspire me to try new things and who keep me young. My parents, who have shown me what it means to follow God's will. My sister Donna, who has shown me what it means to be strong. My mother and father-in-law for showing me that in your 80's you can be active. My brothers, Bob, Pat, Dan and Dave and my brothers-in-law John and Donald for being great examples of husbands and fathers and my sisters-in-law, Kelli,Debbie, Lynn, Lisa and Coutney for being great examples of wives and mothers. I am truly blessed with a wonderful family!

Mortality & Taking Life & Those You Love Forgranted

At 1am last Wednesday morning I came face to face with a fact that I've never spent too much time thinking about, and that was my own mortality. I turned 45 this year and have been very busy with my l...
