About Me


"This is not the face of an ingenue;
this is an old soul in a new body -
wary, wise to her own long past,
on to the wiles of the world,
and having miles to go before she sleeps."
~ Sarah Ban Breathnach ~
"I asked for STRENGTH and God gave me difficulties to make me STRONG. I asked for WISDOM and God gave me problems to SOLVE. I asked for PROSPERITY and God gave me brawn & brain to WORK. I asked for COURAGE and God gave me dangers to OVERCOME. I asked for PATIENCE and God placed me in situations where I am forced to WAIT. I asked for LOVE and God gave me troubled people to HELP. I asked for FAVORS & God gave me OPPORTUNITIES. I asked for EVERYTHING so I could enjoy LIFE, but instead He gave me LIFE so I could enjoy EVERYTHING. I received nothing I WANTED. But I received everything I NEEDED."
"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times a little hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
~ Marilyn Monroe ~
"Imperfection is beauty;
Madness is genius.
And it is better to be absolutely ridiculous,
than absolutely boring.
At the end of the day,
I let them think what they want.
If they bother enough to care with what I do,
Then I'm already better than them anyway."
~ Marilyn Monroe ~
"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into our life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones we love are always in our heart. And if we're very lucky, a plane ride away."
~ Carrie Bradshaw ~
"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
~ Carrie Bradshaw ~

My Interests

Laughing until it hurts. Crying until it feels better. And calling it happiness.

I'd like to meet:

My great Grandma and Grandpa Carner.

Music:

It will always be Gavin Rossdale.

Movies:

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Tombstone, Crash, Legally Blonde, Top Gun, Primal Fear...to name a few.

Television:

Friends, Roseanne, King of Queens, Seinfeld, Fraiser, Will and Grace, Scrubs, Everybody Loves Raymond, Law and Order: SVU/CI, Missing, Forensic Files, Medium, Monk, House, Sex and the City...I'm a repeat junkie because I have no time to watch anything that requires me to follow a storyline.

The Marvelous Monster, No Flying in the House, and Where the Red Fern Grows are my all time childhood-favorites, followed by a number of intelligently written crime/murder mysteries/suspense novels. Notable authors to-date: Dan Brown, Perri O'Shaugnessey, Tess Geritsen, Karen Robards, Nora Roberts, Ken Follet... Currently trying to tackle The Bible, one passage at a time.

"A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man must seek Him, in order to find her."

Heroes:

My Mother. My Grandmother. And my Daughter, who is destined to singlehandedly change the world...
