About Me

Not really a Midwestern Girl . . . started in Cicero, lived in Iowa, Colorado, California (San Francisco and Orange County), and Alaska (Anchorage and Kodiak) . . . and now i'm trying really hard to settle down here in Chicago, where my family is. I have to say that I never felt freer than Cali and Alaska (they really rock-rock), but life is good here in my city.Have a 24 year old son, harley mechanic by education, who lives in Des Moines, and I raised his two cousins as my foster kids while we were all in California...that was the best part of my life so far, being mom to that crew.My best friend is my pitbull, Sid Vicious, and we go driving around in my new H3 . . . where do you wanna go?!?!?

My Interests

Traveling to see all the friends i've made in the places I've called home . . . so far this year I've been to Colorado, Houston, and Waterloo, Iowa! Driving a friend to Alaska in August, and i can't wait . . . that drive is so beautiful.Also love spending time outdoors with Sid Vicious, we love the lake and parks at night.

I'd like to meet:

Somebody with integrity. Hot and sweet and intelligent would be good too . . .

Music:

Most of my friends and several in the family are in the music industry, so i have had way too much fun free or cheap, thanks to them! i like everything except country. Just saw the Police at Wrigley Field . . .

Movies:

Quentin and David Lynch. If they annoy you, go away.

Television:

My Name Is Earl, Southpark, CNN, Forensics Files, etc.

Books:

I try to read a couple of classics every year, along with the forensic serial killer crap i read all the time.

Heroes:

George Bush Jr. (if you don't like that, BITE ME) Why do YOU think we aren't being attacked on our own soil?!?!?
