Spending as much quality time as possible with James, my family and my friends... I'd be nothing without them.
I'm very passionate about human rights and would love to do more to open people's minds.
Celebrity gossip... I want to be like Perez... ;)
Cooking... I love to cook and bake... I'm pretty good when I follow instructions... hehe!
Coffee... I love drinking it, making it and meeting people who are as addicted as I am! It's one of the few vices I have at this point in my life...
Girly stuff... that goes for cosmetics, clothing, shoes, bags, skincare, haircare... whatever! I'm definitely a girly girl!
I've got a tomboy side to me, too... I get really interested in mechanics, and if I wasn't so picky about my nails, I might consider going to school to be an automotive technician... I'm the girl who will climb under the car with James and watch what he's doing... I don't always mind getting dirty!
Music... concerts, performing, just listening or dancing to it. I've always been very musical. I tend to lean towards listening more contemporary stuff, kinda mellow, classic rock, but for some reason I prefer rock concerts to all others!
Animals... we have two dogs and a cat. If James wouldn't get mad at me, I'd bring home all the strays... baby animals are the worst for me... doesn't matter what it is... I'm sure I'd think a baby skunk was cute.
History. I don't know why, but I love thinking and wondering about what it was like when... I especially love older homes and thinking about what the families were like that lived in them.
And that brings us to, old homes/structures. I love architecture and the idea of purchasing an old home with lots of history and restoring it.
I love being able to keep in touch with all my old friends here... that's pretty much what it's used for. I don't add people that I don't know, so don't ask. If I want to meet you, I'll come find you! But, don't hold your breath...
Lately, I've really been into the British artist scene... I love all the music coming from across the pond these days... Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Scissor Sisters... but my iPod is an eclectic mix of anything and everything... Jeff Buckley, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, BEP, The Chemical Brothers, Color Me Badd (oh yeah...), DMB, Gorillaz, Depeche Mode, Eminem, Fleetwood Mac, Gretchen Wilson, Gwen and No Doubt, Janet and Michael Jackson (the old school jams), Johnny Cash, Journey, JT, Keane, Kanye, Keith Urban, J Lo, Madonna, Lynard Skynard, Maroon 5, Marvin Gaye, Missy, Neil Diamond, Norah Jones, Outkast, Paul McCartney and Wings, Porno for Pyros, Queen, REM, Radiohead, Rihanna, Shakira, Shania, Styx, Sublime, Timmy!, Vanilla Ice, The Verve, Will Smith... it goes on and on...
Just don't scream in my ear.
The Notebook, Dazed and Confused, Anything Disney (especially when there are princesses involved!), Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley (RIP dude), John Cusack or vampire related... Dirty Dancing, Forrest Gump, CKY or Jackass, Grosse Point Blank, American History X, Thirteen, Requiem for a Dream, Rockstar, Napoleon Dynamite, Crash, The Lake House, Running With Scissors... just some of my favs....
I'm a reality t.v. junkie... I love it all! My favs are Project Runway, Top Chef, Iron Chef America, Flavor of Love, American Idol, The Soup, Rock of Love, Ice Road Truckers. But my all time must sees are Nip/Tuck, House and The Office. If I don't catch the new episode every week, I'm bummed out!
Smashed by Koren Zalckis, anything by Augusten Bourroghs is amazing (I've got all his books!), The Wedding (the follow up to The Notebook), Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner, Bergdorf Blondes, The Four Agreements, Choke and anything by Nicholas Sparks... thanks for the collection, honey! :)
James... he's worked so hard lately to make our life better. I love him more than anything and admire all his hard work.
My mom. She's the rock of our family. The glue that holds everyone together. I can only hope that someday I'll be as wonderful a mother as she. My dad. He's always been the quintessential father figure. Always doing everything he could to make sure we had everything we needed... and a few things we wanted!
Our grandparents. Always there for us whenever we need them. They all are so giving and understanding. I thank God every day that I have them in my life.
