About Me

So May has brought about a lot of changes into June! I am excited about the summer and looking forward to the adventure! I love music, theater, the arts, dancing and traveling around the world. I am heading to London and Paris in a few weeks and am also planning a trip to Africa as well. I have been quite busy over the past few weeks, and am generally quite happy. Stella got her groove back and I guess I did too...but with a little less drama!!! :-) I love God, and developing spiritually is a priority for me. I attend church at GT, so if you find yourself in the city, come visit! Over this last year, many things have changed in my life and I am very grateful for the journey. I am truly blessed with amazing friends and family and am so grateful for all of the unique and wonderful people I have in my life!-----And continuing with my promise to be more "open" with my friends and family in 2008 about myself based on their challenge---here is my next confession!!! Enjoy! ------------JUNE CONFESSION: OK. So have you ever wondered.."If my house caught on fire and I only had a few seconds, what would I take with me?" Jewelry? Cash? A bible? Well, a while back my apartment actually did catch on fire and so I can actually answer that question! The first thing I did was grab a backpack. I shoved a dried rosebud from a very special time in my life, a bullet (from a 22) that I have saved for years, an unopened letter that I promised someone I would hold on to and then I went to fetch my cat (who has recently gone on recently to kitty heaven). She did not take kindly to the notion of being shoved head first into a backpack and so I was clawed pretty bad. The firemen with gloves eventually got her. The thing was--I would not leave without the cat. Stupid yes--but I loved that little furball, and although the fire was by the door, there was another means of egress if it came to that! So who was the rosebud from? (yes, I am pretty sentimental and I save dried rosebuds..but I only have 3 from my entire life) Why a bullet? And what exactly was in the letter? Now this was June's confession---and I confessed to what I took out during the fire--the rest will forever remain a secret. :-)

My Interests

Travel, Dance, Reading, Singing, Theater, Worship...worship...and then some more worship...and pretty much everything and anything adventurous. Skydiving? I'm in for this August-THANK YOU DANNY....Repelling...lets go!

I'd like to meet:

WHO I WOULD LIKE TO MEET IN JUNE? I would really like to meet the owner of Dallas BBQ. Recently some new location suggestions came to my attention from a real estate mogul in the making. Trust me...Trump will have nothing on this guy eventually. However, the main reason I want to meet the owner is to not just discuss new locations---it's to ask why they don't serve desert???!!? This needs changed. Maybe we should start a petition? Campaign? Protest?---something needs done about this. My suggestions include apple pie with Ice cream, banana splits, chocolate shakes and perhaps a nice cherry cobbler. Hmmm.....now I am hungry! I would also like to meet the person who created my perfume. They need thanked. I love the stuff. I guess I would also like to meet the designer of a good beach tent. Needs to be able to keep you cool and in the shade if it's hot, but also have flaps that would insulate it if it gets chilly---or down right freezing. :-) It would also be nice if it collapsed into a backpack--that way if my house ever were to catch on fire again, I could shove the tent in with the rosebuds and bullet. I would have somewhere to live in the interim--and some good memories as well.

Music:

This month, I'm listening to a lot of worship, salsa and R&B. I recently also got turned on to Hebrew Rap---hey.......Don't knock it until you've tried it!!!

Movies:

This month, I really need to see the Adam Sandler new flick...but the other favs are The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and I think "Once" is a gorgeous film that made me cry..over and over again....when he gives her the piano...I loose it!

Television:

VIVA HOLLYWOOD ROCKS! PLEASE SAY THERE WILL BE A SEASON 2! Lost, Ugly Betty...and then the standard favorites of all time...West Wing, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Pretender...

Books:

Lately, I have been writing more than reading--however what is going on in my bookshelf besides the bible??? Travel Books for Paris, London, Great Britain, and a lot online about web development, economics, water source mechanics, and basically everything I can read about Burundi--if I am not writing it. UGH!!!! Psalms and am still reading the California Not for Profit book.

Heroes:

Corky. Elle. Sonia.
