Welcome to the red crayon club! .. ..

About Me

Hmmmm...about me.I'm a Slovak American who was raised to love Polka Dancing. I'm a mom, a teacher and a wife. Not necessarily always in that order. I consider myself someone who: 1. wants to do it all, but just hasn't gotten started yet. 2. what you see is what you get, and then some. 3. loves incredibly deeply, but can cut you deeper. 4.expects that by now, we could all get along and start focusing on making this world better and not worse.

My Interests

My interests are anything and everything that makes me think, have fun, learn something, or enjoy life. I love music, being outside, reading a book, spending time with friends, going to the beach, any type of art, and eating all types of new foods.

I'd like to meet:

Hmmm...when I answered this the first time, I didn't know the boundries of what I call friends or people I'd like to meet would be tested.I'd like to meet people I can be myself with, people who think I am as important as they are, people who appreciate that we all have A LOT to offer. I wanna meet people who eat carbs, love their friends, call you back, dance in the rain, dress up for Halloween, tolerate my shit but tell me when it's too much, are able to be there even when they don't want to, and are honest (or really good at lying).The kind of people like the ones I call friend. Who will always be there no matter how stupid you get, but have no problem telling you that you're being stupid.

Music:

Like everything else I love all types of music. My family has instilled the knowledge of the world of music in my brain ever since I could remember and I embraced this diversity with complete joy. My favorites though are the ones you can dance to, anything that makes you move.

Movies:

Old movies are the best, anything with Joan Crawford or Audrey Hepburn. But, nothing beats a good horror flick at night with the lights out! The kind that makes you wonder what's under the bed like Halloween or Saw. I like movies that move me to watch them a hundred times and think about them for days afterwards.

Television:

Right now I am a complete Travel Channel junkie. I love to travel and go anywhere, whenever. Watching shows about distant places and yummy food gives me a crazy appetite for life! My newest passion has been The Tudors on Showtime. You know how the story ends up and I still found myself hoping Anne would not lose her head. My gawd her family was screwed up and she just a pawn in their game for fame.

Books:

Harry Potter hands down. That lady sure can write. I have read some of them so many times. Just finished the Deathly Hallows. On the egde of my seat the whole time. TOLD YOU SNAPE WAS GOOD!!! I also love junior novel series like Spiderwyck and Lemony Snickett books. I'm a teacher what can I say!

Heroes:

Heroes...those people who go out there everyday with a smile even though they are dying inside. My husband Lucas, who has seen his daughter only once in her 11 nine years, but he still keeps going. He took on my children, no questions asked and he keeps us all on the straight and narrow. Thank you babes!

An Open Window

In my room there is an open window. I don't know how long it's been there, but there it is. Often I sit staring out the open window and see things I do not recognize. Strange things I do not understan...
