Things I enjoy...
I'm a mom to 2 young adults
I'm a grandma to the cutest baby on earth!
I love my job, I'm a senior system administrator and take care of around 3,000 UNIX servers(big computers) with a group of 30 other geeks/geekettes
I love to hangout with my girlfriends
Love going out dancing
Feel I should do more volunteering
Mostly I just enjoy Living life!
I am interested in meeting people who know how to live life, and work on NOT letting it live them!
Words to live by.....
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
Music is one of my BEST escapes!

Sex in the City is my favorite HBO series, watch alot of Court TV, discovery channel, A&E, Biography channel and History channel. This season I'm hooked on Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, and Men in Trees ~ it's written by the writers of sex and the city
I'm reading 'Better Single Than Sorry' by Jen Schefft ~ (The bachelorette) and LOVE it! If you are a single woman..you really need to check this one out!! Another good one is 'He's just not that into you' by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo; 'A total waste of makeup' by Kim Gruenenfelder is another good one. Lately I've been reading books published by Red Dress Ink.
Who are my heroes? Well anytime I hear of someone who is beating the odds, staying true to them, and making it, I like to think of them as heroes. I admire and respect my Mom and my Bonus Dad. Without them my life wouldn't be as wonderful as it is today. They inspire me to be me, have instilled the value of working hard and playing harder, and always have been there for me. I love you Mom and Merle!*hugs*
