About Me

I'm the mother of a great 11 y.o. boy and married to an airline pilot. I'm basically a soccer mom, but used to have a career as an operating room nurse... oh, the gory tales I used to tell during dinner...I'm also an experienced natural disaster survivalist. I've survived the biggest volcanic eruption of the 20th century - Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines. I've endured many hurricanes in Florida and typhoons in Asia, and I experienced an 8.2 earthquake in Guam. I've learned how to live without electricity or running water in my home for weeks. Electricity was no big deal, the lack of running water was frustrating.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jason and Grant and the Ghost Hunters crew. I LOVE that show! My neighbors across the street swear that their house is haunted. I might do a little investigating myself.Sean Connery - the sexiest old man alive and the BEST 007 in my opinion. I tried to stalk him when I was in England, but he would never leave his home. I have a confession to make: I named my son after him.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? I do, based on my own experiences and hearing firsthand about my husband's and friends' experiences. When I was a military brat, we lived in a 3 bedroom duplex on an Air For...

Just say NO! Yes, its a clichéd title, but I'm not feeling creative.

Our neighbors, "Nan" and "Sam" were a typical middle class, middle aged married couple with a pretty 14 y.o. daughter. When we first moved into our home, they were doing well with their electrical co...

Assumptions about my ethnicity

A memory came to me as I was uploading the pic of all of us sitting on Santa's lap. It was about the last time I took my son to see Santa. The mall Santa looked just like the typical Santas you see i...

Ellen loves Steve

My dear friend Ellen said something amusing as she was ending a phone conversation w/ me: I love you, Violet. But don't take this wrong... Ellen loves STEVE, not Ellen loves EVE!

HI!

I started this thing, b/c I wanted to post a comment on my cousin Rusty's page, myspace.com/TheBluesMann. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the impression that in order to comment, I had to be "...
