karen - In Loving Memory

Fun, Passionate, Exciting~that is me

About Me

.. Well, about me huh? I am Karen, I just turned 44 in January, I have 3 children and one grandson, I love life in general, i am a very positive person and can find the good in anyone. It is much easier to love everyone unconditional than to worry about all the small stuff in life. I am the oldest of 10 kids...I am an open book, feel free to ask me anything.. but..........be prepared for the answer!

My Interests

My interests really are, just having new experiences, and trying to learn what life really is about. I enjoy photography, I like traveling anywhere.. I love to fly, If I were rich, I'd fly across the street! Life is too short, I want to experience everything I can before i die.. I want to leave great memories for the one's I'll leave behind!

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet a nice guy, have a fun relationship, and just do things, anything, I can not stand to be bored! I enjoy road trips, the ocean, the mountains, anything other than sitting in the house... Don't get me wrong, the house is nice on a cold rainy day with a good movie, nice company and a nice dinner... but until then...........lets go do something!

Music:

I love music, and I can listen to almost everything! I went to several concerts last year! Ozzfest, Aerosmith/Kiss, Carlos Santana, Nancy Wilson, and The Trans Siberian Orchestra!... On my radio settings in my car, I listen to classic rock, heavy metal, and soft rock stations... I used to be into country a lot more, i don't like too much Rap anymore, I used to like the older Beastie Boys, Run DMC... but have faded away from them and new country...I appreciate anyone's talents!

Movies:

.. i am not a real big movie person. Don't get me wrong! I love watching movies, but I don't get out and see all the new ones that come up... I think the last one I saw was The Passion of The Christ, before that it was The Last Samuari........if we rent movies... I always fall asleep!.........and be aware! I snore loud!.. I've been told that I sound like a freight train in a hurricaine!.. go figure, I wake up to the sound of a fart, but, not my own snoring? hmmm?..anyone who can deal with my snoring is a keeper!

Television:

I hardly watch the television. but I must admit i have been keeping an eye on the War... don't get me started!...If i do watch TV, i like That 70's Show, Drew Carey and comedies, I do like stuff like 60minutes and documentaries..

Books:

lets see......books, the last book I read was "Tuesday's with Morrie"... talk about a tear jerker, what a wonderful book! and I heard there was a movie out with the same title.... and I also am reading one "Even Eagles need a Push"...

Heroes:

anyone who is in the service... all our firefighters, all of our men in Uniform that try and make this world a better, safer place to live..anyone who is honest!
