Well lets see, I am happily married to a really great guy and my best friend...Craig. We have a beautiful, super-smart daughter named Kayla, and an adorable dog named Charlie. We live in the middle of the woods, up north of Forest Lake. We love it here and dont ever want to move! Both Craig and I are are originally from the Twin Cities, I grew up in Mahtomedi/White Bear Lake and Craig in Blaine. Just went back to work after being a stay at home mom for almost 4yrs...I love it! Very happy with my life, content with how things are and love my friends and family. Hoping to meet some cool people and make some new friends :) ..

VIEW ALL OF MY PICS AT: http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e168/jendietsch/**WHAT I'M INTO**Being with friends/family, my husband Craig and daughter Kayla - they mean the world to me....and I love being a wife and mom. I like movies, music, spending hours out on our boat, coffee, our dog Charlie, my IPod, scented lotions, "fancy" socks, Miller Lite, thunderstorms, all the great times at the Parnell cabin, going out - either just somewhere to play some pool, dance a little, listen to music and have some beers or else there are always those nights that I want to go out and dance til closing time....ANYWAYS I really LOVE dates with my honey, shooting hoops, sitting as a family for dinner and our traditional Sunday morning breakfasts made by Craig, (especially his banana pancakes) bonfires, going for walks, cooking, (getting better all the time!!) comedy clubs, my job, playing cards/games, Pilates when I actually do it, "driveway ball" with Kayla, the lake, Chapstick, Valleyfair/rollercoasters, shopping, people watching, being on the computer, taking lots and lots of pictures,(AS YOU CAN SEE) bike rides, boating, anything outdoors as long as the bugs arent bad, tanning, clean sheets, talking alot (but not on the phone - hate the phone), waking up & going on our screen porch overlooking the lake with a cup of coffee, camping, Days of Our Lives which is a guilty pleasure of mine. I have been watching it since the 7th grade....good wine, shooting darts, playing pool, grape Propel, dancing, tv, reading, scented candles, ice skating, fires in the fireplace on cold winter nights, gin & tonics, being crafty/flower arranging/wedding planning, doing things to my house, and sleeping.

I'd like to meet:

New people with the same sorts of interests that I have. Fun people that dont take themselves too seriously. :) DONT WANT TO MEET...people just trying to add to their friends list, and rude or fake people. I can be a very good friend, so be a good friend to me! :) *** ***

Movies:

We watch a lot of movies in our house. I like a bit of everything, not too picky, love watching new movies, sometimes Craig and I pick some real duds, but we get lucky too. I feel some people get too critical about movies. I'm more in the thinking that if it entertains me, whether thats make me laugh, cry, be scared to death, or whatever, I'm a happy girl. I like....

Books:

Love to read but dont give myself enough time to do it. You may look at this list and think this is all a bunch of FLUFF, but to be honest, I am busy and dont have the attention span that I used to so I like a little bit of a escape when I read. I like: Gone With the Wind, Little Women, Nancy Drew :), Of Mice and Men, Scarlett by Alexandria Ripley, In Her Shoes and Good in Bed by Jennifer Weiner, Anything by Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Mary Higgins Clark or V.C. Andrews, A Death in White Bear Lake - Chronicle of an All American Town by Barry Siegel, Shel Silverstein, Lemony Snicket, Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, 24/7 by Jim Brown, The Bridget Jones series by Helen Fielding, also looking forward to read The Da Vinci Code (Just got it for Christmas) and just bought Wicked - The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. Now have two really long books to read, I'm sure next year at this time I wont have finished them either. UPDATE: Its now almost May and I gave up on the other two books I was reading. I needed something different and found it. My friend Pam at work suggested the Janet Evanovich series. They are GREAT! I'm starting #6 of 13 today. (4/29/07)
