Heather, just Heather

I am here for Friends

About Me

*I enjoy discussions (even inane ones are OK as long as they're funny).*Have been accused of having a twisted sense of humor (moi?).*Don't drink, don't smoke, can't dance (hey, anyone hear the song "Goody Two Shoes" cuing up?). No piercings or tattoos, but I can admire the artistic on others'.*Lord I love to drive fast.... And I love to look at Classic cars with big grinnin' grills: Studebaker!* 2 GREAT kids (1 teen, 1 toddler). My intelligence is slowly being replaced by Sesame Street songs! A la William Shatner "Mind. Being. Taken Over. By Baby. Einstein Games. Must. Fight! Need conversation. With adults." haha*CURRENTLY getting divorced after 12 years of marriage (7 wonderful years that I thank God for, followed by those 5 not-so-wonderful that hopefully I can blame on something like Red Food Dye #14 in the future)*FAVORITE PHILOSOPHIES: "Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home" -Phyllis Diller "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers" -Socrates "Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity." -Socrates (469 BC - 399 BC)HOME COOKING: Where many a husband thinks his wife is. GIRLS BEWARE: There are 3 rings to marriage - the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering. WHY DO MARRIED MEN gain weight while bachelors don't? Bachelors go to the refrigerator, see nothing they want, then go to bed. Married guys go to the bed, see nothing they want, then go to the refrigerator. "WHEN A MAN OPENS A CAR DOOR for his wife, its either a new car or a new wife" - Prince Philip "I LOVE BEING MARRIED. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life" -Rita Rudner This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

LOW MAINTENANCE friends. DON'T need to hear absolutely everything about you, your sex life, your Uncle Fester, your favorite toilet paper, etc. (hey unless its funny, then I'm all ears!) SOMEONE TO just hang out with would be nice. ITS TAME around here and I'd like to keep it that way. DIVERSITY is a wonderful thing. IF YOU are fixing up an OLD CAR or TRUCK, I'd love to see how its done, ask you a million questions, and be your go-fetch girl! SELF-PROCLAIMED ODD people are fine by me. AS LONG as you're not a threat to my family (or small farm animals), we're cool.
