I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a mom to an amazing daughter who teaches me things about life everyday. I have a wonderful husband I can't imagine living without. I have two cats...one needs prozac and the other needs caffine. We have a fish tank in our fireplace and no matter which way you look you will find Buddha or Kokopelli in out home. I couldn't live without my Callahan's books by Spider Robinson. I believe in Harry Potter's world and am awaiting my letter from Hogwarts (Better late than never). I also believe that life is too short (no matter how many times you get to go around) to worry about anything except enjoying it. Yes, the dishes are in the sink, but the kid is in the tub with a shampoo mohawk...which will win? I should set aside some cash "just in case" or "I should go spend the weekend with a bunch of SciFi freaks in a hotel partying and talking books and movies"...which will win? Even better question: Which will make you smile and happy to be alive?

My Interests

I went to cosmotology school and decided it wasn't for me, so I finished but never bothered with the test. I still love to do make-up and hair for friends, though. I went to Culinary school and loved it, but my back problems didn't. So now I cook for friends and family. I recently finished a year's study at SCSU for costume design and I think I've finally found my home. I love it, live for it, dream patterns in my sleep and am currently looking to make what career I can out of it in the small area I live in. As long as I've got something to do, I'll be happy.

I'd like to meet:

Friends from my past I've lost track of over the years, you know who you are. I've found some of you back...(Tracey and Marie, my cross the state to see who's playin' where grrls). Now I just need to round up the rest of you...

Music:

I love all kinds, especially weird kinds. I take that back, I don't like country,most of it is whiney, it's annoying and after listen to it I can tell why everyone in the songs are either dead, leaving, drunk or their car won't start because it's scared of what's gonna be on the radio in it when it does. LOVE these guys on first listen:

Movies:

Cheesey movies, MST3K, Godzilla, classic horror and thrillers. I don't do "chick flicks". ANYTHING WITH VINCENT PRICE!!!!! I LOVE the scifi channel on weekends, nothing but non-stop cheese. Did I mention I love Vincent Price?

Television:

I am a LOST addict, I admit it. I also like TAPS, Hell's Kitchen and I'm chewing on my last peice of chiffon waiting for season 4 of Project Runaway (Santino was ROBBED!)

Books:

SciFi Geek all the way, books about the paranormal, Steve Alten's MEG series and The Loch, vintage sewing and fashion books, books about costumes and design. And my all time fav, Shakespeare.

Heroes:

My daughter, my TangeeLaLa, Edith Head, Vivian Leigh

Stress is strange...

It's very weird to me how stress affects some people. I should rephrase that, I find it very weird how stress affects me. Lately things have been very stressful. It's the holidays. They've never b...

Raised by Queens

Not the "we are not amused" kind, the other kind, the funner kind, the much better dressed kind...unless you're picturing Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall dressed at the Queen, then you're on the ...

Getting my foot in the proverbial theater door

Well, my job doing the costuming for the Haunted House is pretty much over until next year. We'll be having planning meetings and things like that, but otherwise it's done. So, I sent out emails to th...

here we go again...

And off go the emails and updated resumes to the local theaters...again. The only one doing anything right now is the GREAT (the children's theater), I don't think Troupe theater even exists anymore....

Is this week over yet?

So the week began with the news of my dear "Keif" (Keith) passing unexpectedly from a rare form on pneumonia at home in SC. He left behind a lot of shocked friends and the love of his life, who will ...
