Is it 2007 already? holy shit.

About Me

I love food. I love indie music. So, I am usually engrossed in cooking to my ipod. I also like to garden and work in the yard. I believe your environment is directly correlated to your own attitude.
I work in the music industry. I love my job. I have two fabulous little people... I think that is the politically correct term for kids.
I love my friends dearly and I don't get to spend enough time with them. I believe absence makes the heart grow fonder and that if you marry your best friend you will never lack for conversation.
I wonder why bacon has to be so fattening. If I could have bacon in every recipe, without gaining any weight, I would be a happy woman.
I remember back in the 80's when deep fried pork rinds were advertised as "low fat". Did we really need to learn the truth? I could have been happy in my ignorance.
I love people and I like to talk... a lot. I used to sell cars for a few years a bit ago... before I had our daughter... and I developed a gift of the gab. Chatty Cathy takes on a whole new meaning.

My Interests

Honestly? Right now my entire day is spent figuring out how to get our bands out there. I love putting together the ideas and watching them happen. The ability to affect the world through music is an amazing phenomenon and I believe that positive soul lifting music can change your life.

I recently resigned my position at Yaletown to pursue a artist management company. You can see our Mission Entertainment site:

Keep on the lookout for our artists: Kill Rhythm, The David Anthony Project, Ryan McMahon and On Holiday and please support us when the music hits you!

I'd like to meet:

A lot of people over a long, long lifespan. I want to be the crazy old lady that has all the funny oneliners you just wouldn't expect to come out of a sweet ol' ladies mauth.

I want to spend a lifetime perfecting something to be remembered for... like Dave's grandma's dinner buns and his Mom's teabuiscuits and pies... I'm going for brownies at the moment... anyone know how I'm doin'?

So I guess if I meet you and then we end up having you over for dinner sometime... you'll get to try them. They're gooooood. ;)

Music:

At the moment:

David Anthony is in my top ten... especially "Keeps Me Waiting"... Love it.

Kill Rhythm "Pull Me Under"... gotta love it!

Ryan McMahon "I Tried to Run" and "Falling out of Love"... mmmmmm

I am loving the new music coming out of our band On Holiday, but am anxiously awaiting the recording process.

My other interests from "back in the day"... Erasure, Roxette, Tina Turner, Queen, Buddy Holly, Beach Boys, Alan Parsons Project, Moody Blues, Electric Light Orchestra, Dr. Hook, MEATLOAF!

New interests... well, I am one of those people who likes a bit of everything at the right time.

Chillin' out on the patio... Jeremy Fisher, The David Anthony Project, Ben Harper and nothing relaxes me more than a little calypso or reggae...

Driving on a roadtrip... Primus, Methods of Mayhem, AFI, Eminem

Sing-a-long... Default, Nickelback, Butch Walker, The Little Mermaid Soundtrack.

Movies:

Just saw "Ghostrider" and was truly amazed at the digital effects... loved it! (I didn't watch it for the storyline or the acting) ;)

Television:

Honestly? I haven't watched TV in weeks. If I had the time, I would become a reality TV junkie. I know it. That's why I don't watch it.

Books:

Currently reading... something, but I can't remember the name...

Heroes:

My Dad, my Mom, my sister, my brother, my husband, my children, my friends... Love to you all!

The nature of things...

All things happen for a reason. Marijuana did not just start growing to have someone say you can't have it. Marijuana is a form of plant life that helps take the edge off. It calms the nerves and r...
