I am here for Friends

About Me

I need a vacay

My Interests

My daughter. My husband. My two scooter clubs (Imperial SC and Scarlett Fever SC). My dog and any dog that needs to be rescued. Shoes ! I pick my shoes then plan the rest of my outfit around them. Accesories. Shoes are my favorite accesories but lovely purses, watches, coats, gloves, socks and stockings and some jewelry are all a close second. Travelling. I'm very lucky to work for an airline which allows Zac and I to travel gratis. We have been on some great trips and are planning more. Tattoos. So many I want. I'd have more but I'm a corporate whore and like my 9-5 gig. We'll see.

I'd like to meet:

Myself in 10 years.

Music:

Music that has had the most influence on my life was what I listened to in the 80's - New wave, punk, ska, Oi!, reggae. I love Frank Sinatra, the Man in Black and The Smiths. Too many other bands to name. XM is sooo great. I, actually, look forward to driving because I get to listen to it.

Movies:

I love movies more than I love TV. Movies are probably why I have every cable channel - pay and otherwise. I enjoy the escape factor movies offer. I love epic movies that give a little history lesson. I love mysteries that have you guessing until just the last scene where you say "Wow ! It was him all along !" I'll watch just about anything and rarely walk out of a movie. I'm not a big fan of sappy love stories but they're watchable.

Television:

Just about anything I can TiVo. I love watching TV. I have every cable channel available to humans and will watch all the CSI's, FX (The Shield, Nip/Tuck), HBO (every Sunday show they have), CBS (The Amazing Race, Survivor), Project Runway. Best invention ever.

Books:

Finding time to read is such a luxury these days. Memoirs of a Geisha. The Girls Guide To Hunting and Fishing. The Reader. I read a lot of books. Some I like. Some I don't. Some are just good enough to hold my interest until I finish it. I'll read true crime, mob stories, political books and non-romantic fiction.

Heroes:

My Mom. She was my mother and father and instilled good values and hard work in me. She has always been my biggest cheerleader and my saving grace. She was strong and brave when she had cancer and through her strength and God's will, she beat it. I'm so grateful for her and am glad she's not just my Mother but one of my best friends.

That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

Just before Christmas, I decided I would remove the 4 g barbell from my tongue. It was going to be my 2007 resolution. I figured it was time. I've had it for almost 10 years. Would I miss it? Would I ...

She drives me crazy

Not really. But, everyday is like Cirque de Soleil in my tummy.   At some points, it's almost uncomfortable. I'm not complaining because all of her activity reassures me she is healthy. &nbs...
