About Me


I was born in October 1973 and raised in Pueblo, CO., a small city where many European immigrants came to work at the Colorado Fuel & Iron Corp. at the turn of the 20th Century.
I'm half Italian-Sicilian and half Swedish, Scotch-Irish and Choctaw. My dad is the second oldest of 4 children. His family is where I get my Swedish, Scotch-Irish and Choctaw heritage. My mom is the oldest of 7 children and her grandparents came from Italy and Sicily to Pueblo to work at the CF&I. Of course, my Italian heritage comes from her. Naturally, I'm a great cook!
I've always loved music and decided at a young age I wanted to be a music teacher. So, I followed my dreams and became one!
I have an older brother and a younger brother, both of whom I love very much! My younger brother is married to a lovely lady who I consider to be the sister I never had. I am an auntie now as my niece, Molly, was born on Dec. 1, 2006! She is a doll and I put pics of her on my pics page.
I didn't have any pets until recently. My dog Mikki passed away and I did't have the heart to try to find another dog because he was one of a kind. I did adopt a couple of cats recently, they looked so cute...I think they're the devil in disguise. Oh yes, they are...the devil in disguise....people always told me cats were easy to take care of....I think they lied....Sadly, my female cat, Sophie, passed away November 19, 2006. She will be missed! On the bright side, Dolly was adopted into the family Jan. 4, 2007. She is such a sweet cat! I just love her!
SaySayRose is my nickname. Say is short for Sarah, and Rose is my middle name. My brothers couldn't say Sarah when we were little, so it came out as "Say". All my family calls me SaySayRose, or SaySay. Only my older brother calls me Rosie, and he's the only one allowed to. So if you were wondering where that came from, now you know. Even if you weren't wondering and don't care...you still know and will never forget it.
I'm also on [email protected] me or IM me sometime!

My Interests

I LOVE music!! I love to sing, listen to my favorite groups, go to concerts, write music, teach music, go to concerts, watch sports, play golf, work on cars, talk to people, lots of different things!

I have been fortunate recently to see some great concerts I wasn't able to see when I was younger. I got to see U2, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, and most recently, I went to NYC to see my most fav group of all, a-ha. You remember them, the group with the animated cartoon video, Take On Me. Yeah, you know them, you love them, admit it.

I love to watch sports, mainly football, baseball, basketball, hockey, tennis, and golf. I try to play golf, but I'm not very good at it. It's fun and makes me laugh anyway!

I love classic cars and I own a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe. It's a nice little car and I love to drive it!

I love art too, but I'm not an artist. I really admire people who can paint, throw pottery and draw.

I love the mountains and mother nature. Fishing is one of my favorite things to do in the mountains. Rainbow trout are delicious on the grill!

I also love to spend time with my family and friends. I have a lot of aunts and uncles and cousins. Holidays are always a blast with them!

Listening to the Bob and Tom show in the morning before work is definitely another favorite of mine. The skits/songs they have and listening to the comedians/comediennes on their show really help get me going! Laughing first thing in the morning is better than coffee! Just don't drink coffee while listening....it burns coming out the nose!

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet people to chat with as well as numerous other people; musicians I admire and adore, a certain hockey player, and for kicks, Ozzy Osbourne. I think he'd be cool to hang out with for a day. Also, I think Alice Cooper would be a blast, he has a great sense of humor and he plays golf! I am lucky enough to get to listen to his show here in Denver. If you ever have the chance, listen to it! It's a great show! Alice should write a book or maybe even host a TV game show! He knows a lot of great music history tidbits!

Music:

I love to listen to mostly all types of music. I'll listen to whatever feels good on a given day. Yes, I do sing in the shower and sing in the car. I pretty much sing everywhere I go. I know, people think I'm strange, but I don't really care.

Movies:

I love to watch movies that have a story. I like comedies, dramas, horror movies that aren't juvenile, sci fi, action, and fantasy. Movies with boring characters or no plot do not interest me.

Television:

I don't watch a lot of TV, but if I do, I watch sports, Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, History Channel, HGTV, American Chopper, Monster Garage, or news. I really like watching the do-it-yourself remodling shows or the real estate shows where people are finding a home or selling one.

I like the ingenuity of the design teams and real estate agents who come together to help people make their home sellable (is that a word?) or who can take $1000 and completely re-do a room to look nice. It's all about the paint and color!

Most of all though, I love watching the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, sometimes the Colorado Rockies, golf, or tennis. Something else I like to do is play video games. Oddly, I'm not into playing sports video games except for golf. I like the old video games like Super Mario Bros. and Zelda. They are just more fun to me.

Books:

I have enough books to fill a bookcase, but I don't have as many as I want yet. Someday, I'll have an actual library. I do love to read though. I'll read mysteries, novels, history, literature, blogs, magazines (especially the trashy fashion mags like Glamour and Cosmo, I like Vogue too, but it's not always so trashy) and anything funny and interesting.

Heroes:


My heroes are Jesus Christ (can he be a hero?) my parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, previous teachers, musicians, and comedians. Basically, I think anyone who tries to make the world a better place is a hero. To all my heroes, thanks and much love!
Let me know if I've gone overboard with the blogthings, I thought they were hilarious!
