Well, most of you all should know that I LOVE all kinds of ANIMALS. I voluntered all during High School at The Audubon Zoo, & when The Aquarium of The Americas opened - I voluntered there for 10 years.
I like to be busy most of the time but I know when it is time to slow down, relax, & enjoy myself. Some of my favorite things to do to relax is to take a nice hot bubble bath, light my incense, & burn the tons of candles I have around the house.
I work very hard & learned many years ago that what is the use of working hard if you can't enjoy some of the money you worked so hard for. So, I now put money aside from each paycheck for my vacation fund. I go on vacation at least twice a year. I have gone on a few cruises, & I LOVE to visit California and are in the planning stages to move there. People think I am nuts to do these things by myself but since I don't have someone to do them with, it was either learn to do things by myself or I may never get the chance to do them. So, I choose the adventure of traveling by myself :)
I think having regrets are one of the worst burdens you keep with you over the years and so I try my hardest not to have any. I try to do/say the things I really want to when I have the opportunity; well, most things that is :).

My Interests

Animals, Photography, Traveling, Cooking, Recycling, Environmental Issues, Music, Computers - to say a few.

Boy - you name it I like it.........I love to experience new things, I try to do as many different things as I can in life. I like to learn about all different types of cultures, countries, people, religions. I always ask why or how something is done because I love to learn about almost everything.

Favorite Foods: Pasta, Seafood, Sushi, BBQ Ribs, Chinese, Japanese, Fruits & Vegetables
Favorite Restaurants: Semolina, Roy's, Little Tokoyo, P.F. Changs, Carrabba's, King Buffet
Favorite Fast Foods: McDonalds, Bud's Broiler, Taco Bell, Carl's Jr.

I'd like to meet:

As long as I have a handfull of close friends that care about me and me about them......that would be there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on or a helping hand or to just hang around with, then I'm doing good.

Music:

I really do like all types of Music. My FAV is the 80's and my least Fav is Country.

Movies:

I like many types of movies - depends on my mood but I am always up for a good Horror or Sci-Fi Flick.

Television:

TV- you'll amost always find my Tv on the Sci-Fi Channel, but I do like the following too: Animal Planet Food Network TNT Comedy Channel TBS to name a few....

Books:

I don't get too much time to read - I mainly read when I travel.

Heroes:

My grandmother - she was one of 12 children & helped her mother with the family. Then, she raised her three children.

Then, when I was 4, my grandmother without any hesitation, took us in(me, my mom, my sister, and my newborn brother).

She raised us while my mother worked. She instilled in me the values I have today - and I will always be grateful of that. I only wish she was still around to see how I turned out.
