Well...let's see...I am happily married to my hubby (JH) whom I love very much... :-)He is my soul mate for life. I have three beautiful children, who I deeply, deeply love and adore. I'm a very friendly, sometimes moody, emotional, caring and loving person. I dislike people who are fake. I love coffee, doesn’t matter if it’s at home or one of those fancy gourmet coffee shops. I love to EAT, did I mention I really enjoy cooking. When I say cooking I mean the kinda of meals you invite your friends and family over for. I don’t really enjoy the fixing of every night dinners. With a picky 3-year-old toddler, one teen a tween girl and me being a vegetarian, coming up with a meal that everyone likes can be a challenge!
I was born and raised in the United Kingdom and moved to the USA in 1991. Living in the Pacific Northwest is wonderful, there is so much to do. It has been a fun experience. I enjoy getting out with the family as much as time allows. We have found some truly spectacular camping sites in the wilderness. When you live in a big city such as Seattle, it feels great to get away from everyday life for a couple of days. Much of our spare time is spent on the sidelines of a soccer field. My daughter plays premier soccer, which consists of two practices, one game and an indoor game most weeks. It’s got to the point where we know where every elementary, middle and high school, college and park with a soccer field in the Puget Sound area is, and we know where the closest Starbucks, McDonald's, and Subway are to each of those fields. The mats in our car are never free of dried grass, mud and those little black things that look like mouse droppings that come off artificial turf fields!

As for the love of my life, my HUBBY, my best friend for life who has shown me that life does not have to revolve around materialistic things. I can be happy with just the simple things in life. I thank GOD everyday for the wonderful gifts he has given me - STRENGTH, LOVE, and HAPPINESS. I guess...that sums it all up for now. I shall be back... :)

My Interests



LIKES....

Drinking coffee, my computer, lots of music (although not so fond of the country genre). Making my friends smile. Reading, art, yard work, exploring the outside, camping, hiking/backpacking (if the pack is not too heavy). Always enjoy learning new stuff, beading, soccer - I'm a soccer mom, so yes I'd better enjoy it! Drinking coffee (think I said that one, but I really do like coffee), running (on the treadmill – less pain), Pilates, taking pictures, food, chocolate (that’s a food group right) Mountains, volcanoes & rocks, basically geology . I like to keep healthy so I work out 5 times a week (a life threatening emergency can sure help with motivation). Love to enjoy a glass of wine with friends, but I can't stand those who overindulge - shows lack of self control! I like to work hard, enjoy real estate….oh I like money; life is a lot of fun with the stuff, so yeah money is important. I like bugs, especially spiders (not caterpillars, they just creep me out)
DISLIKES...
Don’t like anything sticky (I’m getting the Hebegeebees thinking about it), may have to ask my mom about any early childhood syrup experiences – hmmm. I don’t like teeth, I like a nice smile, but I don’t like those loose wobbly teeth that kids always have to show you….yuck. I’m scared of falling down stairs, (possibly a connection with teeth here). People with BO, ladies with ugly feet that insist on wearing sandals. People that talk, but never stop to listen. There’s more but you may start to think me a little strange (admit it, that's why you like me).

PERSONALITY...
I am a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things.
Unsatisfied by the ordinary, I reach for an epic, extraordinary life. I want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.
I posses a sharp and keen intellect. My mind is my primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep me down. I believe energy can break down any wall. I’m an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives me an intoxicating power over others.
If you are a friend of mine, you are one of only a very few. You are truly a special person, one that I would walk off a cliff for.
At my worst, I am a narcissist. Full of myself and even proud of my faults. Stubborn and opinionated, I know what I think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope - you'll need to earn my respect, I often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior, but will give them the chance to prove me wrong…not that I’m ever wrong!

I'd like to meet:

Absolutely. I would love to meet.

.. .. .. ..

Music:

I like all kinds of music, whatever takes my fancy at a particular time.

Television:

Don't get much chance to watch much TV - Being married to an Xbox junkie cuts my viewing time down to almost ZERO!
24 - Kiefer Sutherland
Boston Legal - Never would have guessed William Shatner could ever be anyone else other than Capt James T Kirk, but I just love him as Denny Crane. James Spader as Alan shore - pompous, arrogant, and conceited, with an insatiable sexual appetite.

March was a pretty crummy month!

March turned out to be a pretty crummy month for me, and everyone at our house.  While trying to get myself in some semblance of shape and to resume a full time career I encountered a huge s...
