I am here for Friends

About Me

What defines me? Sometimes I can't stand to be alone, and I could talk your ear off, and other times it's all I can do to be tolerant...give me some headphones and some tunes and some Julie time. As I grow older I think I understand myself even less than I did. But, conversely, I like myself more. Try figuring THAT out!

My Interests

Reading. Listening to music. Singing. Fishing. Needlework. Decorating. Reading. Reading about decorating. Reading about fishing. Reading about reading. And I am VERY interested in my new husband and my darling kiddies.

I'd like to meet:

I wouldn't mind meeting Tom Cruise to tell him how much of my respect he's lost for being a total idiot. Not about the Katie thing, either, but about the Scientology. What a waste of a great mind and talent.

Music:

My musical interests are wide and varied, and span from 300 year old stuff to things that just came out last month. The more musical it is, such as Bruce Hornsby, or Nickel Creek, the better I like it. But then, I have a butt-load of Pearl Jam, and there's no singing along with that. Yellow Ledbetter....wtf are THOSE lyrics about?

Movies:

My husband can't get me too interested in movies, however, it's not like I never watch them. Hate: Horror....Love: Comedies. In particular, British humor.

Television:

I haven't watched network television in so long, I feel like a poor missionary in Papua New Guinea....and we have satellite! But I do love me some documentaries, and much to Bill's annoyance, I am addicted to HGTV and Discovery Home Channel.

Books:

Women authors, such as Anita Shreve or Anne Rivers Siddons. The new [for me] genre of "Chick Lit" is surprisingly captivating. Can't read anything gory or mysterious or suspenseful without getting upset and biting off about 3 fingernails.

Heroes:

My best friend Bill is a huge hero of mine....and I had the good sense to marry him!

commute

today's commute was easy. breezy. totally free to buzz along. until we came to a crawl [ok, it was 60 mph, but it sure FELT like a crawl] when a sheriff was in the right lane being a goody two shoes. ...
