About Me


i'm just me, what you see is what you get. i'm sweet, kind, loving, generous, and funny. i'm also cowardly, whiny, irritable, irritating, and klutzy. i bruise easily (you should see my heart). people need to get over themselves. someday i hope to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a zamboni driver. i believe in love, God, compassion, forgiveness, and mac & cheese.

use the force.

"i've been looking for something all of my life ..."

My Interests



MY FIRST GRANDCHILD!!

Reading, writing, poetry, music, movies, geek-jocks, i love being on or in the water ... and i have a love-hate relationship with computers




Your Brain's Pattern
You're a simple thinker, and this is actually a very good thing.
You don't complicate matters when you don't have to. You look for the simplest explanation or solution, and you go with that. As a result, your mind is uncluttered and free of stress.
(i think this means i'm an airhead) What Pattern Is Your Brain?

I'd like to meet:

someone who can snatch the pebble from my hand.

You Are Elmo
Sweet and innocent, you expect everyone to adore you. And they usually do!
You are usually feeling: Talkative. You've got tons of stories to tell. And when you aren't talking, you're laughing.
You are famous for: Being popular, though no one knows why. Middle aged men especially like you.
How you live your life: With an open heart. "Elmo loves you!" The Sesame Street Personality Quiz

What Your Taste in Chocolate Says About You
You are sophisticated, modern, and high class. Your taste is refined, but you are not picky. You are often the first to try something new. You are friendly, witty, and likable. You charm is overwhelming. People are enchanted by you. You have a comeback for anything. Because of this, you seem flippant at times.
You love to be in love. You crave romance, whether you're single or not. You feel lost when you don't feel passion... you need someone to adore. The Chocolate Oracle

Heroes:

Professor Stephen Hawking, my parents, and especially my awesome kids, who have overcome more in their relatively short lifetimes than most people go through in 80 years -- they are so incredibly strong and determined that they humble me and make me so proud to be their mother.

You're a Passionate Kisser
For you, kissing is all about following your urges
If someone's hot, you'll go in for the kiss - end of story
You can keep any relationship hot with your steamy kisses
A total spark plug - your kisses are bound to get you in trouble What Kind of Kisser Are You?
