I am here for Friends

About Me


I am half Irish and half Sweedish. Strang mix I know. I was born and raised in New Jersey. My ex was in the military and I moved around alot. I have an 19 year old daughter who may on occassion tax my nerves, she is, without a doubt, the light of my life. I am 47 years old. I like doing crafts. Especially cross stitch. I am just about finished with my latest project and I am so proud of it. I am making a lap quilt that will be 100% hand stitched. My best friend will most likely get it. I like to go for long walks. I love playing in the snow. I love going down the shore and hanging around on the boardwalk. As much as I like expensive things...(I'm a girl what did you expect) I LOVE the simple things in life! The things money cant buy. They are the best!Myspace Graphics

My Interests

I like to walk and maybe even ride a bike but thats the extent of exercising. Working out scares me.

I'd like to meet:

I love those kooky people down there

Music:

Mr. Bojangles

I am also pretty much versitile in music, although lately I have been drawn to R&B and Jazz with a little attitude thrown in. I enjoy classic rock and motown. Nothing or no one has come close to "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers. I don't think any song will! Now thats romance!

Movies:

Like music, I have a wide interest in movies but I stop short at saying I like all genre. I do however have to say I am really liking M. Night Shyamalan. I have heard him being compared to Steven King but I don't see it. I love Steven King but his movies never turn out like his books which leave me feeling somewhat disapointed. But I have to say, I love a good romantic comedy! Nothing better than curling up on the couch and watching one. I tend to watch a lot of scary flicks but I can do without all the gore. A lot of people told me how disappointing The Village was and I am glad I didn't listen. I rather enjoyed it. I think my "as close to favorite" genre would be psycological thrillers. Man I love watching them.

Television:

Again...I am pretty much versitile on TV watching as well. I love to watch sit-coms but wont whine if I miss an episode. I used to religiously watch Carnival on HBO! That showed grabbed me right from the start and never let go. Boy I wish they would bring that back! I watch all the CSI shows. But the original is still the best. This new show Criminal minds is AWSOME! I just love watching that show. Some shows rarely grab me like these have. And believe me...I will whine if I miss an episode ;)

Heroes:

September 10, 1928 December 13, 2004This is my dad...my hero. The only man who will love me unconditionally and without reservation. He scared the monsters from under my bed and in my closet away. He made all boo-boos go away with a kiss and a smile. He wiped away tears with the biggest most gentle hands and helped me mend when once again my heart was broken. The one persom to tell me my marriage failed, not me. He taught me love, pride, acceptance. He taught me to believe im myself. He taught me what a hero really was. I still miss him. I guess I always will. I Love You DadMy daughter is my biggest hero living! She has more strength, compassion and understanding she gives herself credit for. She has carried me over the roughest of waters and never blinked an eye. She never looses the faith no matter how trying times can be and she always manages to make me smile! I love her more than any words could ever say!
