First and foremost, being a wife and mother to my kids (Vinnie and Devon!) Everything else has taken a seat way in the back. I love the smell of the dryer, boozin, perusin, restoring wigs, playing with hair, road trips, sing-a-longs, friends who are nuts, dreaming, scarfs, cleaning, getting ready for the day, leaving people happy, hearing people laugh, animals, kids, books, meeting new peeps, and Crystal!!!
Moms. Play groups. People who know how to have a good time and can still wake up to tend to thier business everyday.
Way to many to mention, but here are a few: Billy ocean, Magnetic Fields, The Cure, Bjork, Year of the Robot, Bright Eyes, Cat Power, IMA Robot, Saves the Day, Rilo Kiley, The Roots, Van Morrison, Outkast, Louis Armstrong, Bonnie Prince Billy, The Faint, The Postal Service, Morrisey, Peaches, Ronnie Milsap, Prince, patsy!, Oatis Redding,
Kill Bill 1 & 2, Office Space, The Big Labowski, All About The Benjermans, How High, Pi, Spun, Trainspotting, Soul Plane, Any Christopher Guest film, Love Actually and Fast Times. Stand up comedy also rules. I watched Friday after next while I was in labor!! A doctor yelled at my family for playing it, but he didnt know it was my idea! Laughter will get you through anything!
Scrubs, Animal Planet, Music Videos, Family Guy, Aqua Teen, Gray's Anatomy, Rescue me, nip tuck, the war at home, everybody loves Raymond...
J.D. Salinger, Chuck Palahniuk, Utne Reader, Martha!
