About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting


Yeah, well I did finally made it to myspace. I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes.
Let's see... my age shows somewhere on this profile, mother of one grown daughter, and grandmother to two. I am a happy person by nature.
Currently life is good, and I *am* happy. Who wouldn't be - considering that Alaska is beautiful this time of year. I'm working hard to simplify my life even further and that should be taken care of by the end of summer 2008. It'll get done... I always get things done. I have a property in Fox AK for sale (4.79 acres, 6000 sf warehouse) and once that is sold, my life will indeed be simple again. :-)
I am so very happy to have my life back and even happier with the way I'm living it right now! Tickled pink, in fact... dancing in the streets delirious... I think perhaps you get the idea.
No baggage is allowed here anymore. :-) Baggage is all being taken piece by piece to the recycling center and exchanged for smiles! Life is good and I only expect it to get better.

My Interests

Where's that CAT???




Wildlife in general, fishing, hunting, being silly, very silly.

Hanging with friends, sitting for an hour over a milkshake.

Having that special angel wrap me up so tightly that I forget to breathe for a moment.

(re photo above) It may take a day or two to answer emails - it looks like something has crashed on my computer and my mouse is missing.

Oooops... and work,work,work... (lol)

I'd like to meet:

ALL of my old friends... the ones that I've forgotten to stay in closer touch with, the ones I miss so much.
New friends... keepers, those whom will be with me for the rest of forever.

Tattoo artisians/artists from around the world. There is simply not enough ink represented on myspace and tat2'd people are welcome here.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of dispair, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and berevement, the one who faces with us the reality of our powerlessness by simply holding hands and being there, well *that* is a friend who cares.

I am that friend who cares. I AM that friend who is always going to be there, but IF there is a solution or cure, I'm going to be the one to go get it... even if it hurts me!

Music:



Everything from Bluegrass to Big Band, Mozart to Metal, Rock to Ragtime, HipHop to Country but I usually pass on the rap!

My piano is much loved but there are simply not enough hours in the day to play it daily! Life will get simpler soon, I have faith. I do love my Ipod... a ton of music by the best right at my fingertips.

Movies:

Gone with the Wind. (after all, my daughter's name IS Ashley, LOL)
Jeremiah Johnson, old spagetti westerns, scifi, Julia Roberts, tear-jerkers, ACTION, Harry Potter...

Television:

CSI, Boston Legal, I don't really watch much TV and can't remember what comes on when anymore - there are so many other things that mean more than watching that box, lol.

Books:

Anne McCaffrey, Stephen King, John Grisham, Naomi Novik, Hickman, Weiss, Tom Deitz... any good writer that allows me to climb into a book and close the door for a while.

Heroes:



Heroes?
Jon, my Angel.

My best friends: Judy, Cathy, Vicki.

My Moms... both of them - they have always been a source of wisdom that I can draw upon.

And last, but certainly not least, my daughter Ash, who constantly amazes me with her courage.

My Blog

A piece of Alaska

An email came and I got wordy again. After hitting the send button, I though I'd share this with the rest of my friends. I've added a bit, but not much. Happy Father's day a bit late if you're a dad ...

And here I go again... a new world.

A new day, a new life... that's what I'm working on. It's complicated for now, but will get easier as time goes on.  I've learned a little as I've come along in life... learned that setting frien...
