Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering - Jung

About Me

I'm a 42 year old woman who is incredibly happy! I am strong and independant and have a love of learning. I have been in the working world for 8 years now after being a housewife most of my adult life. Both jobs are hard and admirable. I have a beautiful, grown daughter who is married to a wonderful man and has given me a beautiful grandson. I also have two wonderful step grandaughters who are adorable and a blast to be around. My family is very important to me. I love music, books, movies, playing guitar, and just hanging out. I have the most amazing man in my life. I have never met a man who will give so much, he is wonderful. He makes me sooo happy. People can tell that I am happier and his friends tell him all the time that they haven't seen him this happy in years..........it's a nice feeling knowing the love we feel for each other on the inside shows on the outside too.

My Interests

I love to dance. I want to salsa and tango the night away! Got to love those latin dances! I am a real homebody. I love to spend time with my man, he makes me very happy. I love hanging out and watching movies and Mike and I have quite the extensive collection. Between my love of independant movies and his love of a good blockbuster, we have it covered. I love a good meal and Mike is the most amazing cook! That man makes my mouth water in soooo many ways! I love spending time with my family, no one can make me smile like Elvis does. I love good mexican food and chinese food. I love barware and Mike and I have a great bar set up, now I just need to learn how to mix a drink other than a Cosmopolitan. I love to sew, that's what my generation did when growing up in Utah, 6 years of Home Ec baby! I also make jewelry and have recently started stamping again...I'm so damn domestic! I love shopping for clothes and shoes, though I am also a bargain queen. It's not easy shopping for clothes in Elko, believe me! A woman should have a great little black dress, a sexy pair of stilettos (or 80 pairs), and always have shaved legs.

I'd like to meet:

Wait, does this mean famous people or people in my everyday life?

Music:

Music is a big part of my life. I love all kinds. I think every genre has something I like. I love rockabilly, punk, lounge, swing, big band, and old C&W. Some of my favorites are The White Stripes, Rancid, The Reverend Horton Heat, NIN, Sublime, Bad Religion, Johnny Cash, Louis Prima, Ani Difranco, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Chris Isaak, Pink Martini, Bouncing Souls, and many others. I have recently found out about an amazing artist named Wolfgang Parker, he is one swingin' cat. I think there are a few really perfect songs in the world. A few are "Hallelujah" done by Jeff Buckley or Rufus Wainwright, "Baby, You can Sleep While I Drive" by Melissa Etheridge, and "I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen.

Movies:

Secretary, Pulp Fiction, Big Night, Frailty, Love Actually, The Big Lebowski, Waiting For Guffman, Best in Show, Clay Pigeons, Wallace and Grommit, The English Patient, Sexy Beast, Get Shorty, Snatch, Touching the Void, Spellbound, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Fargo, The Graduate, Office Space, Saved!, Glengarry Glen Ross, Swingers, TLOR trilogy, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Little Miss Sunshine, Magnolia, A History of Violence, 28 Days Later, V for Vendetta, and Napolean Dynamite.........are just some of the movies in my collection. I am a movie buff and love nothing more than getting under a blanket and watching movies all night.

Television:

I'm a big fan of What Not to Wear on TLC......Stacy and Clinton are my heroes. Mike gets after me for watching too much HGTV but he doesn't complain that our house looks awesome. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is hilarious and for real politics I watch Real Time with Bill Maher. I recently bought Mike seasons 1-6 of The Sopranos and we have been on a Sopranos marathon, it's been great. We love to snuggle up in front of the TV, whether it be for movies or plain old TV. I catch CSI when I can.I like all the CSI's but David Caruso gets on my nerves.

Books:

I'm a huge John Irving fan. My favorite book is "A Prayer For Owen Meany". It was an amazing book. I have a slight obsession with armadillos and dressmaker dummies because of it. I read about 50/50 fiction to non-fiction. I loved "Actual Innocence" by Barry Scheck........if you can read this and still be pro-death penalty there is something wrong with you. I loved "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer.....being a former Mormon I found it informative and eye opening and also validated my reasons for leaving the LDS church.
