About Me


graphics by ProfileModz.comI am first and formost a MOM to three great kids. This past summer saw me at home with them all day for the first time in three years (yes they drove me crazy at times.) But I have to give them credit because they have been very patient and understanding with Mommy being in school for two years at night. I am now in the home stretch of my degree in Public Relations and now all my classes are during the day while they are at school so I get to be home with them every night for homework and dinner. My family comes first then my closest friends.

I'd like to meet:

I love to meet new people all the time. I can be a big flirt and sometimes that might get me in trouble....lol. Mostly I want to meeet people who are genuine and down to earth. I have had my share of drama that past 6 months and now I just want to spend my time with those who really matter to me and I matter to them. People who can make me laugh are always a plus. Someone who can hold an intellectual conversation and has knowledge to share.

Television:

I like suspense and mystery shows like CSI, the original...not the million spin offs. I also like anything that will make me laugh.

Books:

Ok....I have a new book for you. Its called Infidel and is by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. A biography about one of Europe's most controversial political figures and a target for terrorists. I just finished A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah and it is a very powerful story of a 12 year old boy from Sierra Leone and the ravages of war he saw. I also just finished reading Many Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini who also wrote The Kite Runner. Both are excellent books with great insight to a culture I knew very little about. The Five People You Meet In Heaven is always on my gift list. I just finished a good summer read, Mad Girls in Love. Another book I really enjoyed was Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin.....you should pick it up and give it a read.

Why is it others are allowed to "defend" themselves and make accusations about others but when someone wants to contradict the accusations they threw out they don't want to hear it?  I have a the...
