I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet anyone who has a good attitude. I like people who are pretty easy going and do not lash out at others!

Music:

I LOVE all types of music but not some Hip-Hop, Rap and Big Band Sounds. I have to be in the mood for Classical Music but I can listen to all other music round the clock!!I LOVE my XM Radio and enjoy listening to Pop, Rock, Oldies, Standards and R and B. Some of my favorites are Black Eyed Peas, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Jim Croce, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, ABBA, The Drifters, Smokey Robinson, Huey Lewis and the News, Neil Young, James Taylor, Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Phil Collins, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, The Eagles, Nora Jones, The Doors, Jewel, Mamas and the Pappas, Eric Clapton, Shania Twain, Joe Cocker, Dido, Five for Fighting, Enya, Foreigner, Village People, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Patsy Cline, Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. My newest favorite combination is Sheryl Crow & Stevie Nicks.I also LOVE going to live concerts!! I have seen Dave Matthews Band, Huey Lewis, Neil Young, Peter Paul & Mary, Creedence Clearwater, Neil Diamond, Black Eyed Peas, Jason Mraz, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in concert.

Movies:

Any movie that makes me laugh, cry or think is extremely good in my eyes!Most recently, I liked Walk the Line & Talladega Nights. Some other favorites are Sweet Home Alabama, Elf, Ron Burgundy-Anchorman, Princess Bride, Motor Cycle Diaries, Oceans Eleven, Dumb and Dumber, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Lord of the Rings, A Beautiful Mind, Brave Heart, War of the Worlds and Mask. I really liked Stranger Than Fiction. Will Ferrell is excellent in it!

Television:

Televison to me is a time waster but I do love watching "Desperate Housewives" and I am addicted to "Lost". That is it!

Books:

Any books by Nicholas Sparks and Anita Shreve. I recently read "Marley and Me" by John Grogan. It made me laugh and also made me shed many tears. Another good book about life with a dog is " For Bea" by Kristin Von Kreisler. I also love reading any writings by Kahlil Gibran. I am currently reading "Body Surfing" by Anita Shreve. It is really good!

Heroes:

My children who have grown up to be my friends and contemporaries. My Dad-I miss him. My husband who can fix or repair anything.
