I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, I like to think that I stay a pretty positive person. I work hard to go to school and progress in my studies. I'm a student at NOVA and I'm majoring in applied music. On the side I work as a piano teacher and also work a full time job for Blinc, Inc. (www.blincinc.com)It can be rewarding to work at my desk accomplishing my daily task list, but my mind still drifts away to teaching. I love teaching. What's hard is I don't really have anyone that I can talk about it for hours with. Not playing the instrument, but teaching it.I'm a married woman (so you single men viewing my profile can stop here if you think you have a chance at all --haha!), and it has been 1 year now for me and Andrew.I like to be funny, and sometimes my jokes don't always go over well, but that's ok because I still try hard.I think that I'm also more solitary then group. It seems that I have a REALLY hard time blending in at a party..I tend to sit off and dream in my own world...it's kind of fun and you should try it some time..LOL!I have a lot of friends, oh, and I was born on Leap Year...I will proudly mark that capitalized. I used to be a flight attendant, and I found one of my best friends walking on the opposite side of the road--honestly. You know who you are :)I believe in God. I believe He sent his son to die for me. I believe because of this I should be grateful and positive even during the times where there is trouble. I am always smiling. I am faithful that God does not ever give me anything that I cannot handle. I try and make it to church, but sometimes it's just sooooo nice to be able to sleep in and relax without having to be at another place. I like to talk. I like to sing. I play piano. I don't really read very often, but if something strikes me then I'll read it...why do people say if they like to read? Doesn't everyone say they like to read?I also like to dance. I like to try new th ings. I LOVE to eat out. I like to be with family. I enjoy traveling, and if I had enough time, I would see every country this world has to offer. But life can be difficult and keep you grounded so most of the time that won't happen. When retirement comes I know that I'll be traveling with Andrew. So that's me, but definitely not all of me.

My Interests

I enjoy playing music and teaching piano to young children. It challenges me in all different ways. Spending time with my cat mouse is also enjoyable as she loves to be a lap cat. I'm literally not allowed on the couch w/out her. It's adorable. I also enjoy being with Andrew because we both work so much and keep ourselves busy. When we actually have time together it is sooo nice.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet someone that I can call and talk about teaching with. I would also like to meet Britney Spears just to slap her and ask why she is screwing up her life. It would just give me so much fulfillment. Hmm, who else...oh the whole gang from Women of Faith--definitely Nichole Johnson. I love how expressive she is. Nicholas Cage would also be nice to meet (and yes, I would kiss him, but not like that...) Ohh, past stars. Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, and Beethoven, Mozart, Shubert--favorites.

Music:

Classical and Romantic music are favorites. I enjoy piano songs, new age music--like Enya and Enigma. Other songs I enjoy, country music is my favorite on the radio.

Movies:

I get netflix because I don't have favorite movies. I watch so many of them because it's hard to just pick one I enjoy. Generally though, I like comedies and chick-flicks.

adopt your own virtual pet!

Television:

super nanny, I love Lucy, The Andy Griffith Show, Home Makeover, OoO also the dirty jobs show is good.

Books:

I have to get into it to like it. I don't have any favorite authors.

Heroes:

I don't really have a hero.
