About Me

Have a GREAT Memorial Weekend!
Remember what this Holiday Represents!
Remember in prayer those who have fallen
in our nation's service; and please add in your prayers
the safety of those who are currently serving our nation.
Without these people we would not remain a free nation.
Stay Safe!
Yankee with Heart :)


My mother was born in Rome...so I am an


I on the other hand was born in

Although I was born and resided up north, I have spent the majority
of my life here in the south.
In spite that fact however I am a Yankee at Heart!
I loved where I lived in upstate NY.
The mountains, lakes, fresh/crisp air...the atmosphere. I love it all.

I'm happiest when those around me are happy; and there's no hiding the fact that I take great pleasure knowing I am the reason for their happiness.
I have an unusual sense of humor and enjoy acting a little bit silly sometimes.
I have a tendency to LOL in dead silence...
I crave excitement & emotional freedom & like to break the rules and take risks at times. I am up for (just about) anything. Something I have yet to do that is on my Must-Do-List is swim with the dolphins, I think that would be such an exquisite experience.
There are things I would still like to attempt and experience such as rock climbing, scuba diving, sky diving...stuff like that. Adventurous and daring! There's no denying that I may experience a little nervous tension, but it should come to rest, like when I am pushed out of the plane or off a cliff!!! :)
I have a deep desire to travel & see the world but I haven't found that special someone to enjoy my adventure(s) with.
I'm very intuitive & readily sense what others feel whether it's expressed or not.
I am a reliable & trust worthy person.
I am a very upfront person.
What you see is what you get.
I don't shy away from the truth, no matter how unpleasant.

I speak my mind I expect the same in return.
I admit I am highly caring, generous, nurturing & supportive to the emotional needs of other people. I've been told I "care" too much-is that possible? I do have a tendency to put others before my own needs. However, once I sense something is expected of me and/or I am being taken advantage of I tend to pull away. I do things for others out of the kindness of my heart-period. I want nothing in return but appreciation and respect.
I am described as intensely willful, zealous and dedicated. I am very open-minded & deeply curious at times. I have many aspirations. I think a great deal about my career. I am an original thinker, capable of unique discoveries and innovations; that probably comes from having an analytical mind by nature. I tend to ferret out the facts, especially if there is an element of mystery.
I am self-reliant, in fact "Independent" should be my middle name! Instinctively I am a fighter and an individualist who can stand-alone. I'm not content with superficial appearances. Kindness, consideration & tenderness impress me more than any sort of honor the world can bestow. I do not conform to the standards that other people have set. Above all, I am an individual who does what I please regardless of customs and norms.
To know me is to ALWAYS remeber this, I admire those that are upfront and totally HONEST with me. I WILL respect you MORE if you tell me the truth (knowing it may hurt me), than lie to me to keep from hurting me. Eventually everything comes out; to me, betrayal is the ultimate deception-one that I REFUSE to tolerate.

Activities I ENJOY!
I have two younger siblings that have children. I love spending quality time with each of them. My oldest nephew is 9, he and I occasionally take road trips together-we have a blast! I'm so excited he is finally tall enough to ride the "cool" fun rides with me at the theme parks.
I love going to theme parks.
I love the out doors! I take interest in activities such as, camping, fishing, mountain hikes, biking, swimming, jet skiing, wakeboarding, snow skiing, just to name a few. Oh wait, lets not forget CONCERTS! :)
I love sports-both watching and playing. I take a particular interest in watching both football and baseball (if Yankees are in playoffs).
I enjoy playing football (I can throw at least 23 yards-no that's not w/ a nerfball-LOL), baseball/softball, basketball... I have a great jumper shot heehee : ) In addition I take pleasure in activates such as soccer, tennis, volleyball (I have a mean serve!), and I am always up for a round of golf, miniature golf that is.
I suppose I should admit upfront that I am extremely competitive so I am always up for a challenge! At times I may be a bit aggressive but it's all in fun. Hey, that doesn't mean I am good at everything I attempt-it's ok, we can laugh at my endeavor(s) together.
That's what its all about right? Having fun!

Lets see, in doors I like dancing, bowling, playing darts, air hockey, pool (not too good), racquetball...pillow fights...just about anything :)

On the flip side, I have an imaginative, inspired mind & have an aptitude for art and creative writing. I like to write, attempt different projects, crafts etc, time permitting.I like art galleries and going to museums but it's hard to find someone with the same interest as my own (that are not tied up w/ obligations-married and/or have children) to go with.
Well, that's about as in depth as I can get.....

My Interests

"
Welcome to my page :)



It is extremely important to show appreciation for LIFE!
Live by these three words.... You've heard the motto,

..

There is so much to life that is still yet to be explored. "
~ Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed. ~

~ When it comes to the future, there are three kinds of people:
those who let it happen, those who make it happen,
and those who wonder what happened. ~

~ The vast possibilities of our great future will become realities only if we make ourselves responsible for that future. ~


Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift that is why we call it the present!

Remember that as you begin each day.
The future is shaped by the choices we make today; the truest course is the one you set with your heart.
Adventure is whatever enlivens the heart and inspires the soul so set sail with your dreams, for you never know where they may take you. Create the life you desire and live it with all your heart and soul. Remember, the only impossible journey is the one you never begin!

I'd like to meet:





Who I'd like to meet?
I am interested in meeting a


Know one?!?! Smokers need not respond! I would like to meet a man that has a universal mind; meaning he possess many different traits. I'd rather meet a man that knows a little about various things; verses someone that knows a lot about only a couple things. A man that holds numerous diverse & or unique qualities totally turns me on!It is equally important that the person I share my time with is interested in some of the same interest(s) as my own. I have a creative mind, it'd be great to find someone that takes the same pride & enthusiasm in tackling a project with me & after can share in the same sense of accomplishment. I'd like to meet a man that has goals & tries to attain them throughout his life, not just wish & talk about it; instead he goes after what he wants. A man that knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it is totally HOT!!!

Rosemary

If you actually read everything I wrote, I am extremely impressed! Kudos to you!!! Now how about reading some of my "BLOGS", up to it? Am I asking too much? LOL I mentioned I have a creative mind...To break from the monotony (hearing about me) how about at least read one. Um, I would suggest, Will ya clean your monitor already.

..

Music:

Alternative, classic/hard rock, 80's....All types, but I will admit I haven't given Country much of a chance. To narrow it down for ya-I tend to listen to Planet Radio.

Movies:

I like action & love suspense thrillers!The best movies are the ones I cannot figure out until the very end. I tend to figure out the plot/ending too soon. So if there is a twist & I didn't see the ending comin' then it'll go down as a great movie in my book.I enjoy LAUGHINGso I like comedy as well. I find that the animated movies are both cute & entertaining, gotta love the subtle innuendos :)

There are a ton of movies out there-too many to list but I suppose I can give you an idea:HOT, TOTALLY HOT!

Television:

I do not get to watch much television since I am always on the go but I have taken an interest in Friends, House, 24 ...sometimes I get into the reality shows such as Survivor, The Mole & The Apprentice, but it is hard to stay on top of them. I thoroughly enjoy watching HGTV & DIY [Do-It-Yourself] Network; you can learn a lot! Like how to be Miss Fix-it! :)



Before you attempt a project make sure you don't end up like these fools!
Can you say....Had a BAD day?!? LOL

Books:

Knowledge is a very powerful thing! What I don't know, I will know; I google anything and everything.
I like to read (mostly) magazines that keep me up to date with what's going on, (Times, Consumer Reports, Natural Living, Popular Science) anything that intrigues me and while I'm reading it I think, "Wow-now that was some interesting shit!" I will most likely wanna share my new-found knowledge with you, so be prepared :)
When I read (books) for leisure I prefer to read suspense thrillers; as w/ movies I love the heart pounding, fast pace, twists and turns, keeps you going & guessing till the end...
I also benefit from reading self-help books (Joyce Myers). Hey-everyone has their shortcomings, and I am not ashamed to admit mine. I am fortunate cause I am fully aware of mine and choose to work on making myself a better person, in the ways I feel necessary. I am open to constructive criticism; I am most definitely capable of taking it in, it's all in timing and approach.
We all, at one point or another have a difficult time as a result of choices we’ve made. You need to think about what's important in your life, and discover what chains you down. It is the time to acknowledge your faults and take steps to overcome them. Let go of any fears or inhibitions that are holding you back. Believe in yourself!
WORDS/QUOTES TO LIVE BY
There is a miracle inside of you just waiting to be let out!"

ASIDE FROM THE WORD, "BITCH", I LOVE WHAT THIS STANDS FOR!

Heroes:


I do not have a particular HERO per say; however I do feel that there are many `heroes presently among us & heroes of the past; The definition of a hero is a figure renowned for exceptional courage and fortitude. A person normally becomes courageous by performing an extraordinary and praiseworthy deed.
I am dedicating this song & the below slideshow I created to the many Heroes out there. God Bless you!

FIDELITY, HONOR, VALOR!
Thank you Shinedown for going over seas For the men and women serving our country. God Bless you!
Shed Some Light

America is known as the "LAND OF THE FREE", but in my eyes we are the HOME OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!Our military troops should be recognized as heroes; they consistently place their life on the line for us to live in peace that to me is noble and courageous.
Please watch this slideshow. Take a moment to remember what they do for us.

The Essence of Leadership A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decision, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. It does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. Leaders are much like Eagles, they don't flock, you find them one at a time.
"
AK, you are always on my mind and forever in my heart.

God Bless Our Military.We ask, Lord, that You guide the leaders of our great country in all their decisions. The burden that has been placed on their shoulders is overwhelming. We ask that with Your infinite wisdom You guide them gently to the right decision.Protect and guide our military, oh Lord; strengthen them in their trials; give them courage to face the peril which besets them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
