You're just jealous of my shoes...

About Me

The headline is a phrase that my tween says all the time. I think it is hilarious. I like to read and write and create. I chat with friends and am told that I am funny.....I am really not sure how to take that.....Did I say something intentionally funny? LOL On ethnicity, I put other as I am of mixed European and Middle Eastern ancestry. I guess that means that I can launch a crusade against myself. (snort!) Ok, I am Lebanese-Druze, German, Welsh and English. Lotsa mountain people there.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Ghandi? Freud? Is this supposed to be an entry where I am supposed to be all mystical and thought provoking or is this the spot where people I would actually like to meet will see it and sign up to be my friend? The first sounds really fake and the second sounds really pathetic....hmmmm....fake or pathetic, fake or pathetic.....Ok, I pick pathetic. Would Sammy Hagar be my friend?

My Blog

This is the day

I really have hate the 11th.  I just can't stand the sadness of it all.  And I know I am going to get grief from a few select people.

Damn, I feel like Kansas today

   I bought a new belly dance workout dvd.  This one to concentrate on the glutes.  I feel so much like I am Kansas (and not the 70's/80's band).  Flat and wide.  Will wo...

My son (again)

Ok, my 14 year old son just said to me, "Mom, I took apart your sewing machine and I can't get it back together.  I hope that is ok with you."(what can you really say after you stop crying?)

Pepto Bismol

I have been driven crazy about this.  Who is that old rock singer that is appearing in the Pepto Audition commercials?  You know who I mean, the guy with the bleached hair and the GooGoo Dol...

Birthdays on 9-11

I used to love my birthday, but being Arab-American and having my birthday when it is, it really is not something to celebrate.  I took the day off and slept late.  Tried to write, but could...

Happy V-Day and surgery update
