Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

About Me


I'm a stay at home type of person. Once I get home, I don't really like to leave. Mostly because it means packing up the kids. I have two of them which is quite the handful! But I love to talk! Once you get me started, it's hard to get me to stop. My husband's learned how to tune out half of what I say. I have some tough competition with the kids. I swear, Ben DOES NOT shut up! And, of course, Lexie needs to keep pace with him, so even though she's not using words, she gets chattering just as much. When I'm not busy running around after them, I like to take some quiet time and read. Or if the mood strikes, some needlecraft. God, doesn't that make me sound old?

My Interests



..

I love to read. Most of the time you will find me with my nose in a book. I mostly read sci fi/fantasy and mystery. I enjoy taking pictures of my kids, the cats, and the scenery around me. And my husband when he's not paying attention! I also enjoy various crafts; cross-stitch, scrapbooking, whatever catches my eye at the craft store. In other spare minutes of time, I like to play video games on the computer, Play Station 2, and the Game Cube.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Very popular, one of you is not enough.

You Are 45% Normal
While some of your behavior is quite normal...
Other things you do are downright strange
You've got a little of your freak going on
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

I'd like to meet:



Adopt your own virtual pet!
I'd love to meet some people around the same age with children. Since moving down here, my husband and I haven't really met any other couples to get together with. All I really ask is that if you're going to send me a friend request, send a message while you're at it and tell me a little bit about yourself. I'd rather have people I know on my friend list than people who are sending out mass requests.

Music:



I listen mostly to pop/rock, country, R&B, and hip-hop. My favorites include Martina McBride, Kelly Clarkson, and I absolutely LOVE Bon Jovi! And I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Disney freak. I can't hear a Disney song without singing along!

Movies:



Disney movies top the list of my favorites; Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin. I also like mostly sci fi movies also. LOTR, Star Wars, Stargate. Field of Dreams is another movie that I always stop and watch when it's on tv.

Television:

For the most part, my tv is always tuned into the Disney Channel. Partly because of the kids and partly because I enjoy some of the shows on there as well. However, there are a few adult shows that I won't miss. House is probably number one. If you haven't already, I recommend you tune in, it's great! I also like NCIS and Bones. Guess there aren't that many this season since they cancelled some of the new shows I started watching. Eureka on Sci Fi is also great. Check it out!

Books:

MySpace Layouts

Like I said before, I read mostly mystery and sci fi. For mystery I read Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, Steve Berry, and Dan Brown. For sci fi, I love Goodkind and Jordan. They're like staples for sci fi. Jim Butcher and the Dresden files are a must read along with Anne Bishop's Jewel series. My husband also got me to finally read the Salvatore books with Drizzt. Otherwise, I go for the fantasy part of sci fi; dragons and magic. I throw a bit of horror in with Dean Koontz and Laurel Hamilton (although I think she writes more erotica than horror!)

Impromptu Hair Cut

Well, I think every child does it once either to themselves or thier sibling. They decide to get into the haircutting business. Lexie did it to herself this evening. She's recently become obsessed wit...

Surrogate Pregnancy

It was brought up to me years ago by a friend who wasn't sure she wanted to go through labor. Since I seemed to have had a pretty easy time with Ben, then it shouldn't be that hard with another one. I...

Bully Girls

Wow! Two blogs so close to one another. Must be from the lack of people that speak English I have around me. Lexie just isn't that great of a conversationalist. So anyway, I don't remember if I've wr...

Bit of an update

Unemployment sucks. The first week was mixed. It kinda felt like I just took a week off and was on vacation, but I was stuck home with two kids who fight all day and drive me up a wall, all while try...

Little Lost Kitten

Hey everyone, I have a kitten in my house that is not mine. I found him outside and since I'm a major sap, I took him in. However due to lack of funds at the moment, we won't be able to keep him. I do...

A First Time for Everything

There is a first time for everything. For me, Thursday was the first time I'd ever been fired from a job. Funny thing is, I'm not all that upset about it. I'm stressed on how we're going to pay the bi...

Hidden Obsessions

Everyone has something that they don't want other people to know they like. It's like a guilty pleasure. For me while in jr high and high school, it was Barbie Dolls. I collected the Holiday...
