Unexpected gifts at an unexpected time. Dinner with my friends. Wine, margaritas...a stiff drink at the right time. My ipod. Reading autobiographies. Writing, singing, acting, and all forms of entertainment. I love to travel...alone or with friends. Watching the Steelers. Spending time with my nephew when I'm home. Talking to my dad...cause he's far away. I love girl talk...my true friends are my heart. Watching movies...laughing and crying. If I'm being honest...shopping. I love my cat Jack....animals just get me. Laughing till I cry. Learning new things. Rainbows and Sunrises.... my interests make me sound like Mary Poppins..trust me there is a dark side as well.
