About Me

......if you want to know me, ask me, see me, touch me, be with me.... please don't lie to me, just beside me... ;) .... prepare for just me, no BS, no amazing self-proclaimed accolades...perhaps a smudge of dark chocolate, and most of all, you'll find a girl who wants to have fun...... ...................................

My Interests

b.s.-ing with whomever, having fun, reading, writing, gambling (a little too much), my work, lovin' on my pets, taking care of my yard, altho i seem to have a lot of 'turnover' in my flower areas :( , going out with friends, especially with a brew or two on a patio.................

I'd like to meet:

............. ....... .................... the Creator of the Universe...so many questions...and pretty much anyone the Universe sends my way; there is something of value in everyone, all of us.... Often fate has a way of nudging us when we least expect it, so maybe we'll meet... i'd like that.......... hmmmm, are YOU feeling nudged yet? ........

........................just playing....but, maybe, huh?......................... ............i love this... i am guessing there are people praying for me, too, which is a thank you, Jesus! Keep those prayers coming!!!!.................................... ... tru 'dat!!! table, td{background:ur("http://x.myspace.com/images/spacer.gif") transparent no-repeat 0px 0px; border:0;padding:3px;}p, span, div, tr{background:transparent;}table table {border: 0px;}table table table {border:2px solid; border-color: 000;}table table table table {border: 0px;}.contactTable A{background:transparent !important;}.contactTable td{padding:0px;}.bodyContent{background-color:673d5c;backgro und-color:673d5c;}.profileInfo .. {}.contactTable{}.interestsAndDetails{}.extendedNetwork{}.la testBlogEntry{}.friendSpace{}.blurbs{}.friendsComments{}.nav igationBar{}.nametext{}.lightbluetext8{}.whitetext12{}.orang etext15{}.btext{}.redbtext{}.blacktext10{}.blacktext12{}.red text{}.text{}A.searchlinkSmall:link{}TD{}.friendsComments A IMG{}.friendSpace A IMG{}.profileInfo A IMG{}.friendsComments A:hover IMG{}.friendSpace A:hover IMG{}.profileInfo A:hover IMG{}.contactTable .whitetext12{}.blurbs .orangetext15{}.interestsAndDetails .whitetext12{}.latestBlogEntry .btext{}.friendSpace .btext{}.friendSpace .orangetext15{}.friendsComments .orangetext15{}TD A{}.profileInfo A{}.latestBlogEntry A{}.blurbs A{}.friendSpace A{}.interestsAndDetails A{}.navigationBar A.navbar{}ctl00_Main_ctl00_UserFriends1_Tr1 A.redlink{}A:hover{}.profileInfo A:hover{}.latestBlogEntry A:hover{}.blurbs A .....................

Music:

.. I am not a music snob, liking many different tunes and artists...as evidenced by my playlist, which is maybe a tad long???? ;) Music speaks to us all differently, from when we first learn of it's powers to make us feel good, wanting to sing and dance, celebrating whatever...to its powers to heal, dream, and as the saying goes, the first time we wish the song will never end...and it may be because we don't ever want that dance to end.....hmmmm, dance with me?....... >..

Movies:

i like almost anything that makes me laugh, some independent films, mysteries, documentaries, chic flicks ... no horror films, sci fi, or bloody ones...as soon as the lights get turned down to low, i have been known to fall asleep...i don't really 'see' too many movies in their entirety...Crash is a fav..................

Television:

grey's anatomy, boston legal, cold case, Jimmy Kimmel...if I can stay awake...no cable tv.....

Books:

anything i can get my hands on that seems interesting...altho time is limited...books offer me insights and a chance to escape, sometimes it's better for me to be just where i am...

Heroes:

my heroes would be anyone who remains true to themselves, makes the hard choices even when they risk standing alone; anyone who dares to love and laugh and live with the anticipation that things will get better...with hope, joy, and gratitude in their hearts, their spirits...and willingly shares with others... To the people who have loved me, tried to teach me, been patient with me, and 'boldly gone before us'.... another THANK YOU!!! ............. ...sometimes a girl needs to know when to say ok...and move on, not looking back, after all, we gave it our best shot...again and again...with faith that when one door closes, another will open........................................................ ............................ ......"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on".....FDR.....
