About Me

Hey all! If you're on my friends list you know most everything there is to know about me. Married to my wonderful husband, Mark; I have a wonderful 3 1/2 year old daughter, Allison; lots of 4 legged children running around the house (mostly shedding like crazy right now!!!).

I'm a hockey fan. I played for a while, but it's been a loooong time and I miss it. I love movies and music. I like politics and debating (although my husband calls it arguing ;) )

If I can think of anything else interesting about myself, I'll post it, but that's really all there is. Maybe if anyone else knows any interesting tidbits about me that they feel I should share which I haven't, post a comment about it. If it's not too embarrassing I'll approve the comment even!

Take care all!

My Interests


Countdown by Zoodu Myspace Layouts My basic interests are hockey, cooking, pets, my husband and daughter. I enjoy political debates (often fruitless arguments, because when it comes to politics you can't really change someone's mind), and reading when I get the time. I try to be socially and environmentally conscience as I can. I figure if we don't start taking care of each other and our planet, my grandkids won't have a planet to enjoy.

Music:

ANYTHING but country.

If you look through my music player you'll see a decent selection of some of the music I like. I tend to go through phases.

O.A.R., DMB, Ben Folds Five, Jack Johnson, Ella Fitzgerald, Beach Boys, Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack, Violent Femmes, Guster, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Bogmen. Honestly, I will listen to anything BUT country. My dad used to DJ, so I have too broad of a spectrum of music to list it all here. I'm not a huge fan of metal or gansta rap, but I'll listen to anything and not complain as long as it's NOT COUNTRY!

This is currently my FAVORITE song...I could listen to this on repeat for hours. Dave is just awesome and this is a great song. It was made to be covered. (It's not a great video...the "good copy" had embedding disabled, but you can still get the feel for the music with this one...Dave is just that good!)

Movies:

Grosse Point Blank (anything John Cusak), Animal House, Mystery Alaska, Sleepless in Seattle, the Indiana Jones movies, Desperado, El Mariachi, From Dusk Till Dawn, Payback, The Big Chill, Beautiful Girls, High Fidelity, Caddyshack, The Thin Man Movies, Saving Private Ryan, Blues Brothers, Chasing Amy, The Full Monty, Resevoir Dogs, Gods and Monsters, The Princess Bride, Leaving Las Vegas, October Sky, Singing in the Rain, Minority Report, Stranger than Fiction, Oceans 11 and 12, Hamlet (with Mel Gibson), French Kiss, Apollo 13, Good Will Hunting, Clerks, Cast Away, Life as a House, Arsenic and Old Lace, Lord of the Rings movies, The Village, American Pie, Chicago, Before Sunrise, Billy Elliot, Raising Helen, Sweet Home Alabama, Serendipity, Harry Potter movies, Closer, Shopgirl, Fools Rush In, S.W.A.T. (It has Colin Ferrel, WHEW!) Kung Fu Hustle, Interview with a Vampire, Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, White Christmas...again, too many to name

Television:


Deadliest Catch, Nip/Tuck, Dirty Jobs, ER, Mythbusters, Food Network, Daily Show, Politically Incorrect with Bill Mahr, Of course there's always Dora, Oswald, Oobie, and Little Bear as our all time favorite.

Books:

Losing Julia, Confederacy of Dunces, Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe Novels, Shakespeare,and yes, I've read the Harry Potter books. I don't have time for much reading now unless it's Goodnight Gorilla, Eyes-Nose-Fingers-Toes, or another toddler book for Allison before bedtime.

Heroes:

Anyone who risks their lives to take care of or save another.
