I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Married mother of 4, I live in Enid, Oklahoma. I am a paralegal that wants to go back to school but I don't know what for anymore. I love reading, though I don't have a lot of time for it. I also love to watch movies cuddled up with my husband, Marty, on the loveseat. My kids and family are all awesome and very supportive. I have great friends and can honestly say I am pretty happy with life in general.
On the side, I have a paranormal investigation team that researches and investigates haunted places and I am currently working on a book with my friend, Tonya, about haunted locations in Oklahoma. Tonya and I are also known as the Ghost Divas. We continually look for ways to make what we do interesting, entertaining, and accessible to the public. We both conduct tours of historical and/or haunted places.
I have more ideas than I know what to do with.

My Interests


Movies, books, road trips, history, friends, music, planning things, creating, writing, flappers, anything spooky, midieval history, Halloween, the 60's, Patchouli, forests, cottages in the woods...

Which VW Are You?

I'd like to meet:


John Lennon & Paul McCartney for tea some afternoon in Central Park.
What kind of 'witch' are you?
You are an earth witch. You have a bit of each of the other elements in you, but still stay your solid self. You are loyal, giving, and trustworthy which unfortunately may cause people to take advantage of you at times. You draw your power from the earth around you and have great respect for Gaia/the mother, and as the earth, you too are beautiful and can make a wonderful mother.

"I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn burn burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" (Jack Kerouac, 'On the road')

Music:


I love all kinds of music. I love red dirt, bluegrass, ragtime vintage jazz, blues, folk, everything! My rapper friend, Infamous, said, "If you don't like all music, you don't like music at all" and I think that's true. Of course what qualifies as "music" is another story.
I love John Lennon and the Beatles, Ella Fitzgerald, James Taylor, Carole King, Mike McClure Band, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, Johnny Cooper, Chad Sullins, Charlie Robison, Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, the Dedringers, Datri Bean, Tall Cotton, Violent Femmes, the Eagles, Tracy Chapman, Tom Waits, and a million more. One of my all time favorites is Michael Hedges - an absolutely brilliant guitarist. He was a dear friend of my dad's (and from Enid, OK) and he won a Grammy in 1998. He was killed in a car wreck way too early in his life - watch and be amazed...

Movies:


Too many! Beautiful Girls, Goonies, Top Gun, Stand By Me, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Breakfast Club, Bridges of Madison County, Poltergeist 1 & 2, Halloween (the first one), American Beauty, Chantilly Lace, Moonlight & Valentino, The Village, Turn of the Screw, American Gothic, Devil's Advocate, Time to Kill, Sahara, National Treasure, Shawshank Redemption, To Kill a Mockingbird, Fahrenheit 451, Like Water for Chocolate, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Alice's Restaurant, Arsenic & Old Lace, Grease, Ghost Story, The Others, Jeepers Creepers, The Shining, The Birds, Secondhand Lions, Big Fish, Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, Eulogy, Search for the Holy Grail, Skeleton Key and anything with the divine Mr. Spacey. There are too many to list them all!

Television:

Law & Order, CSI, Boston Legal (I live this - seriously), My Name is Earl, The Vicar of Dibley, American Gothic, Austin Stories, ER, Seinfeld, Friends, What Not to Wear, historical documentaries and shows about haunted places.

Books:



The Red Tent, To Kill a Mockingbird, Tami Hoag, Janet Evanovich, Kay Hooper, Patricia Cornwell, Steve Martini, John Grisham, Lord of the Flies, Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood, Practical Magic, Here on Earth, On the Road, Flowers for Algernon, The Diary of Anne Frank, I know there are many many more, but these are the ones that came to mind...

Heroes:


My daughter, Madison because she goes through so much every day and never gives up. My husband because he works so hard to take care of us. Jodie because she has been through some SHIT and she turned out to be a great person. I guess it really did build character. My former boss, because he's forgoteen more than I'll ever know and he's damn funny.

Why do teachers lie to kids?

Do you remember in math class, at the end of every chapter there was that whole page of story problems and there were always a couple on the tests? Yeah, well, I always skipped those because I have ne...

Randomness

First of all, let me just say that hickies are not badges of honor. They are trashy and gross. I was sitting in the hallway at the courthouse the other day and there were a shitload of people there fo...

If you can afford to smoke, you can afford to eat.

I'm sorry, but if you are going to the soup kitchen to eat, don't you think it's even a tiny bit ironic that you are pulling out a pack of smokes as you walk to the door? Cigarettes are what, $4 a pac...

Who the fuck do the Enid Public Schools think they are, anyway?

OH MY GOD. I just called the school to see if they would please send my daughter's homework home with her sister today because she was out sick. The lady that answered the phone (which was not the reg...

Speaking of hookers...

I guess I haven't really blogged in a long time. When it gets close to this Scare on the Square business, I tend to get overwhlemed with that and don't feel like I can focus on anything until that's o...
