About Me

Just a girl in the world trying to figure it out with the minimum of slings and arrows. I used to think I was fairly simple, but recently I was told I'm complex and I kinda like it that way. Many have tried to understand me but I think few ever will. I'm probably all of the boy scout credo with a cute pair of shoes and handbag thrown in. I try to see the beauty in the simple and the lesson in the pain. Sometimes I miss the boat all around, but I'm ok - I don't mind waiting on the next one to come by. In my spare time I'll build a dock so it won't miss me the next time.

My Interests

Photography (http://jpgmag.com/people/lanie717), music, reading, movies, shoes, purses, the moon, good wine, discussion and debate, friends, family, stargazing, cooking, travel

Yesterday was a rough day....it was one of those "with friends like these who needs enemies" days at work.  Transitions though often for the better can be bumpy and painful at times.  And......

father's day (sappy - you are warned)

Father's day (preferred) I woke today and didn't realize it was Father's day until the television mentioned it.  I try and block out certain days because I miss him.  It's been seven years...

saggy pants, snakes and driving again

I've driven around the northern portions of Alabama today - I've seen falling barns and high end golf courses, sunflowers, tomatoes and antique benzs - it's a little bit of it all.  I've seen spa...

Have you ever had one of those days?  You got up early without feeling grumpy. The coffee was perfect.  The toast was browned without burning. You get all ready...you even think you're looki...
