Looking up into outer space

About Me

I'm married to the most amazing man I've ever met.
We have a feisty cat named Charlie and a crazy pup named Toby. Spring and Autumn are my favorite seasons... Perhaps that's because I like middle ground - neither one extreme nor the other. But I'm not lukewarm. Some people would say I'm indecisive - it's not that I can't make up my mind, it's really just that I usually am happy either way. I love clouds and have actually been brought to tears by how beautiful they can be. I love laughing so hard that my stomach aches and I drool a bit. It makes me very happy when my friends let me take pictures of them doing ridiculous things. I prefer to be a helper rather than a leader. I love all kinds of animals, and I miss my beloved dog Spike. I love to paint and draw but sadly lack the talent to do either very well. I have the best family EVER. I'm still learning about myself and am always open to hearing out new perspectives.

My Interests

I love being around my friends - and I especially miss my lovies from back home.
Listening to music is one of my basic physical needs. Dancing. Singing. Watching movies. Reading. Painting. Wasting time on the internet. Coloring with crayons. Taking pictures. Sleeping. Bowling (even though I suck at it!) Volleyball. Writing. I looooove taking walks - especially by a lake/pond to feed the birdies.

I'd like to meet:

You! As long as you're not fake. Don't be who you think I want you to be.. Just be yourself and we'll get along fine. :o)

Music:

--- So proud of my amazingly talented boyfriend fiance husband! (Click the photo to go to their website!)

I like the kind of music that makes me want to sing and/or dance.

Movies:

I like movies that make me laugh and/or cry and/or swoon and/or guess and/or jump.
A few favourites: Moulin Rouge, Amelie, The Sandlot, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Wedding Singer, Love Actually, The Matrix, LOTR series, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and pretty much anything with Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Jim Carey, and Chris Farley.

Television:

I like to watch nature documentaries (Planet Earth, Animal Park), cooking shows (Master Chef, Ready Steady Cook), property shows (To Buy or Not to Buy, Homes Under the Hammer), and serial dramas (Grey's Anatomy, 24), and my reality tv favourite is Big Brother.

Books:

I like books that are so good I don't want to put them down.
Some all-time favourites are The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, The Last Sineater, The Time Traveler's Wife, The Lovely Bones, The Kite Runner, Memoirs of a Geisha, My Sister's Keeper, Angels & Demons, Plain Truth, In Her Shoes..

Heroes:

My parents - the most incredible model of a husband-wife team.
My brother - a wonderfully free spirit with a tender heart.
My husband - he is my everything.

Of all the commandments, which is the most important? Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.

This is how much I love my dog: I made a mess for him. On purpose.  (I don't do messes.) See, he was chewing on the sides of his little doggie bed.  So, I took it away (leaving the pillows) ...

The big surprise

At our wedding reception, Ush surprised me by arranging for Riyad to play 'our song' as the first song of the night so that we could dance to it!  (This was a wonderful surprise to me, because I ...

Appalling lack of compassion

I'm not a confrontational person by any means.  I don't like to argue, debate, stir up conflict, etc. There are only a few situations that incite rage within me, where I want to scream all of the...

Not so scary after all

We took Charlie to the vet today.  I think we were more nervous about it than he was.  We wanted to get his claws clipped a bit... figuring they were too long when they were getting stuck in...
