About Me


I am a contridiction. I drive a big car but recycle. I am vain but don't wear make-up. I love to help people but am protective of my things.I am your regular Plain Jane, girl next door but I clean up good. I wear what I like no matter what other people think (plaid capris, Mandy? LOL). I like nice things but they don't make for happiness. Some people say I'm spoiled, maybe I am but I work hard and don't expect things to be handed to me. I love Jay, being a mom, watching Jay play soccer, SOME of my family, the beach, my friends, my house, my soft bed, shoes/boots (I have about 50 pairs), purses (have about 10-12, it's a new love), jeans, pink, shopping- for anything and anyone, babies, my cell phone, food, cooking, reading, travelilng, snow when I can leave it, coffee, showers, dessert, food in general, my eyes, my metabolism, boating, A/C, Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner and our dogs and cats.I could live without POLLEN, sweating, running, red meat, more than 2 weeks of cold weather, high heels (I wear them at times), mud, bugs (I know some are good), heights, dirty hands, curtains, big belts, gaudy jewelry, hairspray, cold feet, racism, selfish people, big cars that guzzle premium gas (even though I drive one), liars, cheats, theives, car repair places who try to rip me off or fix things half way.We're working on our house. I love being a home owner but it's a little weird too. I have lived in my house 4 years and it's the longest I have lived anywhere! We moved a lot when I was a child- Dallas; Columbia; Fripp Island; Summerville; Elizabeth City and Rocky Mount, NC; Virginia Beach; Anderson. Moved back and forth to Columbia a lot and consider it home. Luckily my son hasn't moved as much.Ok guys! It's official! I've been saying I'm a dork for ages and now I have proof!
Am I cool or uncool? [CLICK] You are a Square !
You are a total dork. The pocket protecter and thick-lensed glasses give it away. Try watching some popular TV.. Get yourself some fashion sense already! On the plus side, no wait hang on, there is no plus side! Nerdsville, population YOU!

You are The Chariot

Triumph, Victory, Overcoming Obstacles.

The chariot is one of the most complex cards to define. On its most basic level, it implies war, a struggle, and an eventual, hard-won victory. Either over enemies, obstacles, nature, the beasts inside you, or to just get what you want. But there is a great deal more to it. The charioteer wears emblems of the sun, yet the sign behind this card is the moon. The chariot is all about motion, and yet it is often shown as stationary. It is a union of opposites, like the black and white steeds. They pull in different directions, but must be (and can be!) made to go together in one direction. Control is required over opposing emotions, wants, needs, people, circumstances; bring them together and give them a single direction, your direction. Confidence is also needed and, most especially, motivation. The card can, in fact, indicate new motivation or inspiration, which gets a stagnant situation moving again.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

The definition of commitment is doing the things you said you were going to do long after the feeling in which you said has left you and the definition of responsibility is doing the things you MUST do even when you don't feel like it.

I'd like to meet:

Malcolm X, James McBride the author of The Color of Water, my great grandchildren, DaVinci, Einstein, Jim Morrison, George W so I can tell him what an idiot he is, Sen. John McCain so I can apologize to him about losing the primary to such an idiot, all the scary skinny girls so I can tell them to eat a cheeseburger (men like women with curves, who can down a bacon cheeseburger and not blink!), Angelina Jolie and Mother Teresa...

Music:

Pretty much anything... I was raised with beach music, Sinatra and country so I rebeled by LOVING rap but now I listen to just about all of it. I love old school rap that has a point. Public Enemy is one of the best rap groups ever. I like gangsta rap too. Sorry about the Tupac mom but at least you kept up with the East Coast West Coast drama. You know Cube is hot! LOL Even country thanks to Christine! Took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights! LOL I love that song!

Movies:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-well pretty much anything with Johnny Depp, Gone with the Wind, vampire movies (I'm a weirdo and find Queen of the Damned really erotic), Fight Club, Devil's Advocate, Jay and Bob Strike Back, Dude! Where's My Car?, Steven King movies...

Television:

Dr. Troy is a prostitute?! I love FX. Dirt is awesome. Disney Channel shows are my new guilty pleasure!

Heroes:

I have a save the world complex... So my heroes are the people who make our world safe and are under paid- cops, soldiers, paramedics, firemen and the people who make us who we are- teachers, parents, mentors, volunteers in general.
People Envy Your Compassion
You have a kind heart and an unusual empathy for all living creatures. You tend to absorb others' happiness and pain.
People envy your compassion, and more importantly, the connections it helps you build. And compassionate as you are, you feel for them. What Do People Envy About You?
