Being with my family, my husband of 8 years and our kids. Having my friends and family over and just hanging out and playing games and telling stories about when we were growing up. Camping with my family. Playing guitar and singing with my sister. Just singing and listening to music in gereral. We are big Star Wars, and The Lord Of The Rings fans. I would love to go back to work when my youngest starts school.
John Mayer! He is the most amazing musician out there. He keeps himself grounded, still a "normal guy" Who just happens to be a musical genius. I think it would just be amazing to sit with him and talk about his music, influences and what music he grew up with. It would be interesting to see what he is like in person and how funny he is. I will follow his music where ever he takes it. He never stops amazing me. Ellen Degeneres, funniest and coolest person on the planet. Oprah, she has the power to change the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jLSUSqH55Q&eurl=
My sister Jenn's band "Sister Gin" out of Minneapolis, MN. I hate it when I hear crap on the radio, her CD should be on the radio and someday it will. She taught me the basics on the guitar and got me loving it when I was around 14. She is a true musician, actually writes and sings her own music in addition to some awsome covers. Mr. John Mayer aka Musical Genius. I will be listening to him and going to see him as long as he is touring. I like Maroon Five, Matchbox Twenty, KT Tunstall, the Fray and many other real artists. Indigo Girls also gave me the guitar and singing bug. Bonnie Rait, she is the best slide guitar player around. Grew up with Journey, Styx, The Police, Sting, Fleetwood Mac, The Judds, The Violent Femmes, Everly Brothers, Eric Clapton, Juice Newton, and so many my parents listened to that I can not even remember.
Lord of the Rings is our personal favorite. Grew up with Star Wars, Princess Bride, Goonies and the eighties classics
I love survivor. Extreme home makeover. VH1. I hate to admit I watch some soaps now and then.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Harry Potter. Childrens books for my boys.
