About Me

I Did My Own Layout
I am a 28 year old wife and mother. My hubby and I were married almost 7 years ago; just after 6 months of dating! We have an amazing daughter, born in 2002, and a miraculous son, born in 2005, together! For security purposes, all photos and videos with my children are in "friends only" folders/blogs, so if you know me be sure to add request me to gain access.
The beginning of 2007 I was diagnosed with a long term/possible terminal illness that I have apparently had for awhile. November 2, 2007 I started a very aggressive treatment therapy that is expected to last until the end of September, 2008 and make me very ill. I am already in remission but have to finish treatment to ensure it doesn't come back.
Though I have lived a very challenging life, and I still do have my moments of despair (I am human), I try to be a positive person for others. I try to bring color and smiles to those who come across me, cuz let's face it- there's enough people who will do just the opposite. If I ever accomplish anything, I want to leave this world a better place than what is was before I entered it. I've overcome alot and have much inspiration and wisdom to offer others going through troublesome times.
I have also just begun spending my free-time (when I'm not so sick from treatment) helping others with the same illness I have the same way others with the illness have helped me! Support really helps in getting through this! Want to know anymore, just ask!

~If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you had set it free....... You either married it or gave birth to it ~Source Unknown

My Interests



♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I think for those who know me, my more obvious interests that I have are music and writing. I am a four time published poet and a musician of various instruments totaling about 7. I use to participate in band, orchestra, theater, and choir.

My favorite sport to play is basketball (I hate being a spectator, but I love to play the game!) My next favorite sport is volleyball. I also enjoy camping, kayaking, horseback riding, swimming, and traveling.

My all time favorite place to be is the beach. Not only is it beautiful and relaxing, but there are so many fun things to do there!

I am an artistic person by nature. I don't just limit the term to pictures, photography, paintings, and sculptures but also broaden my thinking to include performing arts and music, nature, the written word, and of abstract thinking/thoughts. Though I do not have talents in all aspects of this area, I do have a great wide-sense appreciation.

My all time favorite thing in the world is being a mother. Yes, it is alot of work -and I mean ALOT. But, I haven't experienced anything as rewarding and fullfilling as being a mother.

I'd like to meet:

HMM, I'd like to meet some brilliant fantastic people who want to be nothing more than just my friend! (I'm married -check the lil box at the bottom!!!) Can't ever have too many friends!

Sorry though, if I don't know you or you haven't at least talked or messaged with me, I won't add you as a friend. Only people, bands, and friends I know or at least converse with in some form or another make it on my friend's list. Don't take it personal. If you want to be on my friend's list than send me a message to "talk" to me. Keep in mind, I won't tolerate being hit on or flirted with so don't bother -I'm married and that means something to this gal! But I will be your friend if I find you interesting enough to be so!

However, if you are a band of which I don't know personally and I really dig your stuff, I will add you to my favorites and keep checking ya out from time to time!

Music:

I have probably the most diverse music taste of anyone I know. I enjoy R&B, rap, contemporary, pop, classical, opera, country, alternative, rock, oldies, 80's rock, grunge, regae, Latin, Christian. And now thanks to my husband's constant choice of music, I now enjoy hard rock and some metal (believe me, that was much to my surprise.) I'm sure I missed a few. Just about the only music I can think of that I don't like is polka, trance, and techno!

My musical weakness: I'm a sucker for a good love song or monster ballad!

Interests

Movies:

Favorite movies off the top of my head; hmmm. Underworld, Vanhelsing, Troy, The Lord of the Rings series, Gothika, The Wedding Date, Without a Paddle, Ghost, Catch and Release, Pearl Harbor, Hide and Seek, The Matrix series, The X-Men series, Electra, The Gladiator, Dances with Wolves, Flatliners, The Last Samuri. The oldest movies I can think of that I use to like a LONG, LONG time ago was RAD and the Flight of the Navigator, just for giggles.

Television:

I don't watch much TV so no favorites here! I'm more apt to watch a movie if I want to watch something. Though I've started to like Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and House, and Law & Order SVU when I catch them on TV. Basically I tend to like shows that are unpredictable that have unexpected twists. I like to be surprised!

Books:

I only read to broaden my horizons/learn something useful. I'm a mother of small children so I don't get much time to read -so again no favorites here! Although since I'm a writer I've realized I need to read more to observe different/new writing styles and improve my work! There's always room for improvement in everything ya do!!!I think there should be a section here for favorite video games too. Anyone agree?

Heroes:

I don't believe in heroes. Everyone is human and prone to error, so I truly believe no one is better than anyone else. We're all different and have our own mark to make on this world. We all have strengths and weaknesses, who am I to judge and raise someone up on a pedestal and make an idol/hero out of? Ah, but that's all so serious! Just here to have fun people!
