About Me

Passion. I'm all about the passion. People without it are boring. Passion of all sorts. I don't understand how some people can not be passionate about SOMETHING. For me, my biggest passion is music. I would love to be a roadie for a band, I would love to be a musician, a writer, or a singer. I feel like I discover new passions on a daily basis. I love reading. Books that take place in another time and another land are particularly fascinating. I love learning about how things were, and understanding how profoundly we've changed as human beings. Or haven't changed. I hope my kids grow up to be passionate about something. I care a lot about family. I believe that your family should always have your back no matter what. Families that don't help each other are bound to become distant. I think I wear my heart on my sleeve, or so I've been told. I'm very likely to tell someone how I feel even if it's weird. I think I've weirded a few people out over the years with my frankness!

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Music:

I have very eclectic taste in music. One minute I'm listening to The White Stripes, the next, Roy Orbison. I love classical, soul, blues, (I would love to someday own a blues lounge!!) rock, indie rock, oldies, etc. I'm not a huge fan of R&B or hip-hop. I pretty much avoid popular radio stations. I can smell an over-produced song a mile away. Some bands I currently love: The White Stripes (my fave), Tegan and Sara, Keane, Ok Go, Belle and Sebastian, Sufjan (soofyawn) Stevens, Muse, the list goes on and on.

Movies:

Chocolat, Gone With The Wind, Return To Me, Enchanted or any old Disney fairytale, Office Space, Donnie Darko, The Phantom Of The Opera, Joe Vs. The Volcano or any old Tom Hanks movie, Labyrinth. (Hey, David Bowie was HOT in that movie, at least I thought so at the time...)

Television:

Sex and the City, Arrested Development, Big Love, Scrubs, Extras, Lost (thanks Katie!) Food Network, The Travel Channel, Days of our Lives!

Books:


.. ..

The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Grapes of Wrath, Good In Bed, To Kill A Mockingbird, anything by Philippa Gregory.
Your Dosha is Pitta
.. You have a quick mind, a gift for persuasion, and a sharp sense of humor.
You have both the drive and people skills to be a very successful leader.
Argumentative and a bit stubborn, you have been known to be a little too set in your ways.
But while you may be biased toward your own point of view, you are always honest, fair, and ethical.

With friends: You are outgoing and open to anyone who might want to talk to you

In love: You are picky but passionate

To achieve more balance: Be less judgmental of those around you, and take cool walks in the moonlight. What's Your Dosha?

Heroes:

Joe, my husbad! He is amazing! Dr. Singh, Dr. Overman, and Dr. Moga...Words can't express my gratitude. And of course Jack White, the guitar god. Oh yeah, and Mary Poppins! She was "Practically Perfect in Every Way!"
You Are a Red Flower
.. A red flower tends to represent power, seduction, and desire.
At times, you are loving like a red tulip.
And at other times, you're very enthusiastic, like a bouvardia.
And more than you wish, your passion is a bit overwhelming, like a red rose. What Color Flower Are You? ..

What Greek Goddess are you?
..
..
You are Athena!
Born from the head of Zeus himself, this goddess is the most respected and capable of all the goddesses. Like this goddess of defensive warfare, crafts and wisdom, you are courageous as a warrior, cunning as a fox, and wise beyond your years. You do not try to be a leader, but you are one merely because you have the raw material that renders admiration and followers. Though you may not know it...you have the world at your feet. But since you are wise, you will not allow this newfound knowledge to go to your head.
How do you compare?

The Upside Of Being A Mom

A few days ago I watched Across The Universe which of course has all Beatles music and references.  So it inspired me to break out my Beatles albums that I haven't listened to in a long time.&nbs...

I Can’t Believe This!

I honestly can’t believe how stupid some people will act, and then say they were waiting for God’s help!  I just read an article in the Pioneer Press about a little girl who died unex...

Great New Stuff!

On our wonderful, fun filled trip out east, Joe and I picked up a new album by a band called She & Him.  I have to say that it’s my new favorite.  The band consists of Zooey Descha...

Juno. You should see it if you haven’t already.

Juno is a great movie!  The acting is so good, I almost forgot the main character wasn't REALLY pregnant!  And at certain times, I thought the girl was seeming too mature, but then she would...
