My Interests

My interests are in... Wine! Drinking it, reading about it, smelling it. I know it looks pretentious, but c'mon it's so good! When I feel like exploring the great outdoors, my husband and I like to go Geocaching. Give it a try if you have a handheld GPS device. It's like Easter Egg hunting but without the eggs www.geocaching.com

I'd like to meet:


Myspace Countdowns at WishAFriend.com

Music:

Whatever doesn't offend my ears. Showtunes to Country; Classical to top 40. Lately, I've been listening to audio books so I have no idea what's on the radio.

Movies:

When Harry Met Sally, SpaceBalls, Forrest Gump, all Austin Powers movies - basically whatever allows me to escape from the world for 2 hours and isn't a downer.

Television:

The Office, The Twilight Zone, The Night Gallery, Ghost Hunters, Family Guy, Don't Forget the Lyrics, The Colbert Report, Donny Deutsche - The BIG Idea

Books:

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Simple Living. "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."

Heroes:

Heroes - People who are humble, responsible, courteous, like to laugh out loud, encouraging, courageous, optimistic, faithful. I'm happy to say that I have all of those heroes in my life. :) I also finished "Do Dead People Watch You Shower" by Concetta Bertoldi, a psychic medium. This book changed my perspective on so many things: Focusing on what REALLY matters, not being afraid of "the other side" and ensuring me that there is no such thing as 'coincidence'.

Signs from the Other Side and my White Orchids

I’m thankful that my mother would always point out things like a blooming rose bush in the garden as a "Sign from Grandma" who passed many years ago.  I didn’t understand why this was...

Thoughts on my 32nd Christmas

As my husband and I drove back from visiting with family, I couldn't help but think about how truly grateful I am for my root family and my extended family (all in-laws included).  During times o...
