About Me

WELL... after High School (1981), I went to college... in one door, out the other... went right to work with a traveling rock band in Spokane Washington. Worked with them for a few years, married a guy from Wallace Idaho in 1984. Have two daughters... I was a stay at home mom for the first 12 years or so, and started working after the girls were both in school full time... MOSTLY to get out of the house. The last 8 years I worked in an accounting firm started working a little radio gig on the side in October of 2005. I recently gave up stability for a huge gig on the air. it started with a morning show partnership with a major veteran jock, then they offered me the news department... how cool is that for a little girl from the coulee. I sang in the colgate country showdown a few times, won state... left it at that. now, I'm on the radio. I LOVE musical theater.. I've played AMAHL in amahl and the night visitors (christmas opera), Sister Robert Anne in NUNSENSE, Laurie in OKLAHOMA, Aldonza/Dulcinea in MAN OF LA MANCHA... no time now to do theater. OK... well... so now new news... I've begun yet another new gig... I've left the stability of my great radio job... and my marriage of 24 years... nothing bad, we just grew in oppisite directions... not that we hate each other, just movin on. My girls are grown and gone, now it's my turn. so keep in touch...

My Interests

family, music, books on tape, music theater... sleep

I'd like to meet:

not sure if there is anyone that I haven't met, that I would still need to meet in order to round out my life... but there's always room for jello...

Movies:

Audrey Rose, Gypsy Rose Lee, My fair Lady, any thing with Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire, mostly sappy musical love stories

Television:

comedies, anything that has a happy ending in a half an hour, I have a short attention span....OH LOOK, A CHICKEN!

Books:

don't have alot of time to read, so I've begun to collect books on tape...I have 40 minutes every day of commute to listen, rather than listen to the radio, which is rather sad, my part time fun job is on air at the local rock station.

Heroes:

don't know if hero is an appropriate title in any case, but people like Rosa Park is to me the reason this country is as wonderful as it truly is.

My Blog

Life in general
