My Shortie!

About Me

I'm addicted to crack. Nothing surprises me about people. All in all, I usually get along with everyone. And have a lot a fun. I am married, and I have to say my husband and I are best friends and soul mates - kinda sappy huh? Ha-ha. Another thing about me....I give way too much attention to my puppy who is "my baby". He is a pug - his given name is Bogie (Bogart), but since I have had him (Aug 04) I started calling him "Little Jack LaLane" - what can I say the little guy has staying power. I also call him "Big Boy" and "litle Mon" (pronounced with an english accent).Our family of 4 is a lot of fun! Having a newborn is so wonderful, but really tiring! He is such a good baby though.

My Interests

Music:

music - what do I like?? I once read an article...about what makes music interesting...why do we like what we like. It said exposure to music sets up certain expectations in our heads, it said, when the brain hears, say 10 notes of a melody, it will predict the 11th note based on these stored connections. If the 11th note isn't what we expect we are jarred but often pleased. The subtle violations are the ones that particularly please.I am open to all genres of music, provided they are pleasing to me at that time, at that moment.I yearn for that atypical 11th note. The one I don't expect. The one that suits my mood.

Movies:

I love dark comedy......."Very bad Things", I love it when you feel as though you are going to hell for laughing at something...or saying something...that is my sense of humor too.

Television:

The Office, Ugly Betty, CSI (Las Vegas and Miami), and Lost - what a crazy concept. That is about all that I really look forward to watching.

Books:

I wish I had time to read. I am a bit on the obsessive compulsive side and so once I start a book - I can't do anything but finish that book. I mean work is even a struggle. So I will only read on vacation. Other than that I have read a lot of Brit Lit over the years probably 20+ books of that stuff and I have read all books by Nelson DeMille (which is way different from brit lit), I read all the books by Sidney Sheldon, and John Grissom. These are all for fun - for school I had to read countless books like Crime and Punishment, The Jungle, Sister Carrie yada yada.My next long vacation I plan to tackle the books by Dan Brown - DaVinci Code and such.

Heroes:

My littly guy TJ AND awesome husband Tony.
