My Interests

I used to go into WAY too much detail here... I have a LOT of interests.

My son, daughter and husband, you guys take the cake... but wait, can I have a piece?

I'd like to meet:

Depends.

Music:

Eclectic... classical, jazz, alternative, ol' blue eyes, rock, r&b, indie, world, trance, golden oldies, some old skool... the list is VERY long. I've added 'Old MacDonald' and 'Skittamarinkidinkidoo' to my repetoire! I do really great animal sounds... maybe I'll demonstrate if you're lucky.

Movies:

Action, Adventure, Romance, Foreign and Comedies. James Bond. Lara Croft. Indiana Jones. The Saint. Princess Bride. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Anchorman. Italian Job. Just Friends. Inside Man. Only You. Firefly series. Thanks to my son, I've memorized MOST cartoon movies word-for-word too! Now I can just quote them all for my daughter.

Television:

Don't watch much TV- either read, watch DVDs, or am outside! When I do, it's either Grey's Anatomy or The Amazing Race- LOVE that show!!!

Books:

Always reading. Voracious appetite for the written word. Usually at least two books at once- one professionally, and one personal. Love to learn. Enjoy most genres, always looking for a new author and experience.

Have to admit, I love my magazines too, from Conde Nast Traveler to Cosmo to W and Shape... nothing like getting a good caramel frappacino or green tea soy latte and sitting curled up with a great book or magazine. :) Just be sure to go outside and be active too!

Here's something to read... all true... LOL... just kidding, most of it's crap, but fun to take.
What Pattern Are You?
Super!! You are WILLEM DE KOONING. You think just like you paint: in the abstract. You
live well outside of the box and never know
where life will take you next. Your friends
admire your ability to fearlessly veer away
from the boundaries of society.

Heroes:

Those who stand up for what they believe in, even in the face of adversity. My children. My husband. My friends.

My New Years' Wishes...
