Bal-Gal....oh yeah!

About Me

Swing dancing addict. Shy & quiet until you get to know me...then look out...my warped sense of humor will begin to emerge. Amateur psychologist to all my friends who seem to think I have a great listening ear. Married to my best friend & the love of my life, Corey. Living in Nashville where I have spent all of my life. Trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Any ideas? Let me know.

My Interests

Does sex count? Just kidding!!! Swing dancing, hiking, dogs (especially labs), game nites with friends, movies, jazzercise, wine tastings with my girlfriends aka tipsy Tuesdays, wino Wednesdays & thirsty Thursdays (not all in the same week of course), dinner & good conversation with friends, auto body restoration with my husband's car projects, classic car shows.

I'd like to meet:

Other swing dancing addicts like myself. Dog lovers. Really, I like meeting all kinds of people....except mental cases.

Music:

Classic swing....Louis Jordan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Lionel Hampton, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, etc....you know the list. Sting, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Black Crows, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Elvis, Maroon 5, Stone Temple Pilots, Ray Charles, classic Dean Martin, U2, Black Eyed Peas...a little bit of everything.

Movies:

Little Miss Sunshine, Ray, Office Space, Something's Gotta Give, Ocean's Eleven, Shawshank Redemption, Moonstruck, classic films such as Roman Holiday, The Long, Hot Summer (with a very sexy young Paul Newman), In Harm's Way and a sucker for old Christmas movies like White Christmas, Holiday Inn, Christmas in Conneticutt, It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story.

Television:

What Not to Wear, Lost, Medium, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Amazing Race, Overhaulin', Rescue Me, Animal Planet, HGTV.

Books:

Unfortunatley, I don't have much time to read. But hopefully, I will become independently wealthy in the near future and will be able to add more to this section later on.

Heroes:

Personally, my gal pal, Linna, who recently died from cancer. In the dance world....Nick Williams, David Rehm, Bobby White & Kate Hedin, Marty & Jen Lau, Marty Klempnor & Valerie Salstrom.
