About Me

Things I value in my life: My family - my new husband, Jon; my incredibly generous and loving parents; my sister (and best friend) Kelly; my niece, Campbell; all my aunts, uncles and cousins in Vermont (and Colorado); all of my friends, golf, swimming, good jokes, laughing until my stomach aches, a good cry, salt on my skin, that rare quiet time with my girls, the beach, a perfect mojito, sand, holding hands, the sounds of nature in Florida, a good book, the unconditional love of dogs, duct tape, my iPod, conversations with my elders who have endless stories to tell and seemingly endless time to tell them, Florida winters, Vermont summers, spanish moss, cobblestone streets, sunshine on a cold day, movies with perfect soundtracks, dancing...

My Interests

Watching my boys win championships!! Here are some pics from this year's Final Four:

Football (preferrably Gators or Pats), fishing, kayaking (anything involving H2O), golf. I love traveling. I've made my rounds, but I know I've barely scratched the surface. Traveled England, Spain, France, Italy, Czech Republic, and Austria in Europe. I've spent a lot more time in The Bahamas, The Keys, Vermont and most of the Northeast Kingdom, Boston, Vegas and NYC. In the last year, I've seen Vancouver, North Carolina, Arizona and Colorado. Plenty more to see, but for now, life is good.

And now, for some serious stuff...

..

Please take a look at this website. www.SmileTrain.org It is one of the most impressive charities I've seen. Zero overhead, etc. They've performed nearly a quarter of a million surgeries in the past decade totally free of charge from donations alone.

I don't have a lot to give, but I manage to give $25 a month to the smile train. I hardly miss it, but I figure I can change a child's life every year. Totally worth it. If you don't give to this cause, find one that you are passionate about.

Thanks for your support.

I'd like to meet:

Lance Armstrong, because he inspires me to be a better person. Robin Williams, Will Farrell, Steve Carell, Chris Rock, Chris Farley and Lewis Black because they make me laugh. Oh, and George W Bush, so I can douse him in high-priced oil and set him on fire.

Music:

Everything. I love watching live music and dig anyone with true talent.

Movies:

I'm not a huge movie buff, but I love really smart comedies (as well as a few comedy-free classics)... Office Space, Anchorman, The Jerk, Breakfast Club, Napoleon Dynamite, Swingers, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, The Usual Suspects, Ocean's Eleven, Chasing Amy, Garden State, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the list goes on...

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Gossip Girl, Heroes, Friday Night Lights, 24, House, Entourage, My Name is Earl, The Office, Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Intervention

Books:

Armadillo Armageddon by Wallace B McCall, Five Thousand Years on the Loxahatchee by James Snyder (both shameless plugs for family and friend authors), anything by Hemmingway, The DaVinci Code, any travel or fishing books, other trash/murder/sports/mystery/love/crime/self-help/sci-fi/biog raphical/auto-biographical/religious/political/poetic/histor ical/culinary/thriller/war/home and garden/literary masterpieces/anything-having-to-do-with-anything-under-the-s un books/magazines/journals/newspapers/encyclopedias.
