This is birthday season in my family: Michael, Grandma, Me, Jesus, and Mallory all in December!

About Me

busy, busy Mom... husband, 4 kids, and PTA stuff. Since high school(10 year reunion passed recently), I have been a volunteer firefighter in both Magnolia and Porter, Texas. I was a Pharmacy Tech for a while. Got married in '98, have had four kids. We have moved from Texas to Massachusetts, Grenada, St. Vincent, New Jersey, and are currently in New York. Brooklyn Baby! I love good ole BKLYN, but sadly we will leave here too. July 2007 we are off to somewhere new...only time will tell, until then we enjoy our lives here. My two favorite places to live are New York and the West Indies. I enjoy the mix of cultures and foods. The concrete jungle of New York is like none other, it can't be duplicated. The islands of Grenada, Bequia, St. Vincent, Barbados, Canouan and all of the other little islands nearby are beautiful; rainforests, oceans that are so blue, coral reefs, beaches, tropical fruits, fresh fish, I miss it and can't wait to go back for a visit.Happy Anniversary to us Novemer 21......eight years already

My Interests

Going to the Park, chilling with the kids, spending quiet time with my husband, Indian food, Coney Island; Brooklyn Botanical Garden - the Japanese Cherry Trees, and Magnolias in the spring are beautiful, the Peonies just in time for Mothers day, and the rose garden in the summer, this is my oasis. I love to bake, I volunteer when possible. I just love living. Oh yes, I love coffee and food. I love consumption and creation. Westerhall Plantation rum is another great thing for consuming. My favorite local joint for coffee - Lonelyville Coffee It is great, it is cute, I can't get enough (if only it were free) and my fav wherever coffee joint, Starbuck's (it's everywhere!!!) I like to do my own baking if I have time, and I love to be different than everyone else, we leave NY to eat in NJ (well, not really, but we will always go past our old time favorite...Jose Tejas, good Tex Mex, yes Tex Mex in NY)

Music:

My buddy Miz Rock gets first mention now, songs are always in my head, have you checked him out yet? www.myspace.com/mizrockmusic Creed, Collective Soul, The Dirty Sock Funtime Band (my kids' favorite), Calypso and Reggae, Toby Keith, pretty much anything goes. Hard Rock, Alternative, Hip Hop, Country, I love it all. I usually listen to all of the current hits and mix it up with some old school.

Movies:

Gone With the Wind, Dirty Dancing, Willy Wonka, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Napoleon Dynamite,


Myspace Codes: MyNiceSpace.com

Under the Tuscan Sun, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Ring, movies that make you love life, movies that make you happy, movies that make you laugh, and movies that make you cry.

Television:

Scrubs, Lost (can't get enough of this one), Good Eats (yes, I am a foodie and a geek), Futurama, Family Guy, South Park (not the best, but a guilty pleasure...makes me laugh, my mom definately wouldn't approve =) definately not one for the kiddies)

Books:

The Chronicles of Narnia, Gods and Generals, Gone With The Wind, James and the Giant Peach (I loved it as a kid), Cookbooks (yes, I actually read them for pleasure), I hate to admit it, but I don't get to read enough, but i can usually fit in some magazines. With 4 kids, and crazy busy days, I just want to let my mind erode infront of the tube at the end of a long day......no thinking necessary.

Heroes:

My baby sister, she is living life to the fullest (most of the time, just gotta do something about that job.) My Husband, he puts up with nonsense, fixes broken people and still has time to love me. Those who have sacrificed their lives defending us, and those who continue to fight for our freedoms. Randy, not only is he a cool cousin, but he willingly went to fight the bad guys. Go Randy! Those who stand up for children and protect them. First responders (firefighters, police, and EMS). Voters. Teachers. Those who fight for what is right. Those who fix what is wrong. Oh, yeah, doctors are pretty cool too. Daddy and Maddy =)
