I love to laugh and don't do it enough...music of all sorts, food...lots of food...all types of food...I should eat better & try to occassionally but I've got an insatiable sweet tooth much to my diet's dismay, reading, learning from my mistakes, looking for a reason to hang out & socialize, and the occasional work out...
