My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A few hundred years worth of my ancestors...I'd love to check out the 'Gene Pool' to see who's at fault.

Music:

Whatever tickles my fancy...

Movies:

One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest..Love Actually..Crash..Planes, Trains and Automobiles..Something About Mary, The Wedding Crashers. Dan and I go to the movies quite often and the list would be never ending.

Television:

Greys Anatomy..House (can open my own medical practice soon, I know all there is to know)..Boston Legal..My Name is Earl..The Office..America's Funniest Home Vidios (loud out of control laughter)

Books:

I've read so many and have loved so many, but I think my all time favourite was 'The Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett

Heroes:

I had to think about this one for a while and after some pondering I would have to say my kids, for putting up with me while they were growing up...and for turning into wonderful adults... My daughter for being the gutsy broad that she is and my son for making it to where he's at with all the struggles he faced growing up. Also people that are able to make everyone they come in contact with feel like a million bucks...yup, they would be my heroes too.

My Blog

Booohooo.....

There's a new kid on the block called 'Facebook'...It looks like everybody is jumping the 'Myspace' ship and heading over there.  This place is starting to feel like a ghost town.

What is getting under our skin so.....

Just a Thought

I have come to the conclusion that being successful in life is not what matters...being significant is what matters.

The difference between me and a squirrel......O.K. I'm giving it up here, lately I've been leading  incredibly boring days...business is slow and money is low, house is clean garden is being negl...
