About Me

I'm a Mom, a writer, a practical dreamer, a skeptic, an advocate (Autism Awareness, Breast Cancer Awareness), a hopefull (versus hopeless) romantic, an occasional workaholic and a creative, free spirit.

I love my son, my cat, my family, Peanut Butter M&Ms, Raymond Carver and Mary Chapin Carpenter, all in that order.

Oh wait! I forgot to add Bob Dylan...put him somewhere between Ray and Mary.

My Interests

I'm interested in everything.

I'd like to meet:

I'm a chatterbox. If you like what you read here, or in my blogs, tell me what. New friends always welcome, but if you add me, send me an email with the request so I know who you are and how you found me.

Music:

Country, Classical Rock and Roll and Easy Listening.

Movies:

Sci-fi and fantasy, Comedy, those Dramedy things labeled 'heartwarming and funny.'

Television:

My Tivo diligently records all things sci-fi and fantasy, plus Scrubs, E/R, Ugly Betty and M*A*S*H.

.. .. ..

Books:

Anything--and everything--that catches my eye at Borders or the local library.

Heroes:

My son. He is my inspiration, my perspiration, my spirit, and the best and most important part of my life.
