About Me

Austin, Xander, and Mickey are the 3 men in my life. Austin is almost 11, Xander is now 4, and my husband Mickey is 35- most of the time!We moved to Rocklin, CA in April 2006 and have built a life and a company together that we both LOVE! Right now, I am just appreciating being back in civilization- I'm a "city girl" at heart, but I am happy living in the burbs until the kids get through school. The country life that I tried to live for 11 years never suited me and I am glad to have finally escaped! :)If there is one thing I've learned in the past 10 years it would be that family comes above all else. I have a handful of close friends, who I know would stick by me no matter what, but other than that, the people in my family are the only people I would ever truly rely on. I don't have time for "revolving people", as I call them, and I have no interest in wasting time with friends who are only around for the good times and abandon each other in the times when you need someone most.

My Interests

WINE!!!! and anything the boys are involved in. I've also become quite a foodie, which is dangerous for me considering how much I love to eat.Free Myspace Graphics

I'd like to meet:

Hmmmm.....Oscar Wilde, JFK, Anthony Bourdain, Gordon Ramsay are a few that come to mind. Now that would be an interesting lunch!!!Here are some pictures of THEN & NOW- I got to reunite with some old friends recently and it was great!!!

Music:

I like all kinds of music. Elton John to Black Eyed Peas to Toby Keith, I really have a wide range of music I listen to. I even have the soundtracks for several Broadway productions, but I rarely get to listen to them as no one else in the house will tolerate them! The only kind of music I really don't like is hard-core rap. Just isn't me and I don't get it!

Movies:

Seeing as how everytime I go to the movies it costs an arm and a leg, and then some stupid person behind me pisses me off the entire time- I haven't been going to the theaters a whole lot lately. I do still take the kids when something good comes out that we don't want to wait for on video. Xander and I went to see Shrek the 3rd last weekend and it was really cute.Most of the movies I really like are DVD's that we have bought. I'm still a fan of all the 80's movies from my youth - Top Gun (that volleyball scene is awesome!), Breakfast Club, St. Elmo's Fire, Lost Boys, etc. Of course, living in this house, we watch a whole lot of Star Wars too! (the old ones and the new ones)

Television:

Around here we mostly watch shows on the Travel Channel and Food Network. Anything about wines from around the world gets DVR'd, and we never miss anything with Anthony Bourdain or Gordon Ramsay. Oh, and we're completely addicted to Heroes- we're just sad it has gone away until next season!

Books:

I love to read. Kind of between books right now, but I love the books that Dan Brown and Anne Rice have written. When I have some spare time I alwasy pick up the latest copies of Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Food & Wine, or any of the other random wine/food magazines we get on a regular basis.

Heroes:

Heroes- Hmmmm. My parents are my heroes for putting up with me as a teenager. I love my kids, but damn, I think I would kick their asses if they ever acted like I did! I am so glad I will never have a daughter!
