About Me

MyHotComments
I am a well meaning, 20-something, married, white, female with one man, two kids, two dogs, one mortgage, two jobs and a partridge in a pair tree. For the most part, life is pretty damn good.

My Interests

Friends and family are priority 1, followed closely by my selfish desire for physical fitness. I like strumming my guitar, running and the endorphin rush it brings, hiking, canoeing, hugging my kiddies, and every now and then passing a bottle around a campfire. I also like to bake, (cookies not brain cells), and make buttermilk pancakes at least six times a week. Gardening is pretty cool, but I'm saving that hobby for when the kids move out and I need something to tend to.

I'd like to meet:

A good tipper.

Music:

My absolute favorite album is Reckoning, by The Grateful Dead. I enjoy listening to a wide variety of genres: classical, classic rock, jamband, pop, country, folk, bluegrass. As long as there is a degree of musical talent behind the tune I usually find it enjoyable. I am addicted to Jack Johnson. My kids sing along to his songs. I have had a love affair with a band called Vinyl for the past couple of years. I could listen to them all day.

Movies:

Fly Boys, Dirty Love, American Beauty, The Devils Advocate, The Aviator, Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels,The Notebook, The Incredibles, Thank You For Smoking

Television:

T.V. happens in the morning for the kids and in the evening for Billy and I. That is the agreement.

Books:

I'm a fan of You, The Owners Manual.

Heroes:

My husband Billy, Ana Byrne, Susan Pitts. Pretty much any person who has regulated thier lifestyle to become maximally effecient and lives in an inspirational manner. Alpha-endorphin, beta-endorphin, gamma-endorphin, & sigma-endorphin.
