Okay, it wouldn't be ME if I didn't write a BOOK! :) So here it is....... I use the right side of my brain more than the left. One of my lifelong passions (as well as my previous profession) is acting. My love and admiration for the craft began with the experience of my mom taking me to Dinner Theater (in Carmel, California) on several occasions as a child. I've taken quite a long break from working as a film and television actress to enjoy a more quiet and peaceful lifestyle in Northern California. I'm incredibly thankful to be able to live (and EVEN make a good living) in an area that's surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains and CLEAN AIR!!! I do, however, greatly miss going to a set each morning to work around a bunch of fellow "crazy people". See the "Networking" section at the bottom of my page for a LITTLE "resume blurb" (not able to fit much in that tiny little box!). ~ Ooooookay, after ALL of that (lol), I'm also into home decorating/painting, writing..... I enjoy my many creative outlets. ~ I absolutely LOVE to travel; people fascinate me and I love being introduced to new cultures. ~ I'm also one of those CRAZY people who LIKES to exercise! I've worked out (weight lifting, cardio classes, etc.) for 19 years (including a couple of years of teaching aerobics and fitness training). Working out has always been an outlet for me. It helps to minimize stress and, as I like to say, "It keeps me sane!!!". But on top of that, I actually just LIKE IT!
Another important part of my life is spending time in the "great outdoors". I feel that God has, so graciously, blessed us with this beautiful world and I hope to never take it for granted! My husband and I spend a great deal of our weekends during the summer months boating on breathtakingly beautiful Shasta Lake (about 15 minutes from our house). I have to admit though, (shhhh, don't tell my husband.....jk), that I really do miss living by the ocean. There's nothing like being able to "lose" yourself to the sound of the ocean waves. I'm still SO VERY THANKFUL that I had the opportunity to do that each day from my previous home in South Orange County, California (Laguna Beach area).
Ahhhhhhh.......the sound of the crashing waves, the feel of the warm sand between your toes, the smell of the salty air, the way that the hot sun makes your skin tingle and then how amazing it feels when the cool ocean breeze brushes over you. .................Oh.....WOW! Am I still sitting at my computer? Oops!.....SOOOOO sorry......I got a little lost in that thought! :) ....Finally, and most importantly, I LOVE.....just loving my husband and our 2 kids (a Standard Poodle and a Black Lab)! ....LIFE IS GOOD!!!"MY SUMMER VACATION" by Jenn-with-a-double-n....hehe!

Music:
================= OLD FAVES - Sheryl Crow - Sarah McLachlan - Norah Jones - Bob Marley - Natalie Merchant (I liked her best when she was with 10,000 Maniacs) - even some Metallica. - Oh, and to really throw you off, I love to fill my iPod with a mix of "Electronic" tunes to hype me up during my gym workouts! =================
NEW FAVES - Wow.....too many to list since the discovery of iTunes. =================
Movies:
love, love, LOOOOOOVE movies! ~ WAY too many to list! =================
Television:
I will always be a faithful fan of Survivor. My husband and I had "Survivor Night" every week when we were first getting to know each other. ~ There are a few other shows that I really do enjoy, however, I really "try" to limit the time that I watch television. I don't ever want it to take away from more important daily life experiences. =================
Books:
I'm always reading 3-4 books at a time (rotating between each). It's difficult for me to keep my attention on just one from cover to cover (I know, kinda crazy!). My favorite author (at the moment) is R.C. Sproul. The book most important to me? The Bible.
Heroes:
No thought needed for the answer to this one. READ MY BLOG titled, "My Hero, My Angel" to find out who it is !!! ~ I PROMISE it will encourage you (or, at the very least, MAKE YOU SMILE) ..........
Cool Slideshows!
