About Me

I recently read my 'about me' and realized it has been one year since I wrote that blurb. Alot can change in a year but at the same time a year can fly by so fast. So, again I will say that I am reflecting over the past year which is something many of us do come the end of December. We can't help but drift back to previous years as we bake Christmas cookies, decorate trees, and spend time with friends and family, and think how far we have come (or not) over the years. It can be a very difficult time of year when you have lost someone you care about, and an amazing time of discovery if you are sharing the holidays with someone new. We also tend to revisit goals and aspirations, and hopes and dreams for ourselves as a new year seems to be a fresh start. I think it's important we never forget who we were, who we are, and who we want to be. It is up to us how we let the roads we have taken (or been dragged down) affect our futures. The past has made us all into what we are today and we should embrace it as we move forward to a new year and a new chapter in our lives. Turning the page can be a scary and exciting thing, but something we must do and risks must be taken to have a chance at stumbling upon something great. You can chose to avoid the unknown by re-reading the same pages of your life forever, or you can take a chance and pick up the pen...
Im a pretty laid back person. I like to have fun though most things I do these days involve the little ones, I try to get some adult time.
I can be pretty adventurous once you get to know me, and will try ALMOST anything once.
I guess thats about it, feel free to ask me anything else...

My Interests


Made by
.. Volleyball, tennis, softball, taking walks, if it can be played I can probably play it, I like to run, really I love the way I feel AFTER running. Yoga, Aerobics, all kinds of stuff.
I am also on a serious diet and exercise plan to (for once in my life) be completely happy with my body. 25 pounds lost, 15 to go!!!! sooo I have slacked off, but Im not too far from my goal. I can officially run 6.2 miles in under 10 minutes a mile. I think I should get a medal. Or at least a tshirt, lol.
Scrapbooking when I find the time. photography has always been a hobby of mine.
Taking the kids to the park, sleeping, movies, laughing, just hangin out with friends.
I enjoy writing, also.
I like to go out and have a drink or ten every so often and get a little crazy, and cause people we dont know to excessively ask if Susan and I are dating, then make total fools of ourselves, spill water and taco bell all over other peoples cars, and then wish we were dead in the morning, lol. Growing up I was always interested in psychology. Somehow I stumbled into accounting but there is still time to head down the path I always wanted...

I'd like to meet:

I have a heck of a time keeping up with the friends I have now. I am NOT interested in meeting anyone for the purposes of dating. I have my heart set on someone already...
Friends are very important to me, and I try my best to keep in contact with everyone that is important to me. Im up for meeting real friends but the truth is they are few and far between.

Music:


Get your own custom clock and flash toys at hot-lyts.com! I love music. I listen to a little bit of everything, but if I turned on a radio station to just listen most likely it will be 93.3, 98.7, 101.1. Sometimes I listen to Christian also. I like to listen to sappy love songs and jam to some rock too. I like to have some drinks and dance to some 90's rap among other things (not into the newer rap, but I can get down to some old snoop, dr dre and all that good stuff, lol) My IPOD contains quite a mix of music. Different types for different occasions!

Movies:

Whatever is on TV... We do watch all the darn Barbie movies amongst other things of interest to 2-4 year olds. I like cuddling up to a good romantic comedy and dont mind a good scary movie either. I enjoy movies quite a bit, good ones, and sometimes bad ones, I looove to laugh. Yes, I am a woman and have spent a Sunday or 1,592 watching Lifetime movies all day.

Television:

I love my soaps General Hospital is my favorite, though I havent been keeping up with it. I honestly can't remember the last time I watched it.
other than that whatever I can find on that's halfway entertaining when I have the time to watch. (which isnt often)
I do like the 4400, Monk, Law and Order, The Office, My Name is Earl, Army Wives, Heroes, How I met your mother, a million other shows that I only get to watch on a rare occasion

Books:

I used to read a lot, just recently picked up a book that a child wasn't begging me to read. I forgot how much I used to love to read...

Heroes:

Heroes..
Other single moms who give me hope that it gets easier and can be done without detrimental damage to the children.
Men who are real fathers to their children
I guess any parent who is being the best they can be.
Anyone who is working to achieve their goals and better themselves.
