What would you like to read? That I am funny..or at least try to be...sensitive, compassionate, loving, devoted and true? Or maybe you would like to read about how passionate I am, obsessive, and how I am learning to be brave. I am sometimes a walking contradiction, the whole sugar and spice thing. I can be a bit of a looney, but those who love me love me inspite of that. It becomes endearing, of course they also know somewhere beneath it all lurks a deep and wonderful woman. I laugh a lot at silly things...I think a head shot with a beach ball is very funny! My hubby is very glad I am so easily amused. Hey it's life, if ya dont find time to laugh what will ya do? I love to find beauty in the things around me...of course not everything has beauty, some things are just down right nasty. I still give it a try. I think everyone is basically good, which is why I am so disappointed so often. Human nature prevails and it is one of those not so beautiful things. Not everyone is that way, thank goodness, and it helps me hold onto the thin gossamer thread of hope that there is a chance for us. yea yea too touchy feely *shrug* Its how I feel.
But, of course you would rather read about something else. You won't find any of that here. And, I am very loyal and happily married so don't even bother. My husband and my children are my soul and my life. I only wish you could be so happy.
wow, I'm worth a lot more than I thought I would be!

My Interests

My family.
* Classic cars, especially Chevys...more specifically the Camaro!
The Concept Camaro is my next car. *sighs* Here are a couple of pics I took at the auto show in San Diego!! I was in tears...she is so gorgeous!

* Reading...not as boring as it sounds. Every book is an adventure. Sorry if that sounds cheesy, but I really enjoy reading.
* http://www.showdog.com!! I am so addicted to that site!
* http://www.worth1000.com.
* oh and did I mention cars?
* Learning, figuring things out...and of course I always manage to go about it the hard way.
* Making custom myspace backgrounds :)
* Geocaching! The kids and I have to get back out there hiking. There is treasure to be found in the form of a tupperware container hidden under a sticker bush! I need more kid's meal toys darn it! See ya on the trail :)
* Laughing! I am easily amused so this happens often...and sometimes for no apparent reason except one known only to myself. I get a lot of odd looks from strangers

I'd like to meet:

Hmmmm, not sure really except for REAL people that aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in, who they are, and who they love.

Get a scroller at frogcodes.com!

Music:

country, jazz, the classics. As long as it doesnt demean my worth as a woman or make men look like sh** I like it.

Movies:

I'm a sucker for movies that are silly, no brainers, and easy entertainment. American Pie type movies. My favorites include Beetlejuice, 13 Going On 30, Raising Helen, Bubba Ho-Tep, Hellboy, and most other comic book movies. Oh how could I not include anything with Brendan Fraser in it LOL~

Television:

I love the Sci Fi channel, TLC, Discovery, Animal Planet... Only watch when I am not playing with photoshop or doing the mom/wife thing.

Books:

Dean Koontz, JANET EVANOVICH!!! That woman knows how to write comedy. I can totally relate to Stephanie Plum...well except for the bounty hunter part. I am sure if I was a bounty hunter, everything that happens to Stephanie would happen to me...plus some! T. Jefferson Parker, a local author who writes crime/cop stories. It's neat reading a book that includes things you are very familiar with...the city and such, not the crimes (duh). My newest fave author...Charlaine Harris! Her Sookie Stackhouse series is much better than a romance novel.

Heroes:

My husband. He amazes me. His strength, his sense of humor, his talent, everything about him. I believe in him deeply, adore him greatly, and love him dearly. I know without a single doubt in my mind he loves me and in knowing this, I have found peace and satisfaction.
My kids because they are resilient, intelligent and talented, and they find so many different ways to look at the things around us. They have taught me patience, unconditional love, and how to have fun.
