About Me

A woman's heart should be so lost in God that a man must seek Him to find her.
"Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor, the devil says, "Oh crap, she's up!"
I work and play hard. I'm all or nothing...pretty intense. I'm insanely truthful, but I know how to make someone feel special. I find the best in people. I love the South and all of its little quirks, but I feel at home in New York City. I like all sorts of music, from country and pop to Christian and some rap...R & B...you name it. I am eclectic.
Some of my favorites...
chocolate, Mt. Dew, John Legend, Nicholas Sparks, Savannah, Pretty Woman, The Notebook, Colbie Cailat dancing, singing, drinks with friends, laughing a lot, writing, buying cool gifts for people...
Pet peaves
People leaving the cabinet doors open, someone touching my nose, liars, whiners, people who cannot merge, snobs, people who don't believe in second chances and forgiveness, and most importantly, people who don't know when there have been enough chances.
Matthew 11:28 and Jer. 29:11 are my life verses...lesson learned the hard way. I'm learning to let go and allow God to be who He is.
29 RANDOM THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU.
1. The Lord has blessed me tremendously.
2. I adore my morning Mt. Dew! (guess that's no secret)
3. Do NOT touch my nose!

15. I have a boxer named Hero named after a princess in Much Ado About Nothing.
16. I love to read Shakespeare and watch his plays.
17. The theatre makes me smile.
18. I genuinely love my students.
19. I know it's wrong...all teachers have favorites!
20. I am a complete romantic at heart.
21. I have difficulty trusting people.
22. I push myself to do new things as often as possible.
23. I DO NOT do scary movies...and if I must, The Little Mermaid will be watched after them.
24. Although I've had my heart broken a few times, I would do it all again so I don't ever wonder what if...
25. It's easier for me to be friends with guys.
26. I don't do anything halfway.
27. College footbal is the bomb, especially the SEC.
28. I'm a terrible sport, whether it's me or my teams.
29. The best job I've ever had is being a Mom.

May 7, 2006

I just got back from church, and I just have to smile at God's sense of humor.  Sometimes, life is just funny.  Who can we attribute that to but the Lord?  I am laughing because I walke...

An old piece I found...Power of a Kiss

What is it about the kiss?  What is the power that it holds over us?  It does, you know.  A kiss has the power to drive us away, bring us together, and melt your heart.  Note the m...
