My husband and kids, Penguins, reading, listening to music (top 40, smooth jazz, R&B, classic rock), movies, watching TV, volunteering at church, spending time with close friends and family, scrapbooking, beading, learning everything about food allergies specifically peanut allergies (a.k.a keeping my daughter safe), paranormal stuff, the Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots, taking walks, reading blogs
My email friends from overseas; George Clooney; Sting; and the Boston boy actor trifecta: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Mark Wahlberg (I did manage to stop by the set of "The Departed" one day, but the only guys I got to see were Martin Sheen, Martin Scorsese and very briefly, Leonardo DiCaprio. Dang it). Other stay-at-home parents; other parents who have a child/children with food allergies; and fun new friends who I can babble with...AND please check out my very unofficial Sting fan group .
