After having been married for 15 years, 2006 started off with me finding myself suddenly single again. This is a strange new phase of life for me, and odds are my ramblings will reflect this from time to time. I have four children who are the center of the universe. My eldest is keeping a pretty impressive GPA in college and presented me with my first grandbaby this year! My younger three keep me pretty busy.
I live in the Cedar Park/Leander area outside of Austin and am the marketing director for a local boutique Real Estate firm. In the odd moment I find for myself I write ... a lot. I'll be sure and let you know if I ever get published. When the mind is to crowded for the thoughts to make it past my fingers and into legible form, I waste time in front of the computer goofing off with friends either playing DragonRealms online (Ahnelyne or Aspira in Prime - Andysta in Plat)or World of Warcraft (Anloria on Misha).
Occasionally I take a holiday from being an upstanding member of society to frolic about with friends in various costumes at local Ren Faires and at DragonCon in Atlanta. I have also recently begun roller skating again as part of my "reclaiming my identity" phase of divorce. I've also been known to frequent the occasional night of Karaoke at a local hangout and enjoy making a fool out of myself with some of my best friends.
All in all it makes for a life that is worth waking up for on most days.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I like making friends with people who can carry on both an intelligent AND an unintelligent conversation. Doing both at the same time is a bonus! Other than that .. I have a tiny lil wishlist of sorts.If anyone has ever questioned why I classify Hugh Jackman as the perfect man ... this should make it crystal clear. Add to this the fact that he calls his wife his bride ... and yeah - I'd say as close to perfect as any man is likely to get. Of course, as everyone who's known me since I was 14 can tell you Mikhail Baryshnikov was my first true love. That's when I first saw the Sinatra Suite - if you've never seen the entire routine, I highly recommend doing so. Oh, and while I'm making wish lists - really should add Pasha Kovalev to it. Yeah .. this routine makes me happy in sooooo many ways. Then again, I can't think of a single moment of his dancing or interviews that didn't delight and thrill. He well deserves to be in this company.And last, but certainly not least - I would love to spend a few hours basking in the genius that is the creation of and the amazing performances in Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. If you haven't seen it, then you must! You'll thank me later with lavish forms of gifts and praise!
