About Me


I thought it would be fun to officiate weddings, so I became an ordained minister a couple of years ago...I get freaky to Frank Sinatra...I also tried hang gliding and fell in love with the sport. I love natural health, good, healthy food, and gooey comfort food. I try to practice preventative healthcare for me and my family. I LOVE my family and would do anything to protect them. I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, and daytime lovin is the best time lovin. I dream of getting my pilot's license, being fluent in spanish, though I've done nothing about either...I love to read, I love beauty in any form. I love to travel. I love music, all kinds. I love to dance. I love happy, real laughter and FUN...though I have been known to have a little too much fun. I believe it was Sophia Loren who once said, "Mistakes are the dues one pays for a full life". I love anything that moves me emotionally. Art nouveau moves me. Old movies move me. I sometimes long for another era. I'd love to know what made Alphonse Mucha appreciate the female body in such a beautiful way. I love a good bottle of red wine, some slow old jazz, and a fireplace. The beach sometimes makes me feel "melancholy". Though , it's one of my favorite places on earth. My favorite season is autumn. There is something about the color of the sunlight in fall that gives everything it touches it's final and most magnificent beauty of the year. My children are the most amazing thing to ever grace this planet, and I feel they are my greatest gift to humankind. I like real rock-n-roll. I love the south, it's where I'm from. I've been many other places I could live quite happily, too. I daydream constantly, and have a billion great ideas, but only a little follow-through. I love learning life's lessons, though sometimes they are really, really hard. Someday I am going to do a study on where squirells go to die. Someday I am going to produce my own album. Someday I am going to travel the globe and do something to help each place I land. Someday I am going to own about 50 acres of land in the middle of nowhere, raise my own food, be off the grid, be a hermit until I can't stand it anymore and invite everyone I like to come and start our own little town...I'll be mayor, of course. I say someday a lot. Someday I'll stop doing that. I am pretty laid back...borderline flat out lazy. I prefer the term, "content".MySpace Layouts

My Interests

My babies, music, all things natural,(everything is natural...just because it exists), squirells, bartending at home, making a good life for me and the people in my life. I never want to regret the time I spend. Life is too short and we'll never get this moment back again. I love good friends who take care of each other because they already know how to take care of themselves.

If you’ve ever read the "about me" part of my page, you’ll know that I once wrote that someday I would own 50 acres in the middle of nowhere.... Guess I can cross that one off my list.... ...

Seriously...sometimes you’ve just got to take a deep breath and let it go.

What is the big freakin deal with "christians"? If it's not one thing, it's another...ALL the time. Big bunch of "watchdog" cry babies just looking for a reason to push their "beliefs" on others. Don'...
