About Me


Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™
I am enjoying my 40's and I am married to a great guy who supports me in all ways and allows me to "just be me".
I am a loyal friend who listens when my friends need to vent, whine or brag. Or if they need to say nothing, but just know that someone cares, I am there. I defend my friends to the best of my ability, and will stand by them through whatever life throws at them. I can be a bit sarcastic and have been known to get people laughing in the dreariest of times. I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh!
I am "mom" to a Terrier mix named Mickie, two cats: Rudy and Alicia, and two very funny and intelligent parrots: Connor and Playdoe.
I live about 2 hours north of Milwaukee and get down there frequently to visit family and friends.
I love any and all creative endeavors and am still trying to decide who I want to be when I grow up.
My main avocations are reading, surfing the net, sleeping and using big words. ;)

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS! There are many interesting people I would like to meet, but I mainly enjoy conversations with everyday folks I meet ... Among the famous names I would love to meet are Tom Petty, Weird Al Yankovic, Bill and Melinda Gates, Shirley MacLaine, Drew Carey, Camryn Mannheim, Matt Kenseth and Brett Favre.
Since I stay at home with only "the zoo" to keep me company, I MISS having intelligent conversations! I am looking for someone who likes to chat, either IM or via e-mail, to discuss current events, the mysteries of the universe, why slow drivers stay in the left lane, and anything else worthy of contemplation. I can be silly and I can be serious, but either way, I am opinionated and not afraid to let anyone know it. Seriously, I am rather open minded and accepting and if it is something I really can't handle, I will tell you.

Music:

Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Journey, Styx, Tom Petty, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benetar, Tom Petty, The Eagles, The Byrds, Queen, Tom Petty, Billy Joel, AC/DC, Fleetwood Mac, Weird Al, Tom Petty, Nickelback, Def Leppard, Godsmack, Bare Naked Ladies, Tom Petty, The Violent Femmes, Romeo Void, Billy Idol, Tom Petty, Cherry Monroe, Audioslave, The Killers, Tom Petty, The Clarks, Heart, Vic Ferrari, Harry Chapin, Tom Petty, Simon & Garfunkle, Iggy Pop, The Traveling Wilburies, Del Shannon, Tom Petty, Bette Midler, The Romantics, Wagner, The Four Seasons, Tom Petty, Matt Toka, Ok Go and many more I have forgotten and some I haven't discovered yet!

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Heroes:

1) My great-grandparents who came to the US from Europe to give their kids a better life. 2) Everyday people who make this world a better place without attracting much attention to themselves. 3) Celebrities who use their fame to improve the lives of others and send a positive message. 4) People who find what they love and overcome obstacles to do it.
