I love really good hugs, snapping snapdragons, blowing double bubbles, back scratches, playing cards with my family, making music, giggling with my siblings, "talking" to my pets, walking barefoot in the sand, floating on the river, watching the sun set on the ocean, warm & delicious food, flopping on my bed after a long day, children's laughter, writing poetry, finishing a good book, singing in the shower, dancing in the rain, wearing old sweatshirts, long sweet kisses, drinking red wine by the fire, candlelit bubble baths, catching up with old friends, traveling, photography, learning new languages, meeting people from different cultures, doing crosswords, playing games, playing guitar, piano & harmonica, singing to Green Day with my brother & sister, jamming with my friends, playing softball, bowling, playing pool, going to the river/lake/beach, hanging with the family and anything else that stimulates my brain and requires using my imagination.
I'm truly fortunate to have been blessed with the biggest and baddest family ever. I am crazy about them and, well, they are just plain crazy.
I grew up spending a lot of time in Tustin, Needles, Elsinore, Lake Arrowhead & 29 Palms - my homes away from home.
And of course I just couldn't do without my friends. You all kick ass!
Oh and I can't forget about my good friends at work who help me through the long hard days with some refreshing Cheeze Pizza (aka Chispitas). Dont ya wanna?:
I'd like to meet:
My Dad...we're sending this to America's Funniest Home Videos haha!!
