I am here for Friends

About Me

I was born in the 50's in Central Texas and have lived re pretty much all of my life. I've been working with disabled children for 10 years and find it very rewarding. I am married and have 2 children. My daughter is in her 20's, is married, and is a teacher in southeast Texa. My son is in college and is majoring in vocal performance. I love to read, listen to music, go to movies, and watch TV. I also love hanging out with my bunco babes. We always have a great time together talking and playing a few rounds of bunco.

My Interests

Aikman, Smith, and Irvin (The Triplets)


I love music, reading, shopping, and being with family and friends.

I'd like to meet:

..

Music:

Lots of different styles, except I can't stand rap. Favorite singers/groups at this moment are: Michael Buble, Eva Cassidy, Steve Tyrell, Kristin Chenoweth, Jane Monheit, and The Manhatten Transfer. Also enjoy Carpenters, early Elvis, and of course the group who started my real love for music...The Beatles! I love rock, jazz, showtunes, standards, and some country. a

Movies:

Geez, too many to name. I love musicals from the 50's and 60's and romantic comedies the best. I also like comedies like Mel Brooks movies such as Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety. I love the Christopher Guest mockumentaries-- Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and The Mighty Wind. I still enjoy Disney movies, too!

Television:

Classic shows: Bewitched (one of my faves), That Girl, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Andy Griffith Show, The Mod Squad, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and most of the old variety shows from the 60's. Other shows: The Wonder Years, thirtysomething, My So-Called Life, Once and Again, Seinfeld, Friends, Will & Grace, and my guilty pleasure...Full House. New Shows: Desperate Housewives, Lost, American Idol, Dancing With the Stars, and my new favorite show, Grey's Anatomy. Also love HGTV and Food Network.

Books:

Mostly "cozy" mysteries and Southern fiction. Some of my favorite authors are Sue Grafton, Gemma Halliday,Fannie Flagg, Louise Shaffer, Billie Letts, Dorothea Benton Frank, Kris Raddish, Janet Evanovich, Laura Levine, Earlene Fowler, Rosemary Martin, and J.A. Jance.
