About Me

"We don't love the people we love because they are perfect, we love the people we love because they are."
Well let's see...I am an overly ambitious 39 year old mother of the most beautiful 5 year old little boy around. I have built a very successful network of fantastic friends and feel very lucky. I work in Pharmaceutical sales in St Pete and love my job.
I grew up in Clearwater, FL, graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in finance, and have resided in the Tampa Bay Area since 1995. I just bought and moved into my own condo in Feathersound in St Pete/Clearwater and absolutely love it!
I am very passionate about music and love to attend every concert I can. I am an avid football fan - Bucs and Gators. I also love hockey and believe it or not watching golf on TV - it relaxes me. I love good conversation, great wine, eclectic beer, photography, music, movies, books, snow skiing and hanging out with my friends. Love to try anything new!
"Never make someone your priority, when they only make you an option."

My Interests

"Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones."

I'd like to meet:

Sincere and genuine people. I am not a My Space friend collector and am quite selective about who I will add.

Music:

Snow Patrol, James Blunt, Nickelback, Coldplay, The Killers, Tom Petty, Jamie Cullum, Michael Buble, Keane, Madonna, Train, Prince, U2, Jimmy Buffet, Kelly Clarkson (don't laugh her last CD helped through my current divorce), Sarah Machlachan, Corrine Bailey Rae, The Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode and Patsy Cline.

Movies:

Lost in Translation, Moulin Rouge is one of my all time favorites, especially enjoy off beat comedy and dark dramas.

Television:

I used to say that my biggest downfall was TV - especially reality TV (hence Kelly Clarkson). However, I have found recently living on my own, I don't watch as much as I used to and don't really care. I watch football, Sex and the City reruns, Will & Grace, and Grey's Anatomy - whenever I can catch up on the DVR.

Books:

Just finished "The Secret" and am working on "The Law of Attraction". Love Mitch Albom: "For One More Day", "Tuesday's With Morrie" and "The Five People You Meet In Heaven". Am currently reading "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell and "The Art of Imperfection" - a fabulous book.

Heroes:

My son, my dad, my grandmother.

My Blog

The biggest problem confronting the world today is...

"the illusion that our differences matter more than our common humanity." Bill Clinton I think that says it all...don't you?...
