My Interests

My family, and MOLTEN HOT GLASS AND FIRE!!!! Those are my first 3 passions. I Love to lampwork and create glass beads, sculptures, and marbles from glass rods and a torch. The creating with glass is my sanctuary and my therapy - without it, I go a little nuts. I also dabble in creating sterling silver jewelry and components to compliment my glass bead creations. I recently got a tumbler for polishing my silver so I'm planning more and more things that I want to make! I just love to create with my hands. It's what keeps me sane! I've gotten a new torch after 10 years (think it was about time???) -a Bethlehem Piranha. I LOOOVVVVEEEE her! So versatile and it's the perfect torch for me. I'm still having a blast with it! I love to garden, also and have worked hard to create some kind of a nice garden of perennials in my back and front yard. I would love to have a garden full of movement - art pieces that move with the wind. For now, I use a lot of tall grasses to achieve the movement effect. I'm planning to create a zen/yoga garden in a shady spot undera a tree in my yard. I even got moss for mother's day so it can go into the garden. ( I know, I'm weird.....who gets excited over moss???

Music:

GD,DMB, John Mayer, Sting's new one...love it.... Some local music, Oh, man, am I supposed to list everything that I love??? Too many to mention. I love and toured with the Dead for quite a few years (quite a few years ago). Those were the best times of my life and I do miss them. I miss Jerry the most. I'm all over the place with music. I love almost everything, but don't play 99% of rap or contemporary music for me. Think people need to search their brains and come up with some lyrics and music that hasn't already been made and I'm tired of hearing how many women you had at "da club". :p I have many VERY TALENTED musician friends who have consistently opened my world up to all sorts of music, and I'm grateful for that. You all know who you are and thank you so much!!!

Movies:

Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™

Television:

TV I cannot live without - The Simpsons and Spongebob Squarepants. Fine, go ahead and laugh ... I'm a grown woman and my two favorite shows are cartoons. :) I love House - that's about the only real show I make sure I catch every week. If I can, I watch the wife swap shows because I like to see prissy women freak out and have a meltdown ;)

Books:

Siddartha (Herman Hesse) is my favorite book. I also loved A Million Little Pieces - even despite the fact that most of it turned out to be a farce - it still hit really close to home and was a very emotional read for me.

Hey, Psycho, it's only slander if it's untrue!

I'm simply defending my character because someone I knew for so long decided to get uppity and then psychotic - calling me a liar and calling my friends and family to try and convince them of the same...
