About Me

I'm a Southern Belle, through and through. Raised right here in South Carolina. I love all things Southern as a result. Peaches, funny gardening hats, pearls, magnolias, cotton fields, pig pickins, and Spanish moss - to name a few. I found my soulmate 3 years ago and we were married last November. I'm learning how to live country life all over again and am loving it. Come see me in Green Sea!background-color:transparent;

My Interests

I'm interested in everything! I usually have 3 projects going. At the moment, I'm establishing flower beds, wanting to bake fancy iced cupcakes and put them in one of those cute holders, growing orchids, following the presidential election and the Saints.

I'd like to meet:

I'd really like to spend more time with my Grandparents and my Parents. They were some of the most fascinating people I've ever known. I wish I could go back and listen to their stories all over again... paying closer attention this time.

Music:

Really, there is no music that I don't like. I love old stuff from when I was a teenager (Tony Orlando, Bread, America, etc.). Then, there's the music my brother's band used to play, (Little Red Riding Hood, Percy Sledge, and the Turtles). Boom has introduced me to the Blues and a whole lot of Reggae. I love it all!

Movies:

Harold and Maude, Drop Dead Fred, 50 First Dates are my all time favorites.

Television:

Help.. all our televisions seem to get are ESPN and ESPN2! I'm being held hostage to the Sports Channels. Hey.. but I can tell you all about Al Davis and what a dawg he is!

Books:

I don't read as much as I used to.. or as much as I would like to. My life has changed. I have always loved The Alchemist and anything by Isabel Allende.

Heroes:

My parents... old age ain't for sissies.
