About Me

I am a mom to Sada Alejandra and married to Daniel. We are in the process of moving from our teeny tiny apartment to something a lot bigger..Dan is in school full-time and he works a lot, and I teach at a preschool and have lots of church commitments-we're pretty busy..

My Interests

Reading, I love mystery/suspense stuff..not the cheesy mass market crap though, spending time with Sada and Dan, shopping for things for Sada..I like carving and cake decorating and baking and I love kids and watching them grow and learn..

I'd like to meet:

people and a few good robots.

Music:

U2, my brothers stuff, Muse, Echo and the Bunneymen, Tori Amos, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Radiohead..Mazzy Star..all the usuals..you know...I like Donovan..I just got to see Bjork at Austin City Limits and she was AMAZING..I've really gotten into Feist and Arcade Fire recently..

Movies:

Wings of desire, mission impossible, cheesy comedies and anything with David Spade..

Television:

Grey's Anatomy. Desperate Housewives, CSI: Las Vegas and CSI: Miami, Top Chef, Project Runway,anything obnoxious that's on past my bed time..

Books:

David Copperfield, Pride and Prejudice (the book though..no movie version), Dracula is, I think, one of my all time favorites and I think Esther flooded my version b/c it was in a box that got water :(, The Picture of Dorian Gray....anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I'm pretty sure that the Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite book..but I really liked Battle Royale too. I loved Atlas Shrugged and need to read it again, but it was a huge investment when I didn't have kids..I might have to wait a few more years to repeat that book...

the official wait.

I'm beginning to realize that adulthood involves a lot of waiting..Waiting for people to accept our offer on their house, waiting to see if I'll ever get pregnant again, waiting to finish school, wait...
