I am here for Friends

About Me



Hi, my name is Mary!!

My husband and I met in a Parent's chat room .. and have been HAPPILY married now for 10 years. We live in Maryland right now, but are moving very soon. We have been house hunting all summer!!.

Our kids are Suzi, Chris, Joe, Kati, Murphy and Ben!! We have a hoard of animals including dogs, cats, toads, turtles, bugs of all shapes and size, and a gopher living out back!! We have also been visited by the neighborhood black bear, fox, deer galore, and two horses at one point.

Gotta love the mountains!!!

My Interests

I love photography, reading, cooking and computers!! Right now I am sooo into making MySpace Layouts on Skem9 and learning CSS...still not good at it, but I am trying!!

SKEM 9
I am a SKEM 9 addict!! I have made some really cool friends there and I have submitted my 300th layout!! I just love the Skemmers!! I no longer take requests, but you can check out my premades HERE.
Unfortunately the layout makers, myself included, who enjoy creating and posting our layouts for others to use through Skem9 are having our layout codes stolen and posted to other sites without the credit. And where do they post them???
This site right here, www.HotProfilePlus.com (I have to put this in as a copy and paste because MySpace has disabled the link) is only one of many sites on the web that allow people to post stolen layouts as their own.
Please show your support for the original artists - don't use the layouts from this site or any like them, get them directly from Skem9 - and pass this along to your friends and family.
Spread the word
DONT SUPPORT SITES THAT ALLOW STOLEN LAYOUTS.


I'd like to meet:

I would have loved to have met Ansel Adams, he was an amazing person and an outstanding photographer...

'I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us' - Ansel Adams

Music:

I love all music, except for rap. Just can't bend around that one. Currently I like Colbie Calliat, A Fine Frenzy, Time Tells All, Jon McLaughlin and Linkin Park. I also love the golden oldies such as Bread, Eric Clapton, Heart, Fleetwood Mac and Queen.

Movies:

The best movie ever Better Off Dead!!! I also love Practical Magic, Fried Green Tomatoes and the classic Yours Mine and Ours. Recently watched favorites are Perfect Stranger, Griffin and Phoenix, and Georgia Rules.

Television:

I am currently watching Chuck, Private Practice, Ghost Whisperer, and Brothers and Sisters. I am really addicted to Gene Simmons Famiy Jewels, it's just hilarious and I can't wait until the new season starts!!!

Books:

Anything by Mitch Albom, Dean Koontz' Odd Thomas series, and the early Stephen King novels.

Heroes:

My heroes are the people who take time out to brighten someone else's day and people who aren't afraid to accept that others may have a different opinion.
I am also amazed every day by my kids. They are all growing up and finding their way, and it's important to remember, they will be growing for the rest of their lives

Philosophy A wise woman once told me, it's not the things you DID in life you regret the most, but the things you DIDN'T do.
