About Me

..src="http://files.freelayouts.com/images/88x31_2.gif" border="1" alt="MySpace Layouts"

Profile courtesy of MySpace LayoutsI work for the postal service, but don't worry, I have no intentions of "going postal". I am the blushing bride of Dan, proud mother of Eve, Doggie momma to Zeeke, the world's best dog ever, and a few cats allow me to live in their house. I live for my family, I can think of no more noble obsession. I have time for little else.

My Interests

I'm an avid Hiker and camper, I love to kayak. Once upon a time I scuba dived (dove?) and did karate. I sometimes paint and draw, and love to take pictures. I'm all about my family, which consists of my Daughter, Evelyn Rose, my husband Dan, my dog Zeeke, and our 5 cats. My favorite thing to do on a weekend is to take Zeeke and Eve out for a walk in new and interesting places, along with my very good friend Bob and his dogs Laura Jo and Leelo.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

I like classical, classic rock, some country, some pop, oldies. Girl Music (Sheryl Crow, Loreena Mckeenit, Sara Maclaughlin) Some folk. A little heavy, some techno, some new age, Japanese Hiroki Okano, and a little bit of the mainstream. I hate anything Rap or by busty blonde bimbos, anything so sweet it gives you a toothache, and if it requires an ebonics dictionary to understand it, I won't allow it played in my vicinity.

Movies:

Eclectic tastes here. Big fan of comedy, action, and some horror (thanks to hubby's influence). The girl in me likes the occasional romance or chick flick. I love to hate the movies made from my favorite books; I’m told this is quite annoying

Television:

I'm into the Gilmore Girls right now, Kyle XY, and always will mourn the loss of Buffy. Reba, Still standing are a couple of my new fav's. I don't really get a lot of time for TV.

Books:

All over the place. I just got done reading Hannibal Rising. For some reason I love Harris Thomas. I love the way he writes, it inspires me to become more well rounded. I loved the Davinci Code, before that the Narnia Chronicles, Marley and Me, Joy Luck Club, Count of Monte Christo, Phantom of the Opera. James Herriots whole collection, Chicken soup for the *"insert animal related title here"*, Harry Potter Rules, Phillip Pullmans "His Dark Materials" trilogy. POETRY- Hate the beats, Love John Donne, Keats, Shelly, (most of the classic poets) Any art/art history book... John Grisham, Nora Roberts, Clive Cussler, Dean Koontz. It would be easier to ask me what I don't like as far as books.

Growing (eve Chronicles Volume 5)

Growing Up. Everyone always says how fast children grow. I hear an endless rhetorical every day of "Before you know it, she'll be 30".  To which I always roll my eyes and reply "yeah, yeah". ...
