The fault, dear Brutus, is not with our stars, but with ourselves...

About Me

I'm just me! I'm a survivor of my circumstances, not a victim. God is huge in my life. I don't push my beliefs about God on anyone...I encourage you to get your own. Let's see...what to tell you about me...I know...if you want to know, just ask, but don't ever assume. I blog almost daily so surely you can pick up a few things in there about me and who I am. I'm also a mom, a writer, a song writer and not so good music composer, a graphic artist and photoshop designer, new construction cleanup person, housecleaner (not my own house), part-time digital house for a publisher, free experienced in life counselor and that's all just right now...not to mention the tons of other stuff I've done up until now and just don't do anymore.
Past hats I've worn... Optical Lab Assistant; Optical Sales; Shirt marker at dry cleaners; Assistant Department Manager for a Mark to Marketing Firm; Unix Computer Program Writer; Escrow Assistant for a Title Company; College Student Commercial Art/Graphic Design/Advertising/Marketing; Waitress at Chili's; Paralegal; Engineering Assistant for Geotechnical Engineering Firm; Marketing Director; Safety Coordinator; Auto Cad Tech; Committee Chairwoman for local chapter National Association of Women In Construction; Volunteer for OES (my license to speed in Saline County just expired...lol); Volunteer for Skywarn (tornado chaser...I'm older and not into taking those kind of risks now...lol); Habitat for Humanity Volunteer; American Red Cross Volunteer; Advertising Sales; Digital Typesetter; Publisher
There have been people in my life who were set on finding happiness in only things money could buy. My happiness is priceless and comes from being able to give or do for others so they will know how special they are to me.

My Interests

Create Your Own!
Listening to music, especially live bands, watching any kind of movie, especially the ones that make you think and you want to watch over and over, rollercoasters, art, sketching, painting, playing piano, writing, reading books, having fun visiting with friends...in no particular order. Oh and I have kids...Rina, 16 and Andie, 13. They are my angels.
Create Your Own!

I'd like to meet:

I've already met the man in my life who I love with all my heart. "Those who are enjoying something, or suffering something together, are companions. Those who enjoy or suffer one another, are not." -C.S. Lewis
Create Your Own!
I'm not out to make superficial friends. Of course, what I want and what I get are two different things, but I would like the relationships I have with friends on here to run deeper than that. I realize that everyone has their own life and can only devote so much time to developing friendships, but it's nice when someone asks how your day is going because they really want to know.

Your name

Music:

Anything except rap. Check out my brother's band P.W.K. (Power. Word. Kill.) and MAX CURRENT. They're both local and awesome! Especially my little brother, but he's kinda special to me.

Movies:

Some of my favorites that never get old: The Truth About Cats And Dogs, Alot Like Love, Fun With Dick And Jane, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Chronicles of Narnia, Under The Tuscan Sun. Any movie that makes me want to see it again to see what I missed the first time around, if you have to watch it more than that, that's a good movie!

Television:

Don't watch much, but when I do anything like Mythbusters, M*A*S*H, The Discovery Channel, The History Channel

Books:

One of my favorites is The Green Mile. The book was so much better than the movie...although, I did like the movie too. The Quotable C.S. Lewis, Through Seasons of the Heart, Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Message

Heroes:

My guardian angel who always watches out for me and has rescued me on several occassions.

My Blog

You want me to show them what?

Well I guess it's been a little while since you've heard a peep out of me and there's good reason for that.  One....paying the light bill won priority over paying the internet bill and two....sin...

Finally...alone...

This weekend we finally got some time alone.  Friday, I came home to one of the most wonderful meals I've ever had.  Well...just about any meal that I don't have to cook is a good meal, but ...

It's a beautiful day...

So I'm sitting here this morning drinking a cup of coffee, smoking a cigarette and wishing I'd made Jeff leave me the U2 CD that has the song on it that is the title of this blog.  Last night I f...

On a lighter note...

No more hoochie talk today, but I did want to let you know that I am thankful for the "girl" friends...you know the friends that are girls...that are in Jeff's life.  God knows one thing I c...

Myspace hoochies...

Nothing is more funny to me than some stupid myspace hoochie prowling for men...especially the men that are obviously in a relationship with someone else.  I'm sure most women wonder how I could ...

Expectations...

So...have you been wondering if I would ever blog again?  It seems like everytime I think I know what to expect, everything changes and all expectations goes right out the window.  The...

So maybe football isn't the devil after all...

Last night was the big game...Glen Rose vs. Malvern.  IF I remember right, remember I'm still trying to get the gist of it, Glen Rose made two touchdowns in the first quarter.  I told Jeff t...

This is where I was sitting Saturday night when my whole world changed.  It couldn't have been a more perfect place or a more perfect time.  So, here's the story.... Eleven years ago, I was...
