I've got it a good old soul.....it just has a few dings.

About Me

I am your basic happy-go-lucky neighborhood nutcase. I'm a stay at home mom who loves a good night out without the kids, live music, quiet times at home and long drives in the country. I have been accused of being crazy by all of my closest friends and I don't think they would lie to me, so it's probably true.
If I had to describe myself in 3 words they would be: Random, blunt and funny.
I love Red Dirt music. I don't care what state it comes out of really but I do lean more towards Oklahoman artist. I just think they are more laid back, and I'm a laid back sort of girl.
But really,Red Dirt isn't a sound or a location ....it's an attitude.

My Interests

Living the simple life, live music, good friends, my kiddos, and just enjoying life as it comes.

I'd like to meet:

The great and terrible Oz, whoever invented duct tape, the person who puts the stickers on my bananas, someone to tickle my brain.

Music:

"There are things that music can do that language could never do, that painting can never do, or sculpture. Music is capable of going directly to the source of the mystery. It doesn't have to explain it. It can simply celebrate it."

Some of my favorites at the moment are: Stoney LaRue, Matt Powell, Bleu Edmondson, Back Porch Mary, Ragweed, Randy Rogers Band, Plainview, Reckless Kelly, Mickey & The Motorcars, Mike McClure Band, Tom Skinner, Don Morris, Scott Evans, Johnny Cooper, Robert Earl Keen, Billy Joe Shaver, Lucinda Williams, The Gin Sisters, Be Good Tanyas. The list goes on and on and on.
My long time favorites include: Nina Simone, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, The Pretenders, Tom Waits, John Hiatt, and pretty much all big band music.
I like music.....but I hate rap.

Movies:

I'm a dork, I like musicals.I also love pulp. If someone sings or everybody dies you can pretty much bet I dig it.

Television:

The Riches. Lost!. How I Met Your Mother. My Name Is Earl. CURRENT TV.

Books:

I'm crazy about books. I'll read almost anything, but tend to read alot of historical biographies.

Heroes:

All of my heros are songwriters and Psalm writers.

My Blog

Mommy's Little Punk

Tony has been wanting a mohawk since he was about 4, but I was too uptight about it to let him have one. It seems such a silly thing to deny a kid when I really think about it. It's just hair afteral...

The trouble with Fairy Tales

As a small child my mother was overly fond of reading me fairy tales. I was somewhat patronizing in my allowance of this. I knew that it meant alot to her so I let her prattle on. All the while though...

Possibly the worst tooth-fairy ever!

Maybe it makes me a bad Mommy, but my children have no belief in Santa, the Easter Bunny or the good old Tooth Fairy. They both know that I am all of those and more. Tony figured out that I was Santa ...
