I love being outside and enjoy working in my yard. Hanging out with my neighbors in my cul-de-sac or Chillin' with my friends and family; LOVE concerts; hanging out at the pool or Lake Lanier for the weekend; mountains in the fall; I love my son Gordon and I am very proud of him (an Eagle Scout!)
Music
I Love pretty much all types of music. From Classic Rock, Alternative Rock, Jazz, Blues, Classical, Opera, Top 40, Hip Hop, and even some Rap, and a little bit of Country...........just depends on my mood and what I am doing.
Movies
Movies I can watch over and over again: My Cousin Vinny (cracks me up each time!!!); Jumping Jack Flash; Steel Magnolias; To Kill A Mockingbird; Braveheart; Pushing Tin, Serendipity....ANYTHING with JOHN CUSACK in it. He is SOOO HOT!!!
Television
News junkie, House, Grey's Anatomy, Law & Order-even all the old re-runs, Boston Legal- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE James Spader & William Shatner's characters. I don't watch too much TV, but when I have the chance these are the shows I like to watch.
Books
All time FAVORITE book is To Kill a Mockingbird...I just LOVE Atticus Finch..my hero!!! Anything and Everything by James Patterson!!!! Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons, Andy Stanley, Ann Rule, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, D.H. Lawrence, I enjoy all the old classics and have read a lot of them more than once.
Heroes
"Someday you'll meet somone who will make you understand why it never worked with anyone else"
"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
-Mahatama Gandhi
Hmmm. My heroes are generally strong willed people who are willing to pursue their dreams and don't give a damn what anybody thinks. Those that are willing to take chances and cast aside their fears. Most definitely my son, Gordon!

I’ll bet you will never meet anyone like me. I'm constantly thinking about things that most people don’t give a darn. When I meet someone new, I will always know almost instantly, if I’m going to like them or not. It's not that I’m snobby, but I can usually tell if someone is a good person or not. People that are independent and creative totally catch my attention. Surrounding yourself with people that aren't positive influences will only bring you down in life. So I try my hardest to keep the best closest. I look at life as one big opportunity. There are always things to learn and grow from.
I change my mind often. I am a person of action. I can be very impulsive. I'll try anything at least once. I'm a thinker and analyze everything. I love getting into people's heads and figuring out the psychology behind their behavior. I'm great at sifting through any kind of BS so don't even try.:-) I welcome any challenge, always fight for what I want...usually end up getting it. I'm the type of person who cracks up out loud about something that happened last week. I'm almost always smiling. My glass is always half full and if yours isn't, I'll convince you otherwise. I'm great with people and have the ability to either make you really uncomfortable or love me...your choice. I have the most amazing and greatest friends. I'd travel year round if I could.
Me in a couple of years if I don't get some of the kittens adopted!!!!!
Anyone looking to adopt any REALLY SWEET AND LOVABLE kittens?
Hurry, I am growing TOO attached to them!!!!
"Sometimes you need to make a big mistake to make things right ... mistakes are painful but they're the only way to figure out who you are. - Grey's Anatomy"
God put me on this Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now, I am so far behind I will never die.
"I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you that you love, well, that's just fabulous." --Carrie Bradshaw, Sex & The City
I'm just a laid-back gal who loves livin' life...and enjoying all that it has to offer.
I am into anything Celtic.

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose a chance to make them. ~Francesco Guicciardini.
This video makes me smile!!
"When you get into a tight place
and everything goes against you,
till it seems as though you could not
hold on a minute longer,
never give up then,
for that is just the place and time
that the tide will
turn."
(Harriet Beecher Stowe)
