| Introduction | Starting over isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be, but isn't a walk in the park either. I've never been on my own, and it scared the heck out of me to even consider it. But I've learned in these last few months what real friends really are and how important family really can be. Like a lot of things, you don't miss it until it's gone. When I got divorced in June 2008, I never considered what it would be like to lose the "family" that had been mine for 20 yrs. The inlaws were part of the package, but never something you think about until you suddenly don't belong anywhere. I'm lucky and blessed to have two wonderful girls, who amaze me daily as I watch them grow into the young women I've always dreamed of them being. I have friends who support me and care. They make me belong again. |

Current faves: Sweeney Todd, P.S. I Love You, Iron Man, Leatherheads, Eastern Promises, Under The Tuscan Sun, Gladiator, Unfaithful, Oceans 11, Pineapple Express, In Bruges, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, |
| Favorite music | Just about everything. I get attached to artists and songs more often than I cling to genres and style. I'm a Garth Brooks fan, but I like Rock and Pop and Blues, and everything else too. I love live music. in no particular order (ok the random order my iTunes used today) Garth Brooks, Rob McNelley, Kevin McKendree, Sarah MacLachlan, Reba McEntire (Garth needs to "Mc" his name to fit in it seems), Rob Thomas, John Mayer (trio stuff esp), Josh Groban, Chris Botti, Sugarland, Leann Rimes, Marc Broussard, Keb Mo, Edwin McCain, Darius Rucker |
| Favorite books | Anything by Diana Gabaldon, Barry Eisler, Lee Child, Dan Brown, Christine Warren, Lyndsay Sands. The Eragon series. |
Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?
I think the Knife and Spoon had a little too much tequila one night, and gave in to the moonlight and hence the evidence of their love can scoop and stab with the best of them.
