Ben and Jerry’s Choc Brownie ice cream. • What would you do if you had a million dollars? **Help my family and friends (I know, duh). **Support no-kill animal shelters … it’s that or adopt every stray!

Favorite Movies Must Love Dogs, 34 Charing Cross Road, Mamma Mia (but the stage musical is WAY better), Sense & Sensiblity, You've Got Mail, Shawn of the Dead (I know but its just so FUNNY and guys love it!), The Notebook (but only with a box of kleenex near by), Titanic, The Lake House, Hope Floats
Favorite Music LOL--I'm ALL over the place on this one ... SERIOUSLY all over! My favorite music depends on my mood. I can go Classical (mostly Baroque and Chamber); Country (Alan Jackson and Shania and Sugarland); ROCK (Fleetwood Mac-The Stones-Georgia Satellites-Creedence-No Doubt); Christian Inspiration (AMY GRANT-Steven Curtis Champman-Sandi Patti); Broadway (Les Miserables-Phantom-Mamma Mia). Right now my "car" tunes include "Best of Britney" (I saw you cringe, now cut it out ... Oops & Baby One More Time rock a road trip; "Everytime" makes me cry); and soundtracks from Mamma Mia and Grease ... 'cause girls just wanna have FUN!
Favorite Books Currently reading: Do You Think I'm Beautiful by Angela Thomas. Just Not That Into You and Its Just a Freaking Date were humorous and thought-provoking. Henry Cloud and John Townsend have scads of books worth reading (life skills blended with a Christian focus ... or is it the other way around?). The Davinci Code was a real page turner for me; couldn't put it down! Salems Lot by Stephen King was UBER scary, but luved it anyway-HA!
