I love to dance. I won awards for dancing back in the 70's. Dancing is in the blood. Our dad was a number one Limbo dancer and won all the contest he entered. Our Aunt was a great dancer as well, she even had the chance to dance with Gene Kelly. Our great-grandfather was a dance instructor (we never had a chance to see him dance). My sister and brother were always number one at the disco dances (yes, long ago, but hey we were young *smile*, but were rock n' rollers). Dancing is in the blood. We are all self taught dancers.
About me. Things I love and enjoy! Probably more then you want to know ...
I love traveling in my car with the music blasting. I've been known to be headed to a certain destination and I've gone right by it because the tunes were too good to turn off. When I am in cruise mode, I'm not slowin down. Yes, I've missed exits and turn offs because I wasn't paying attention (I didn't want to get out of the hammer lane 75 m.p.h. +). You give me good tunes and I can cruise forever and ever and ever!
I luv cruising in my Dodge Ram - Hemi pick up truck (I got a new truck after all). I wasn't going to get a new truck, but I saw that baby sitting on the lot and I knew I had to have it! I love my truck!!!!
I now have my 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ. My Grand Prix is my baby. I've only been waiting on my guys to get her ready for hmmmmmmm 6 yrs.. Right now she's sitting in the garage collecting dust :-( There just isn't enough hours in a day to do all you want to do.
Other things I like are, trucking in the big rig from time to time, reading, watching TV, dancing, remodeling, decorating, good movies, good food (seafood & steaks),and my non-profit organization.
My all time favorite place to be is anywhere there is water and peace. I love the ocean. I especially love the sound of water ..... I get excited over thunder storms and pouring rain! I love the sound of water so much that this year ~2007~ I finally talked hubby into a small pond out back. It's great for winding down in the evenings!
I am not a material type person. Although I like nice things, they are not what are important to me. What is more important to me over material items are my photo's of family, friends and special occasions. Don't mess with my photo's!
I do like to dress up from time to time, but I am not a candle light or rose kind of person. And I don't like roses! I love carnations.
Give me a baggy shirt, jeans, sweats and bare feet and I am happy! I like good parties from time to time (can't even remember the last party I was at that wasn't a drag! Friends are getting old and trying to live up to a certain image I guess, but boy can some of those parties be BORING!)
I can drink beer, but it is not tops on my list. I am a whiskey drinker 100%. I don't drink alot or often, but when I do I prefer whiskey over beer ask my sister *LOL*!). I like to spend my time with friends, where the music is good, the conversation is interesting, funny or dirty talk and everyone is having a great time! I will leave a party where there is a fight or it is just in a dull mode! It's gotta be hoppin for me to stay.
I do like to be remembered on my birthday a simple "Happy Birthday" and card make me happy. Gifts and parties make me happy to, but I'm not going to break down and cry if it happens I don't get one :-) Three occasions that are important to me are anniversaries, birthdays and Christmas ... any other day is just another day to me!
I love my family ... all my family! My non-profit organization is one of my many top priorities. I love designing homepages and graphics. I spend a lot of time designing homepages for myself and others. I'm pretty mellow & easy going most times, but there are times when I don't mind letting my hair down and having fun!
My hubby has been a truck driver for 39 years. I don't actually know how many miles are under his belt, but it's a lot. Trucking has sure caused me alot of stress over the years worrying about everything from the money,fuel and weather. Now I spend my time worrying about three out on the road during the winter. Two of our sons also drive big rig. The only time you don't worry is on the weekends. They drive for their dad and I. Good, hard workers.
I have three wonderful sons. They get on my nerves from time to time, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. I will go to great lengths for my boys. My boys are my world. I am so lucky to have them!
I have my beautiful grand children Mykayla, Dakota, Summer, Audrina and our newest addition Sayre. I also have my handsome stepson Robby. All of them are beautiful!
"I love Cats!!!" I am known in town as the cat lady ... And they are all spoiled rotten too! Here are photos of my baby's inside. I will be sharing photos of the baby's I take care of outside in my photo album later on.
The babys I care for outside are so cool. There use to be 8 of them, now there are 15 of them. People just drop 'em off here and I take care of them. No I don't know they drop 'em off until I see a baby roaming around crying outside. Then I tuck them under my wing. I have dry food and water out there all day and night. I feed them canned food twice a day. They have access to the basement in case it rains outside. I have a umbrella over their food and water so they can eat without the sun beating on them. Even though they are outside I spoil them just as much as my inside cats. I want to bring them in, but hubby gave me a choice, the cats or him.
It does get costly caring for all of them, 17 I have inside and the 15 outside. Yes I do take the outside cats to the vet if they are sick and I spend the money to have them fixed. I know I’m nuts, but it's better that they get to live, verses harm coming to them because someone else didn't want the damn responsibility.
I found out about myspace through my son (the Slipknot nut!). I can keep an eye on my kiddo while he's playing in here ... It’s been a lot of fun because I’ve made a lot of new friends along the way.
My son, well he’s very verbal and outspoken. Many times I am ask by family members and some outsiders why I don't put my foot down on what he listens to. It's just music and they are just words. It's not like he don't hear them every where he goes. I don't know anyone who doesn’t cuss from time to time (including myself). I am not going to interfer with his chance to explore and his freedom of choice. Yes, some of the music he listens to is really nasty, but it is just music. I didn't say I like the music, but he does like the music. I like my music which he can’t stand half the time either, but we take turns listening to each others music and putting up with it.
Strange how some adults can call some of the music cool, funny and laugh at the lyrics when they are listening to it, but let a kid listen to it and that is a whole different story. I've never seen or known so many hypocrites in my whole life. Funny how certain things are ok for some, but not for others. I do put my foot down most times, but you know you can't shelter them from the real world every single day of the week. I personally feel this world is molding kids to be the way the world thinks and wants them to be. They are not allowing kids to be who they are or want to be. As long as there is no physical harm or injury being done to others what does it matter? I say to all, "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!"
I find it amazing how now that I am a grown up everyone around me seems to know what is best for me and what is not? Now a days we all have so many mothers and fathers who seem to know everything that is good for us, and bad for us. No one gave a damn when I was a kid growing up. But now everyone is an authority on what's good for me or what's wrong for me. Again I say, "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS". People I don't even know, never met, seem to think they know everything that's right/wrong for me. Don't you just get sick of watching the news and hearing all the things that are wrong with us? We're too fat, too thin, a bunch of drinkers and dopers. We shouldn’t smoke, we can’t drive, we don’t know how to save etc. They are the experts who seem to know how everything I chose in my life is bad for the world. Truth is I enjoy doing everything they say is bad for me and the world. If I give it all up GUESS WHAT? I'll die! My money, my body, my life yet the world is an authority on what's good and what's bad for me. I use to have this saying and it still holds true .... "I MAY NOT ALWAYS BE PERFECT, BUT I AM ALWAYS ME" ... GET OVER IT!!!
We took this photo during the convoy to Washington, D.C. 4/28/2008. This was taken out the back window of my pickup truck. The flag is attached to the hitch of my truck. There were no changes made. I just added glitter text to the photo.
