Hmmm... where to start... reading, writing, music, comedy, improv, the outdoors, softball, basketball, hockey, travelling, photography, politics... there isn't TOO much I'm NOT interested in!
Music
I love all kinds of music... not so big on opera, but other than that I like a little bit of everything... rock, oldies, country, folk, alternative... a lot of my favorites are indie artists ... Four Schillings Short, Anne Deming, Jennifer Marks, Tricia Alexander... and lots lots more... but I also love Cat Stevens, John Denver, Queen, Aerosmith, Alanis Morisette, Eminem, Bob Dylan, Jewel... I guess I have diverse tastes! Also, I have just discovered Vance Gilbert, who is absolutely incredible!
Movies
My favorite movies are comedies and suspense... but I like a little bit of everything as far as movies go, too. Some of my current faves are Phat Girls, Superbad, Saw I II & III, the Scary Movie movies... lots of others, too, I just can't think of them right now!
Television
I never, ever, EVER miss American Idol during the season... Kathi and I could never live without our Idol nights together! House is on my list of Can't Miss Shows, too, and Family Guy. I never really thought about it til now, but I guess I'm a Fox girl! lol Anything funny or drama related, though, is good... again, lots of variety. Variety is the spice of life!
Books
I adore the written word... so pretty much any book'll do. I love Torey Hayden and Jennifer Weiner, particularily, and am having a new-found love affair with a poet named Denise Duhamel. I have to admit, as vain and egotistic as it sounds, I do also enjoy reading my own writing! lol Right now I am reading a book that has the inaugural addresses of all our presidents... hard reading, in the early years, but very interesting.
Heroes
My heroes are the underdogs of the world... anyone who has ever had to struggle but has made their way in the world anyway is a hero to me!

About me: Let's see... My favorite things to do are read, write, and laugh. I spend almost all of my time with my friends. There are way too many things I could say about myself, and since in general, I usually DO say way too much about myself, I'll leave some secrets here...
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone! Everyone! Whoever! I like to meet all kinds of people, especially creative souls.
Join Us at the 2009 NAAFA Fashion Show & Auction Dinner
Enjoy plus-size fashions at their best while you help support and celebrate 40 years of size acceptance advocacy efforts at the 2009 NAAFA Fashion Show on July 31, 2009!
This year Washington DC will take its place as the leading plus-size fashion capital of the world as we bring you the NAAFA 2009 Fashion Show & Auction Dinner being held on Friday, July 31, 2009, at the Dulles Airport Marriott. NAAFA is the world's oldest, largest civil rights organization working to improve the lives of people of size. We turn forty years old this year and are going strong with the strength we need to build a new future. This major fund raising event for our organization will feature food, fashion, music and our well known Not-So-Silent Auction.
Plus size fashion designers from around the country will present their latest collections of inspired designs. These talented designers have a sincere desire to see women return to the truth within themselves as expressed through what they wear, giving women of any age and size the opportunity to be truly fabulous. We are happy to announce that we have award winning makeup artist, Maisie Dunbar, to assist our volunteer model participants with their makeup and hair stylists from Paul Mitchell The School Virginia to finish their looks.
Be sure to bring your wallets, checkbooks and credit cards as we will showcase vendors of fashion, accessories and furniture--all catering to the plus size audience.
The event begins with dinner at 7pm on Friday, July 31, 2009. Tickets to this exciting fund raising event are $75 each for the entire fashion-filled evening and may be purchased through July 26, 2009 online by going to http://www.naafaonlin

Hi Emily, We really want to thank you for being our myspace friend, we feel so blessed that we could find so many people that are willing to help us spread the mission of Petlane to enhance the lives of pet's and their people. It is so hard in this economy to find inexpensive ways to network ourselves, and we appreciate all of the people of the U.P. and surrounding areas that are helping us increase the word. Even though Petlane is infact a direct sales company it's not all about "selling" it's about sharing! We share information on being a pet parent, we share the opportunity to earn free products, and we share the way to earn extra cash while having fun with other pet parents, (and that can't hurt with the job market around these parts)! No fancy words, gimmicks, or pushy salespeople, only the highest quality experience, and products available in the Pet industry all which Petlane stands behind with a 100% satisfaction guarentee. We also wanted to write to you to share that right now is an EXCELLENT time to join Petlane, because every one is wore out from tax season, Petlane Home Office is going to PAY THE TAX on all new Pet Advisor kits until May 31, 2009! But as your Pet Advisors right now we are here to help with any of your pet parenting questions or concerns. If you have any interest in seeing our products in person let us know we can set-up a private showing, or a party for all your friends, you can also see and purchase our products at any time via our website at www.petlane.com/KBC If your not interested or don't have time right now please consider passing our information on to anyone you think may be interested! Thanks so much for your continued support, and again we really appreciate the opportunity to network with you, Your Pet Advisors ~Kim & Rick~
