Music
Music is one of the windows to the soul. Everyone dances to his or her own beat. My particular beat runs the gamut from classical to metal. I typically listen to classical when I am studying or meditating. Metal is for those times when it is either bang my head - - or the head of the person I am REALLY mad at. The in between tunes are generally dictated by one of two things: 1) My mood or 2) My company. I am not a dedicated fan of one particular person, band or genre - - It is totally dependant on the actual song.
NOTE: In order to hear the music, you must click on the player below, then click 'Play' to listen to music.

Books
CHECK OUT MY SHELFARI VIRTUAL BOOKCASE TO SEE ALL OF THE BOOKS I HAVE READ!!
I like knowing who is thinking about me enough to visit my page - - SO SMILE, DARLIN'!! Your Presence Has Just Been Noted!!
According to my “Stalking Tracker,” most of the people who check out my page already know most of the basic details “About Me.”
For my Peeps that already know 'bout me......I will try to make this a fun page for you to visit!!
For those of you who are new to my page, I will give you a nice snapshot of “ME!”
While making this page, I enjoyed the music posted in the MP3 player on the other side of this page. All you have to do to enjoy the tunage is hit the play button!!
Are you comfy and ready to get started?
Great....Let the adventure begin......
The Month I annually celebrate the aging process:
Have you ever walked down the street and seen a couple who is so in love....you just wanna puke?
Yeah, that woulda been My Husband and I. {Next time you see us, don't just roll your eyes......stop and say "Hi!"}
I am living the Fairytale: The Princess who found her Prince Charming.
What's more, I have five children. Yes, I said FIVE! Do they all biologically belong to me? Nope! But you know what? They ALL have to tolerate me, 'cause I am married to their Daddy!! HA HA HA!! In any case:
Identity is usually attached to a significant other, children and/or a career.....One and Two are covered - - that leaves Three: Career. Currently, I am a stay at home Mom and I homeschool my youngest daughter.
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to meet new people and reconnect with old friends.
If you think we have similar values/interests and I don’t already know you, send me a message, stating your intentions.

We miss you and James and hope you had a great holiday filled with fun and fireworks. We did. Went on a friends sailboat to see a show on the inner harbor of the bay in baltimore. So awesome. Love you
