About me: I dig music. I am not on drugs. I wish everyday at 11:11.
I can't sing. I LOVE to sing.
I dance around my house in my unders, singing all of my favorites.
I think we all have the right to smoke, especially when shooting pool, and watching rock shows.
I am a car dancer. not like Tawny Kitaen no we like to get down at stop lights.
I have the Coolest Kids on the Planet: Del Hawkin Kidtronik Mann- He loves music. Obsessively. He's two. Also, Vera Lou Tapola, she's been here for a month, and she's amazing. Being a mom is rad.
Who I'd like to meet: Check out the Madison Music Foundry! They pretty much have everything you need; hourly and monthly rehearsal space, music lessons, recording studio, and youth workshops. Check it out:
COME TO THIS SHOW!
"I'm just tryin' to stay human being, sitting in the sun eating ice cream..." I cannot wait to hang out on the patio and drink beers and smoke cigs this Summer. I hope the house is treating you guys well!
whoa look at me i am on myspace. its been awhile since i been on here. just like a while since i ve heard from ya. how are things. are you rockin the maternity look pretty hardcore??
I'm alright, a little upset right now. I had my wisdom tooth pulled yesterday and now my lip is all swollen and I had to call into work today. grrr. I miss you too...was really starting to get a complex that you don't like me since I never see you or my brother. Devon has a cast on his hand now...to stretch the scar tissue so that he doesn't have problems later on in life. Other than that, just been working and taking care of the little man. How's my little neice growing? You know, you should invite us to come visit soon because I'd love to rub that belly of yours. Miss you lots.
and you missed a great show. i'll have to tell you about it. i picked up there cd to. very good. hanging is a must, it's matter of when, i might downtown this weekend, maybe i'll just swing over
I miss you too. How's life been? How's Del? Everything is coming up roses on my end. I'm going out on the ocean right now, so I'll say "Hi" to it for you.
