    ..My Mom & Dad..--they met one day and got married the next...and were happily married for 48 years. They were the most wonderful parents and friends anyone could have ever wanted. They've both been gone for many years now but I love and miss them terribly every single day.

    ..Shelby..--my little baby girl who's now all grown up and is spreading her wings. She helps me to be a better person, reminds me how to be myself and not ever apologize for it, and who forever teaches me how to laugh. She is the epitome of unconditional love.

    ..Savannah..---Ah, my strong child who is opinionated and never fears saying what she thinks. She is my biggest defender and will slice down anyone who messes with her mother. My wonderful daughter who's taught me about fearless living.

    ..Noah..---My grandson who loves who he loves and does so without reservation. He has shown me just what the depth of my love can really be...and he makes me feel joy simply by existing.

    ..Chad..---My newest son who likes what he likes and is perfectly okay that no one else thinks he should. He's taught me that it IS possible to love another child, even if you didn't give birth to them. He IS my son, he just didn't come into my life until he was 10.

    And last but certainly not least:

    ..My Husband, Richie..--the most wonderful man, father and husband on earth. He loves me deeply, unconditionally and without reservation. His loyalty, honesty, and the way he takes care of me give me peace. He loves me just as I am! Finally I know, without a doubt, where I will spend my forever...by his side.

    "We come to love
    not by finding
    a perfect person,
    but by learning to see
    an imperfect person perfectly.
    "

About me:

Let's see...Let me try the short and sweet version for a change:

LOVES: coffee, my camera, LAS VEGAS, Diet Mt. Dew, music/lyrics, NHRA drag racing, scrapbooking/card making, pretty papers, ATCs, margaritas, laughing, flip-flops, the English language, bumpersticker philosophy, blackjack, deep thinkers, open-minded people, smell of fresh cut grass, clean sheets on freshly shaven legs, ice cold corona w/ lime, recycling, tattoos, black & white photography, museums, sushi, quotations, matchbooks, sewing/knitting/crafts, the Arkansas Razorbacks!, the beach, books, playing cards.

HATES: liars, bad drivers, cheats, self-centered people, small children [except my baby Noah], the phone, racism/sexism, stereotypes, religious zealots, country music, what republicans have done to our country, dirty fingernails, slow drivers in the fast lane, the war in Iraq, stupidity, calamari, violence, wastefulness, big ol' SUVs/trucks, $4.00 a gallon gasoline, not having a recycling program in this podunk Alabama town.

PHILOSOPHIES: I know first-hand that love at first sight exists (it happened for my parents and it happened for me!) and believe wholeheartedly in soul-mates and monogamy. I have a raunchy and sometimes morbid sense of humor; am extremely competitive; live my life with ..no.. regrets; and am quite certain that Karma is very real. I don't believe in any of the thousands of gods that man has invented over the history of the world. I believe that gays and lesbians SHOULD have the right to marry [if you believe that marriage is "sacred", get divorce outlawed, don't stop those in love from marrying!] I believe that abortion should remain legal and the government should stay out of it. I believe that OJ is guilty as hell and that the West Memphis 3 are undeniably innocent!

What it really boils down to is that I'm just a girl, no different than any other girl, I just happen to have finally found a boy, the RIGHT boy...the very one I was born to love, and we are living the dream of happily ever after and doing it one day at a time...together. ..

Who I'd like to meet:

Although I don't feel the need to meet anyone (my life is full of wonderful family and friends), I'm always open to meeting new, openminded, free-thinking, interesting, and kind people. There just doesn't seem to be many of those around these days. If you happen to be one of the few, I'm up for it...let's talk.

One time around the sun
another year older and my work ain't done
it's time for me to write the final chapter

    Did Anyone Ever Tell You How Important You Make Others Feel
    Somebody out here is Smiling About Love that is so Real
    Did Anyone Ever Tell You that Many Times When They were Sad Your E-mail made Them Smile a bit
    In Fact It made Them Glad For the Time You Spend Sending Things And Sharing whatever You Find
    There are No Words to Thank You
    But Somebody, Thinks You're Fine
    Did Anyone Ever Tell You Just How Much They Love You
    Well, My Dearest Friend Today I am Telling You
    I HOPE I GET THIS BACK
    I believe that without a friend you are missing out on a lot!!!
    But don't just send it back, send it on to everyone...
    Have a nice day, and I'm glad we are friends!!!
    Lotsa love to YOU from ME!!!

    President George W. Bush is hit by a strong case of constipation. He sends his Spanish secretary, who knows little English, to the local hospital. She tells the doctor, "Big President Bush, no shit.
    "

    The doctor understands and gives him some medicine to take with him.


    The next day, the secretary comes back again and says, "Big President, no shit.
    "

    The doctor gives him even stronger medicine. A few days later, the secretary comes yet again and says, "Big President, big no shit.
    "

    The doctor gives him the strongest medicine he has.


    The next day, the secretary comes back to the doctor and says, "Ba-Boom! Big shit, no President.
    " just wanted to say hi and bring a smile to ur face
