Introduction Well, I've been married for 27 years...did I really just say that? Wow! I am old...We have 5 kids~ Vanessa is 26, Calah is 21, Mackenzie is 18, Kian (our son) is 9 and our daughter Reagan who passed away in 2004 when she was 12 days old. I went to 12 schools in 12 years and I have made some amazing friends along the way! Some I have lost track of and some are still in my life; but I have wonderful memories of times spent with them. I am truly blessed! I am pretty good at doing the dishes, keeping a journal, painting (walls not portraits) and I make my Mom's potato salad which is legendary in some circles~~ When I was 15 my parents took us camping for a month. We were actually homeless, but I didn't realize that until I was in my 30's.
Interests Hockey Rules! Hawaii really is paradise...I love books and music. I was on the Vicki show (uh, remember Vicki Lawrence?) I have always wanted to win an Academy Award but now I am waiting for the juicy character roles..Ha! I can't go to sleep at night until I have read. I have always wanted to build a Habitat for Humanity house. I have a small crush on Mitt Romney...Isn't he DREAMY?? Incompetence drives me insane. Marilyn Monroe's beauty and talent have been overshadowed by the sensationalism of her death. I love eating popcorn in the movie theatre, Round Table and Donato's pizza, Robert Redford in "Barefoot in the Park", road trips, "Wicked the Musical" and paper towels. I don't really care for Hillary Clinton, white chocolate (please...), mushrooms, people who complain constantly, Phoenix in the summer time, CSI:Miami, small spaces or Charles Dickens.
