Introduction I am a very proud Navy Wife. A mother of 3 teens. I am teaching myself to play the guitar, and REteaching myself to play the piano. MAN you forget a lot in 10 years! I love my life, more or less. Everyone has days when they don't I'm sure, but at the end of the day... I have wondeful kids who are going to be amazing adults someday, I have an awesome husband who is the love of my life, and I am very proud to be his wife! This life we have together is a difficult one at times when he is away at Sea and I am home with the kids by myself, but I would not trade it for anything...
Interests Reading, music, writing, people...
Favorite Movies The Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria, Ella Enchated, The Princess Diaries, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (also a good book series!), Thelma & Louise, Chocolat, Pirates of the Carribean... Yeah, I like girl movies, and musicals. I like anything with Julie Andrews. Man I wish I could sing like that! I love Johnny Depp movies...
Favorite Music I do not like the crap they play on the radio... I like things like Tony Bennett, I like Johnny Cash, I like the Dixie Chicks (Al says it is not fair of me to expect people to listen to the Dixie Chicks every time they get into my truck...But, you see, it is MY truck!)
Favorite Books Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood - Rebecca Wells, Shantaram - Gregory David Roberts (soon to be a new Johnny Depp movie...cannot wait!), I have read all of Rosamunde Pilcher's books, and can't really pick a favorite (Maybe... The Carousel...), I have read almost all of Maeve Binchy's books (a favorite? Nights of Rain and Stars!), I really like Catherine Coulter, but not the sappy, silly romances, I like the FBI series, and have read most of those. I guess, if it has words in it, I will most likely read it...

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?

Because blood has a metallic taste due to the elements in it.
