I now live in "The Sunshine State"--this will be my.first Florida Christmas..I am quite homesick for the snow and chill of the Midwest winter.. : (

I am a mom of 4 who loves getting surprises, but also loves GIVING them..I am a person who spends an inordinate amount of time commiserating over the details of a gift..I think it's a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (haha)...I have two mini dachshund puppies and I am a DJ at a radio station as a profession. Music is a passion for me, and I can't imagine life without it!!

I love Blues and Jazz, but I am very VERY musical, and really love all music...all of my children play musical instruments, my oldest son is 25 and is a professional musician, so you can't go wrong for music with me..I love it all.

I really love reading!!!!!I am a HUGE fan of British murder mysteries, I love Ruth Rendell, Deborah Crombie, MC Beaton, and Elizabeth George, among others. I recently discovered an author named James Lee Burke, whose main character is a New Orleans cop, and his writing is so prolific, you can just feel yourself in his scenarios. Can you tell I am an English Minor? I have a Master's degree in Communication....Reading and writing have always been a passion of mine, and I am pretty open to most literature.

I love reality police shows, like "First 48" and "Crime 360"..I am also a huge Seinfeld fan, and I miss it..Love the reruns, though..it never gets old! I really really REALLY love the show "Little Britain" on BBC America...I recommend it if you haven't seen it..you will laugh till you pee.

I like suspense movies, and comedies. I loved "Pulp Fiction", "Borat," "The Hangover" and "The Others"...and many, many more..

I love jewelry, socks, mittens, purses, and quirky, gothic/pagan themed items...I really enjoy "wiccan" or witchcraft themed items.

I love anything quirky and occult/pagan themed... such as: Witches/witch related items

Stars..star shaped things, etc...

Things made from Nature (twigs, sea glass, stones, etc..)

Star/Moon themed items

Gothic stuff

Anything "sparkly"...(I am like a magpie)

I love Moonstones! (my favorite jewelry/stone)

Useful things, like bags, purses, tote bags, baskets, things I can "show off"...
