I am a nursing student living in central Florida, on the Atlantic coast near the Kennedy Space Center and also quite near all the attractions: Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, Daytona Beach, Cocoa Beach, etc..etc...as you can imagine, everyone we know from everywhere else wants to come visit us and stay in our guestroom..hahaha...

I am a mom of 4 (mostly grown) kids, 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 was a DJ at a radio station as a profession for many years, majoring in mass communication... Music is a passion for me, and I can't imagine life without it!! I am moving into a new profession as a nurse, since the money and security of radio jobs is not so great.

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"...

I Love...

Bath stuff/soaps and lotions

The colors Black, Pink, Green, Purple

English/Irish/Scottish stuff

Music/musical themed stuff

And, I have 2 mini-dachshunds, a boy and a girl, (yes, weiner dogs), so I love Weenie Dog themed stuff as well... And finally, I am absolutely OBSESSED with HELLO KITTY. I have no explanation for this, but I cannot help myself...

keep in mind, I am pretty easy to please, and I know how thrift stores are..sometimes you just find something so great, you can't believe it! If you just find something like that, not on the list, that is great! I am very easy to please, so feel free to stray from the list...It is just a few suggestions for you...

Thanks!! I can hardly wait to see the treasures you find!
