About Me

Proud, bustin' my buttons, 63 y.y. (years young) grandmother to my 3 y.o. rascal of a granddaughter, Asha. Still heartbroken over the loss of my soul mate on Memorial Day 2008. Have one daughter, one sister, 2 loyal friends, many acquaintances, and my tall, dark, handsome senior-citizen cat, Louie. In the past have done prison outreach, mentoring for a homeless family, and as an activity aide at a hospital. Retired as of 10/16/2009 -- YAY! Started this new life off with a short cruise (my first) to Mexico.

Quirky sense of humor. I'll always laugh with you, never at you. Judgment's not a big part of my vocabulary. Trust? You've got it right off the bat; your actions determine whether or not you keep it.

Love thrift shops, journalling, adding to intention board; not necessarily in that order. Also, have a real jones for the Internet.

Favorite Music

Los Temerarios (Si Tu Te Vas), Kumbia Kings (Los Duetos); Soul, R&B, Alternative, Classical, Rock and Roll, Il Divo (not sure what category they fit into, but they can be my boytoys anytime). Cannot abide chants of any type, scatting or really loud head-banging stuff.

Favorite Books

Non-Fiction (Self-Help, Women's Health), Fiction (no Romance please). Iris Johansen's suspense novels are my guilty pleasure and, currently, the 4 books of The Twilight Saga -- still haven't read "Breaking Dawn" only 'cause I don't want to be done with these just yet.

Favorite Movies

Anything with Johnny Depp or Cate Blanchett. Slumdog Millionaire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Atonement, Brokeback Mountain, The Duchess, Leaving Las Vegas, Dark Knight, Passage to India, Enchanted April, Pride and Prejudice, Howard's End

Favorite Television

Weeds, Dexter, Nurse Jackie, Survivor, Amazing Race, The Biggest Loser, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, PBS, Tyra Banks, America's Top Model, Gordon Ramsay, Cold Case, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Dancing with the Stars, Saving Grace. Up 'til now I've been a diehard Big Brother fan, but just cannot stomach that muscle-bound Jesse AGAIN.

Favorite Crafts

Scrapbooking, ATC's, and whimsey jars.

Things I Like to Collect

Hummingbirds: No, not the critter. Already have several ornaments, a desk clock, framed pictures, windchimes (3) and that's what my screensaver is currently. There's a story behind this which I'll save for another time.

Cat and ocean-related Figurines: Ceramic, glass and wood.

Chicano/Brown Pride items: No, I'm not Chicana but this is an homage to my bf. I'm pretty much open to ideas on this.

Stickers: NO KAWAII or HELLO KITTY please, as I'm really maxed out on these. Really like anything Mrs. Grossman or Disney-related.

Postcards, postcards and then postcards -- surprise me.

Bollywood (Anything): I was a fan even before "Slumdog Millionaire" kicked butt at the Academy Awards. Have sat through many a 2-3 hour Hindi movie (with subtitles, of course).

TWILIGHT stuff: Edward and Bella give forever an even better twist.

Dragonflies now intrigue me, so I guess I'll start collecting almost anything related to them.

Special Request!!

I would appreciate not receiving any #1 ratings unless you've first checked with me as to whether or not the item is on the way. In case of items that "disappear" en route (which happened on something I sent) I'd like a chance to make things right. Thanks so much.
