I am a 39year-old (not sure when that happened, because I feel like I'm still 23) woman, transplanted from all over to a suburb of Chattanooga TN. I'm married to my best friend (hokey I know, but true) and work from home doing medical transcription. Since my work does not really allow for much creativity, I enjoy spending my free time with more fun, creative endeavors.

I have been on a vampire kick lately, but I am a little freaked out that so many of them are listed under ROMANCE. I enjoy reading "mindscrubbers" in between vampire books to cleanse my mental palate. Most of these are much more serious, literary type novels.

Wow, with so many to choose from, it's really hard to limit myself to a favorite. I love to draw, sew, craft, make jewelry, etc. It's something that takes me away when my day-to-day life is just dragging me down. I enjoy creating for others rather than myself and love to give away handmade gits (just ask my friends and family). I also enjoy seeing into the creative minds of others by seeing their artwork.

wiener dogs (I have three - Craig and Bella and their baby Ozzy).

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (I grew up in suburban New Jersey and would cut school, take the train into the city and go to the Met - kinda dorky - most kids cut school to party, but I go to a museum).

All vampire movies - even the really, really bad stinky ones.

well - never met a candy I didn't like

romance novels

western movies- although oddly enough I like cowboy and western stuff

the humidity in the south (I live in Georgia)

Capodimonte - my grandmother's house was filled with the stuff

lemon desserts - yet still like lemon candy

getting bills in the mail (and nothing else)

grocery shopping

most abstract art (I guess I am just too literal minded to try to "see" what the artist means - I kinda like to know that it's a girl with a yellow bonnet holding a lamb)

Civil War memorabilia - I live near the Chickamauga Battlefield and there is not a shortage of Civil War stuff around - just bores me to tears

incense - makes me sneeze

Hummers - what a waste of gas

Anything grape flavored - I was a sickly kid and had to take Dimetapp (yep, grape flavored) A LOT.

super serious people - I know not everything is a joke, but for Pete's sake, lighten up already

Well - it has come to my attention (via not being able to wear any of my clothes and getting winded just going up a flight of stairs) that my butt is getting enormous. And not in a rap music video girl way. So, I have decided to go back on a diet and start working out. So far so good. But did I mention that this sucks. I will try to keep my no carb having bitchy comments to a minimum. I will try to take all my frustrations out on crappy drivers instead. LOL.
