About Me

I am married and we have a six year old dog (English Setter) that we spoil rotten. We also have three cats that prefer to spend their time outside. I enjoy cooking but, according to my husband, I cannot keep a house plant alive. While I don't have the greenest thumb, it does not stop me from trying! I like to garden anyways. I love to travel but I equally love to stay at home and curl up with a good book. I play the piano and the flute. I like playing poker, too. My husband and I take ballroom dancing lessons. Our favorites are the tango, salsa, cha cha and rumba. Brad's mom gave us a gift certificate to the local dance studio for Christmas 2006 and we really enjoyed it so we signed up for more. I do a lot of volunteer work locally and will usually be seen helping out at auctions, golf tournaments, Habitat for Humanity, and other charitable events. I also enjoy watching the birds in my yard eat at the bird feeders. I feed them year round and it is so peaceful. I am not an expert on birds but I do know I have several blue birds, cardinals and woodpeckers.

Favorite Music

I really am open to everything. I love all kinds of dance music - especially songs that I can use to practice ballroom dancing (tango, rumba, salsa, cha cha and swing). I also love 80's pop and hair bands, deathstars, christian, top 40, latin, rap, country, southern rock and classic rock.

Favorite Television

I am addicted to The Hills and Rock of Love II. I don't usually have time or discipline to follow a TV series but I have tried to keep up with The Office and My Name is Earl.

Favorite Crafts

I love to quilt. I am a machine quilter and I use a rotary cutter to cut my material. My mom and I have a gigantic quilting machine that we use to finish our quilts. I do know how to hand quilt - I just don't believe I have the patience for it. Once I participated in a local heritage day with my quilt guild. I had to sit and demonstrate hand quilting. Hopefully the viewers didn't know what was going on and didn't notice that I kept stabbing myself with the needle!

I also like photography (despite the fact that my husband is a professional photographer).

Favorite Books

Labyrinth and Sepulchre by Kate Mosse, Marley and Me by John Grogan, books by Jodi Picoult and Dorthea Benton Frank.

Things I Would Enjoy

Vintage paper * Interesting cotton fabric * Photos * Flower Seeds * Recipes (I love to bake) * Ghost Stories * Interesting Stickers (currently looking for stickers of wine bottles and wine themed stickers)

The No List

I tend to not use lotions that are perfumed - I have allergies and can't use a lot of things from Bath & Body. Along the same lines no bath gels, bubble bath and soaps unless natural and organic. That's it :)

Comment: Great journal :-) You ate lots of fruit! That is the one thing I keep "forgetting" to eat. Although... right now we have locally grown strawberries, so I am enjoying those. And soon... BLUEBERRIES! I agree that it is so hard to eat out. I annoyed many a waitperson while doing the challenge... asking specifics about the food and where it came from and so on. Thank you again for the great journal!
