mishap

My name is Julie Happy and I live in Jacksonville, Florida.

My last name is Happy, and I am! but I cry on everything! music, movies, cartoons and even McDonalds commercials. ( just ask my friends who dare go see a movie with me and my towel )

3 kids 13, 21, 28. One brand new fairy grand child. Married to Mr. Happy ;) We own a boring composites business, but sleeping with the boss has its perks!

I love living in Florida and so I love vintage Florida anything, especially things about Weeki Wachee Springs and the Weeki Wachee mermaids,Silver Springs and Johnny Weismueller as Tarzan. I have an autographed cook book by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings who wrote the yearling. It is from 1942. My great great great aunt was her companion.

I love southern food ( not exclusively ) grits and greens and country fried steak, yum yum so I can't eat it often! I cook like a pro, try new recipes weekly.

Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, UB40 and Ska , Phantom of the Opera,Gypsy Kings, aboriginal music.

Jane Eyre is my favorite book ever! abridged ,unabridged love them all

I also loved the Notebook and The First Ladies Detective Agency and Chocolat.

I read all of the Harry Potters and loved all of them and the movies. Best bonding with my kids ever as they all 3 loved them.

The Whale Rider is probably my favorite movie. If you have not seen this movie, stop, find it and be amazed. There is a reason Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for an Oscar!

Lagaan, Chocolat, Jane Eyre ( with William Hurt ) Rabbit Proof Fence, Full Monty, Something New ( my movie I watch to cheer me up when I rarely need it ), Beauty Shop, all the Harry Potters!

Survivor ( OK, I am RIDICULOUS!) I decorate my family room for Survivor, I have immunity idols that I have made and my sister and my dad carved me one from a tree trunk and I have a decorated tiki torch, lol , because as long as you have fire your still in the game. )( and no I don't light in the family room) tee hee

( and I don't care if that's ridiculous, I have FUN! )

What Not To Wear, some shows on HGTV and cooking shows ( diners drive inns and dives , the best thing I ever ate, chopped)

collage ATC's , that sadly is it. Can't draw, can't paint, can't sew, really can't do things like crochet or knit! I really wish I had skills, I have lots of ideas but just can't make them come to fruition, but I will keep on trying. Maybe I will meet someone on here who "get" me. pointers welcome.

I have 8 acres with a ridiculous amount of weeds with some really cool plants stuck here and there. My two favorite plants are a Banana Magnolia that smells like banana pudding and my lemon grass.

Although I hate to shop, and I am not a material person, I do love expensive perfumes! Angel, Very Irresitable, Seductively Poison, Dolce and Gabana # 10! I always smell good!

other things that give me a warm fuzzy: the smell of rain, gorgeous ATC'S, Tarzan, pug dogs, margaritas ( but not Jimmy Buffet ) didgeridoo music, foreign films, vintage images,people who have art skills

The only thing I dislike is people who try to intimidate you with religion or shove it down your throat, anything political and above all any kind of prejudice !

I hate to be picky and petty so I won't be too picky however I will say I am not into cutesy things, no goth no religious please. I guess I really love vintage and romantic!

I have enjoyed being on this website very much and been in some awesome swaps. Thanks to everyone who has ever made something for me!
