["with the band" 1]

1. What does your handle mean?

(That's my dream - being with the band - I write lyrics and would love to hook up with one of my favorite artists - like Kid Rock to write songs)

2. What book are you currently reading, or did you last read?

The Path of Prayer and another book - A million little pieces

3. What do you do for a living?

I am a Poetry Artist - I do exhibits of my work and sell my work at shows. I write commission work for people and do a lot of donations to silent auctions, etc.

My whole existence has been a Quest to "Get Famous" for my poetry and artwork. I insist and crave this before I die. I do not want to go the way of so many artists and only claim fame after death.....I want it now while I can see it and enjoy it. There is nothing I like better than being in attendance at an exhibit of my poetry art and be able to see the reaction from the crowd....it is worth everything.

4. For what in your life are you most grateful?

God and the gift of Poetry that he graced my life with and ~

My husband Don with whom I share true great romantic love (another thing I really wanted in this lifetime).

5. What's one thing about you that you think would surprise other people?

(I can really put on the work face - I am sooooo different in person than the persona I can create for the situation at hand for the job to get done). I am really really funny and quite a peacemaker - I can assimilate to any situation and can really get people to tell me literally anything.

6. One word to describe yourself?

vivacious

7. One word others use to describe you?

nice

8. Would you rather play a game with someone better or worse at it than you?

better

9. Favorite movie?

The Other Side of Midnight (Susan Sarandon 1977)

Favorite show?

Hands Down - LOST - ADDICTED TO IT!!!!!!! Can hardly wait each week for Wednesday to roll around. I love the character Sawyer (Always a sucker for a bad boy - Good Grief is he HOT!!!!!!!!)

Favorite Singer? (Added my own)

KID ROCK - I love his way about mixing things up. If I could meet anyone in the world it would be him - hands down!!!!! (People find this quite weird about me - one would never figure!!!!)

10. Something unusual about yourself?

I have great perception. I have seen direct miracles happen in response to prayer and I feel a great connection to the spiritual part of people. I make instant connections to people and they totally lose their gaurd with me. My husband can never get over it still after 20+ years of being around me.

When I was young I saw my husband with another friend (from gradeschool) and I was jealous for some reason - didn't understand it then - but now realize it was because i was jealous of someone being with my future husband. I firmly believe that we knew each other before...

1. Doinit4me- My handle means that my band was a decision that I made that had no benefit for anyone but myself. I came to a point in my life where I wanted to be healthier and skinnier. I know the outcome will have benefits for DH and my two daughters, but ultimatley, I just did it for myself.

2. I just finished A million little pieces by James Grey, and before that, A girls guide to Fishing and Hunting.

3. Im a Lockheed Martin contractor for the Federal Aviation Administration.

4. I am most grateful for God, who has guided me on an amazing journey. My DH, who has been an awsome companion for the last 13 years of this journey, and my daughters, who light up my life, and sometimes dump a pail of Water on it!

5. I think it would suprise other people that I would love to adopt a son. I am one of 5 daughters, and I grew up with just my mom and sisters. My girls are wonderful, but I would love to have a son too. I don't want any more babies, as I am enjoying a life that doesn't ALWAYS revolve around my children. It's a dream I have never really persued, but really should, before I am 35. Maybe that will be my next goal.

6. One word.. Some day's Perfectionist.... Some days Slacker.....Just depends I guess.

7. Just depends I guess.......
