about me
I am so excited about this website.
I love music, and I have been listening to music and dancing to it for as long as I can remember. I grew up in Eden, North Carolina, in the country, until I was 12 years old, before moving to San Antonio, Texas. I was raised on Country Music and Folk Music. I grew-up watching "Hee-Haw" and "American Bandstand." Country Music has gotten me through so many events in my life, and as a "latch-key" kid it kept me company, when I spent so much time alone. Even though I haven't met or came close to too many country music artists, I feel as though I know them all like family. Country music has changed alot over the years, but I still love the new country as much as I still love the old country.
I truly believe "if you are not pretty on the inside, you are not pretty on the outside." In other words, if you are kind, honest, giving, and caring on the inside, then you are pretty on the outside as well, regardless of your physical features on the outside.
My personal thoughts:
"Love is not about appearances or physical features... love is truly what is within an individual, and that love has to be compatible with the interior not the exterior of another individual."
I want to make it understood, that even though I make friends with males and females alike, I AM HAPPILY MARRIED to my second husband. Jim is my loving and handsome best-friend, my husband, who is average height, 6'0.
I do work a full time job as an office manager/graphic designer. I create and help coordinate programs for a very large religious organization. My job gives me the opportunity to use my creative personality and talents.
interests
General
My favorite color is purple of course, and I absolutely love collecting teddybears and listening to music! I enjoy emailing and internet surfing.
Activities
I love spending all my free time with my husband, Jim, fishing, watching nature, animals, hiking, biking, dancing, and making friends.
Music
I have been listening and dancing to music, since I was a little gal! I love to dance! My first serious encounter with music that really attracted me was when I first saw the "Monkees" on television, and then getting my first double album of theirs "Barrel of Monkees", which I still have in the original cover. I love that double album and I use to dance to it over and over again. Then, I started playing my mama's records, and was introduced to Aretha Franklin, the Spinners, Creedence Clear Water Revival, John Denver, Willie Nelson, Jim Croce, Neil Sedeka, etc. I would dance for hours to those records. I can live without television, but not without music! My taste in music is just like when you crave different types of food. I listen to all types... it all depends on what I am craving at the moment. I mostly crave music from my childhood memories in my home state of North Carolina, filled with blues, bluegrass, country/gospel, and folk. I have such fond memories of the music festivals I attended there as a child. I enjoy the Povertyneck Hillbillies, and I really hate that they split up. They remind me of my roots from back home in the North Carolina hills, as a little girl running barefoot through the woods and creeks, and singing all the way. I also like Kelly Pickler, a back home country gal like me.
I enjoy country artists like Rascal Flatts, Gary Allan, George Strait, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Steve Holy, Merle Haggard, Marty Stuart, Conway Twitty, Patsy Kline, Pure Prairie League, etc. I enjoy a little Bluegrass, like they played when I use to visit the Smokey Mountains as a little girl, like Alison Krauss. I love music, and I LOVE TO DANCE!!!!
Movies
My favorite movies are "Little Darlings" (with Tatem O'Neal &; Kristy McNichol), "Stand by Me", "Dr. Dolittle I and II", "Home Alone I &; II", "Serving Sara", "Return to Me", and "Perfect Storm."
TV
I don't watch a heck of alot of television; however, my favorite show is "Little People, Big World". My husband, Jim and I love to watch "That 70"s Show" (reruns) for a good laugh. Sports are a big thing at my house. Jim holds the remote at all times.... so, sports always come first, even sometimes before ME. Honestly! We love the "The Penguins", we have been to two games and a practice as well.
Books
I recently finished Taylor Hicks' book "Heart Full of Soul" and I truly enjoyed it. I like self help books that deal with relationships. I am also into books of true adventures and encounters in the wilderness like "A Walk in the Woods", which is a true story about the adventures of a guy and his friend that try to walk the entire Appalachian Trail; "Tuesday's With Morrie" is a great book by the way! One of my all time favorites is "Island of the Blue Dolphins", which I read when I was a young girl.
Food
I have to have a constant supply of "Diet Pepsi", "Cinnamon Sun Chips", "Goldfish" Pretzels, fruit and veggies (except turnip greens and sauer crout). My favorite place to eat is anywhere that serves Mexican foods! I love pizza and italian hoagies; pulled-pork, and brisket, but I have to limit those things.
