Some Things About Me

Random Things about me:

I love art. I especially love Art History.

I went to school for two years at SMU, sometimes I have a desire to return to school, mostly I just think how thankful I am to not have to live the student life anymore. Also, I never cheer for the Stangs...I am a Longhorn fan! I bleed orange baby! Just kidding, I really don't care one way or the other. But if SMU and UT were playing, I would still go Orange.

I like all kinds of music. I listen to music almost every day. I like rap music too...who woulda thought...but I have to change the channel most of the time, because I hate it when songs have dirty words...I can listen to The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but only in small doses. I love the Dixie Chicks, Train, Daughtry and Nora Jones. I really love late 80's alternative and some 90's music. I normally do not know words to songs, I just kind of mumble and stutter until I get to some words I know.

I enjoy long trips through the countryside. It brings back sweet memories of travelling with my late grandparents. I love them and miss them so.

I secretly hate holidays. All of them. Except my birthday...that one is the best. No better day than when you are "The Birthday Girl"!

Rubrium Lily (Stargazer) is my favorite flower. Their scent is heavenly and they are beautiful.

Oh yeah, I love to color. I love a nice new box of colors. I just recently bought the 96 box and dared my kids to touch it. Some things are just for mama, right? My husband thought I was a loon when we first got married and I sat down for a nice night of coloring. LOL!

I spent New Year's Eve 1999-2000 playing Age of Empires with my sweetheart. No bunker hunkering for us...we just sat on our duffs and pretended we were Kings/Queens of the world. Nerds unite!

I want to be an actress when I grow up.

When I was younger I loved to go to concerts. I have seen the following in concert:

The Cure - Dallas, TX 1989
Depeche Mode - Dallas Tx 1995
Violent Femmes*
Crowded House*
Tripping Daisy*
Eve's Plum*
Pearl Jam - Austin, TX 1995? Can't remember when. But it was crazy!
Michael McLean - LDS composer/singer (which of these things is not like the others?)
Dixie Chicks, Indigo Girls, Ben Folds - Charlotte, NC 2003

*all from Edgefest 1994 Dallas, TX

That is all for now...gotta leave some mystery!

Nu-uh! The Cure?

My oldest friend and college roomie had a poster of the cure dude...robert? on our wall. She loved Kiss as a kid. I think she likes make up.

Now you've done it. I must make my own list of concerts!!

LOVE pearl jam concerts!!! He is way tamer on stage now than he was in the 90s. My husband is a die hard fan and hooked me.

My 9 yo loves rap. You should try listening to KJ52. You would probably love him! And no nasty lyrics! Also Toby Mac. "Boomin" rocks.

It was fun learning more about my friend alana!

So fun to learn more about you! Too fun on the coloring too. :) I know when I used to color with Kiersten she would be long gone and I would be still their just enjoying my coloring! And you know if you move to Asheville (wink wink!) we have lots of cool concerts around here! I too love music and especially the undiscovered artists!
