Here I Am!

I'm all about attitude, just like the Web site -- some days, my attitude is better than others!  But I honestly believe that we get out of life what we put into it ... so I'm going to keep finding ways to look on the bright side.  Just call me Pollyanna (yes, I watched a lot of Disney movies when I was growing up ... I still love That Darn Cat and Parent Trap)

What I Have To Say

  • An apple a day...

    ...is not only an old wives' tale, it's a delicious idea! I love apples, especially the tart kinds like Granny Smith and Fuji. I keep them in the fridge, so I can grab one for a quick snack whenever a craving hits.But this recipe I am about to share with...

    Are you really a hot chick, or just some old dude hiding behind a hot chick's photo?

    Thanks for the tip in your vlog about the story you guys were working on - I just checked out the video of Randy the volunteer and it was great. Mark and I will have to visit the gardens one of these days and hopefully we'll get to meet Randy while we are there. Very inspiring piece!

Still Not Enough?

Interests

Writing, reading, working out. I love to sing ... surf the internet ... I'm a news junkie. Playing with my dogs ... swimming ... I am learning to love cooking. I thought I hated it -- I even said so in a previous version of my profile -- but what I now know is that I hate cooking without a recipe. If I have something I can follow, then I really enjoy it. :)


Books

Just finished "The Corrections" from Jonathan Franzen. I'm in the middle of "Leap!" by Sara Davidson. I love anything by Nora Roberts or Iris Johansen. And some recent favorites include "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert and "The Secret."


Foods

Yum ... anything made with, from, near chocolate. Especially dark chocolate. Dark chocolate that's been frozen. Dark chocolate that has been frozen, on top of cookies and cream ice cream. Dark chocolate that has been frozen, on top of cookies and cream ice cream with a cup of cappuccino on the side. Should I continue?


Music

Hip hop, top 40 ... I'm still a Britney Spears fan, I can't help myself!! Classic rock ... I love Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Credence Clearwater Revival, Huey Lewis and the News, Van Morrison, Jackson Browne. I love Billy Joel!! I'm a big fan of musicals, especially Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Closer Than Ever, Movin' Out, Working, Anything Goes, Music Man and Guys And Dolls.


Movies

The Cutting Edge
To Kill A Mockingbird
Die Hard ... all of them!
Office Space
Anything with Brad Pitt or Matt Damon


Television

I'm a news junkie, so I typically watch local news in the morning and at least part of The Today Show. At night, I am a slave to the DVR. I watch lots of shows on tape: No Reservations, Iron Chef, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, etc. The Office, Law and Order (any of them), Kitchen Nightmares, MTV documentaries, and more.


Passions/Hobbies

I love to write, as you can tell from my blogs. I love to sing and perform, although I haven't done it publicly in a while. I like to dance.


Heroes

Jackie Shaner Carlin, Oprah, Bernadette Peters, Ed Hochuli, Tom Brady, Curt Schilling. And Fred the Fitness Guy. Check out his profile -- amazing!!
