My Husband ~ Chris - We have had some rough times but he is so good to me. I never expected to find someone that would just take on my kids like he has either. Their own father might get mad but he is their dad. We have a good life - things are coming together and though our relationship isnt perfect - its very good. We came into it as friends and we really still are. I know sometimes he'd rather go out with the guys but its cool taht we can go out together - that we choose to because we are also friends. Its cool that we can sit down and debate issues and both enjoy it and its good that we can dedicate our Sundays to football. I really think that I have all that Ive ever dreamed of.
Here we go.. Football baby! I love football - some may laugh but Im a HUGE Lions fan and even better than that I think that Joey is the man. Thats right, Joey Harrington is the man and you'll all see it this year. Or.. I'll eat my words. :) Im not a football gamer but I do watch it - quite a bit and not just Lions. I also have 6 fantasy teams - only one is paid that we formed this year so that I could whoop on everyone I talked shit to last year including my husband, my brother, 3 good friends of ours and 6 other people I dont really know. My son plays football for Pop Warner and my daughter (the oldest) is a cheerleader for Pop Warner. My husband is also the coach of my sons team. Its a family thing - my parents all Lions fans, my oldest sister a die-hard Green Bay fan, her husband also a Lions fan. What can I say..
A pen and paper ~ I couldnt live without them. I love to write... poems, just little things I cant say I guess. I have no idea anymore how many things Ive written. I have some poems on here, some on various sites, stories on various sites and boxes and stacks of both all around here. That is my escape. If I could choose my career for the rest of my life, I would write music. I have no idea though how in the hell to even get into that though. But as much as I love music and writing, that is a dream for me. Maybe I will one day..
As I said I LOVE music.... more than anything in the world... well... except rain. To me there is nothing better than a warm rainy summer night with the radio blastin and bare feet in the puddles. I want to live near the ocean one day... I love to dance in the rain. I love all kinds of music really but I have to admit Matchbox 20 is probably one of my favorites. Rob Thomas is awesome... AWESOME! I respect him so much. His writing, his singing, and when I seen him playing the piano on VH1's storytellers ~ he blew my mind. Music is my escape from reality... I couldnt live without music.. seriously... so I try to sing and dance but they kinda fit into that dork thing that I do to make people smile..
Going away ~ I don't think that theres any better feeling really than packing up your car and going far away to a place youve never been.. getting away for a little while. I always say Im just going to get up and leave someday.. I really will.. I swear... Just to go somewhere, doesnt have to be a big city for me or very exciting. I need nature though - its just me.
Love... love is awesome - to see it is great, to feel it is amazing. A lot of people mistake love though, when you trutly experience love, everything suddenly becomes beautiful. Everything begins to really matter and you want to change the whole world. If everyone really experienced love, the world would be a much more beautiful place.
Dreams, wishes, fantasies ~ the sixth sense... the whole psychic thing - it fascinates me. I bought a pair of jingle bells (ankle bracelet that jingles) years ago that I recently gave to a friend of mine because I got new ones, I wore them for years, every day and swore they were good luck to me. Im very superstitious too.
Genealogy and history are cool (maybe Im a geek) but they interest me. I like to learn about how things used to be and my family history. No one really knows too much about that so its kind of like a mystery to solve.
I get lost in the fantasy world too. Im about to get my first tattoo of a fairy on my foot. It all started because someone I know got me playing Everquest years ago and I got hooked. I havent played for over a year (I feel like an alcoholic saying that) but I still write and I love fairys and elves.
RAIN.... I can't believe I forgot rain... Summer rain is sooooo cool!! Just to sit outside in the rain on a summer night ~ the sound of it is just sooo relaxing... the smell of it, the feel of it on your skin ~ kinda sexy maybe. Ok so it is.. I LOVE the rain!
CHOCOLATE.. I GOTTA have chocolate!! I went for 3 years without a man.. I cant live without chocolate...
My jingle bells (so I don't have bad luck).
Candles... good smellin candles - kewl ones that are all weird, and pretty ones too.
Oh... and hugs from my kids.... They will never know how many times when I am holding them that they are actually holding me *smiles* And amazingly the sound of children. When they are all sleepin or not here I feel empty. I love to see them smile and laugh (not just my kids but all of them). I suppose children are one of my addictions too - I couldnt live without them.
