Ah, the definition of "me"...I'm a 40 yo mostly SAHM with 4 daughters. I live in Colorado. I enjoy outdoorsy activities. Fitness is important to me. I believe in the power of positive thoughts. I am very spiritual. I lean toward a "Zen Catholic" approach. I collect some religious items like small statues & prayer cards. I like some spectator sports: Pittsburgh teams -Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, Pitt Panthers basketball and my alma mater University of Colorado Buffaloes football. World Cup Soccer is also good. Scent is also important to me... memories are associated with certain scents.

I like alot of different kinds of music; it depends on my mood. 40's music, classical, metal, christian, 60's, musicals, pop, punk, 80's, disco, country. yes, even some rap. world, indie, bluegrass, etc etc etc. My very favorites, though, are Grateful Dead, Ani DiFranco, Frank Sinatra.

Garden State, The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Departed, West Side Story

Really I don't like t.v. I thinks it's a waste of time...except when Big Love or Grey's Anatomy are on. If I have to watch t.v., I also have to be doing something with my hands...knitting, usually.

knitting, crocheting, sewing, jewelry making. ATCs, I am dabbling in collage & painting/drawing. Refashioning. My motto is "Create or perish". Creativity keeps me sane. I like all colors as long as they are vibrant & rich -jewel tones especially appeal to me. I am a visual/tactile learner and prefer those type of crafts. I enjoy cooking & I'm good at it...is that a craft?

any children's books with excellent illustrations AND decent stories. I abhor junky children's books. I mostly read non-fiction of the spirituality, crafting, poli-sci, sociology types. Cookbooks are good too (is that weird?). Classic fiction works over modern fiction.
