Ok, this should be fun.

I am a Taurus, a wife, a mother. I am a grieving daughter, having lost my mom. I am recovering from surgery. I'm an office manager, and a part time house cleaner (for other folks). I am owned by a retired police dog named Ziras, who is currently dying of lymphoma. I am a mate in the summer for my husband's charter fishing business. I am a genealogist. I am a friend and a sister. I'd say that I'm a niece, but I really don't keep up with extended family. I am lonely and bored (at the present time).

I am a chocolate lover and a coffee lover. My favorite food is Japanese and I wish I could learn how to cook it well. My favorite color is orange, and my favorite number is 13. I dream of winning the lottery. I dream of being a home owner. I dream of traveling. I dream of having my mom back. I hope that my kids will be successful. I hope that I'm at least half as good a wife to my husband as he is a husband to me. I hope that my kids love me as much as I loved my mom. I hope that my best friend recovers quickly from an accident she was in. I hope that my dog dies in his sleep peacefully rather than our having to ease his journey.

I want to be able to play the piano. I want to learn to scuba dive. I want to learn how to sew. I want to go back to school and finish my degree.

I love it when my husband wears a short sleeved t-shirt over a long-john shirt with the sleeves pushed up just a little bit. I love 70 degree weather, but I also love snow. Probably because we don't get much here. I love sunrises and sunsets. I love to fish, crab & clam. I love the beach. I love to read.

I live on an island. I live in a rented home that needs new carpet. I live with my husband and two of my three children. I have a child in college that I miss desperately. I live across the street from my best friend. I live in a peaceful community.

Okay, that's about all I can think of. Next?

I am an Aries all the way-outspoken, opinionated, smart but also giving, loving, and emotional and strong.
I was raised totally Italian and Catholic.
My biggest regret in life is not having the had the perspective of knowing how blessed I was as a child and teenager.
I love my son more than anything and I miss him every single day.
I have a plan for everything from escaping an abduction to what I'm giving for Christmas next year
I am very organized and neat
I love to cook and to eat
I thank God every day for my creature comforts as well as for giving me the sense to appreciate life

I love to laugh and I love to cry and I do both as often as possible!

I am a Gemini. I can be stubborn (the Swede in me) when needed. I am a wife to a pretty good guy, and mother to 2 girls and a yellow lab. I hate living in NY, and would jump at the chance to live someplace else (ie WARMER). I wish I could play the piano as well, even tho I own a baby grand. I have been at the same job now for 18 years, must be I like it. I live in the country and would NEVER go back to living in the city EVER. I like to garden (veggies and flowers) but hate to clean the house. I love drinking mudslides, but give me a good Merlot and I'd drink the whole bottle. I don't eat a lot of red meat, but look out when I get a craving for a juicy cheeseburger. (usually happens every few months) I am also a BIG Lucille Ball fan, I could watch reruns of I Love Lucy every day and never ever get tired of them. I love camping and can't wait for warmer weather so we can open up our trailer and get ready for summer. I can't drive a stick shift. Tried twice and ended up in tears both times. I cannot draw or paint, but can write in Calligraphy quite well. I am self taught in cake decorating, and have had a wedding cake published in a wedding magazine. This year I will be making the biggest wedding cake I have ever done, 300+ people. I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

Yes.. In March 2007 I broke my 2nd toe on my left foot and it got gangrene and I had it removed. Now my left foot looks kinda like a cartoon foot

I am....
A teacher that LOVES her job!
Going to become a CASA volunteer this year
A music lover
A bad boy lover
An animal lover
A hippie at heart

I love....
My children and family
My job
My life
My music
Coca~Cola
The sound of a laughing child
Being barefoot
The feeling of sunshine on my shoulders
Staying home on a rainy day and watching life time movies
The constant hugs a Kindergarten teacher receives!
Listening to a child read a book for the first time!
Johnny Depp
Lenny Kravitz
The ocean
Amusement parks
Nature
Ground Pati
shoes
The Christmas Season
Driving with the music up and the sunroof open, wind flapping my hair all over

I regret...
Nothing

I hate...
Growing old
Crime

I fear...
Elevators
Rats
Growing old

I laugh...
Everyday, and hard!

I cry...
When I sing "I hope you dance" to my 3 week old Grand Daughter
For a lot of sappy reasons

I wish....
There was more time to do what I want to do.

Smurfgirl - you like acting?! Other than other school/acting pals, I hardly ever meet other acting junkies.
I graduated from AADA in NYC in 1980 (or was it 81, middle age mind melt is my excuse at this point ;-)
It has always been a large part of my soul, look forward to the day when the kids need me less so I can back to it, in any form.
It's just so much darned fun, isn't it? 8^D

Coffee is way more important than it should be in my life.
I play piano
I teach piano
I write piano music
I accompany the senior citizen choir in my town
I play at church
When in my 20's I played in bars and finer restaurants - made the most money per hour that I've ever made since!
I love to make things look pretty - even a pile of folded laundry
I love to play webkinz arcade games
I love my friends
I love my family like crazy
I think I've become more religious as I've aged
I love being home - the best thing to me is having a snow day and being stuck here!
I edit my DH's writing - then he gives it to a REAL editor...
I had perfect attendance in high school
I love my hair
I need to go back to weight watchers!

Oh, how I wish we had something like that here!!! We do have a community college about 45 minutes away...maybe I'll have to suggest a class like that. What a terrific idea!

Thanks, sweetie. He's truly a wonderful guy. He was 8 in December. He dropped 20 pounds in three weeks over the summer, and the local vet couldn't figure out what was going on. My best friend and I drove him three hours away to the UNC Vet Hospital where they discovered the lymphoma. The local papers heard about him and did a story, and we received enough donations (Ziras was a police dog in our county, so he really means a lot to our community) to be able to put him through four months of chemo. Unfortunately, he relapsed New Year's Eve. He relapsed so quickly after going into remission, the vets don't believe it's in his best interest to begin chemo again. While he doesn't seem to be in pain right now, he's doing a LOT of sleeping and somehow, I get the feeling that he's just hanging on waiting for me to get better so that he can continue on his journey. I'm really going to miss him. He has been a joy to our family.

I LOVE the names of your cats!!! I don't like opening cans of biscuits either, I close my eyes when I'm opening it...... I still jump when it pops open.
