Now what movies don't I like? I don't know if there are many... I like romances (of course), comedies, action movies, suspense, thrillers (no outright horrors, though). My favourite, I think, is The Notebook, though I've only actually been able to watch it once... I also love fantasy movies, such as Lord Of The Rings, and The Chronicles of Narnia and Spiderwick, etc. I find they're a good way to escape for just a little while...
MUSIC
I love the "golden oldies" from the early '60's onward, you know, the doo-wop and Motown and bubble gum stuff. Don't care much for rap or heavy or "alternative" stuff. I also have a lot of more recent stuff on my computer and MP3 - a real mix! I'll listen to it all!
BOOKS
Reading, for me, is a favourite pastime. However I usually don't find much time to read when I'm at home, as there are usually other things to occupy my time. However I love to read on planes, and sometimes before bed for just a little while...
MY FAVORITE COLOR
I love surrounding myself with the colour any way possible...
My PINK laptop!!
.....and my PINK Blackberry!!
MY FAVORITE FOOD
My favourite foods! Alas, there isn't just one favourite... I guess if I had to choose just one, it would be "everything".
I love all seafoods, especially shellfish, and salads - Greek, Caesar, Cobb, Chef, Nicoise, etc., etc. LOVE steaks (hubby makes me the very BEST filet mignon)!! And chicken and pork and duck and, and...
Did I mention that I
I love nearly all vegetables!
Love, love, love cheese!
Oh, and let's not forget ice cream!
Love, love, LOVE chocolate and peanut butter ice cream!!
January 9: We're in England again, same place as before Christmas - Stansted! We arrived here on the 5th, and currently expect to be here until about the end of February. After that... we're not sure where we'll end up... Maybe a vacation at our condo in Maui for a bit, or maybe back to work on another project, who knows where...
Let me take this opportunity to tell every one of you, my friends, how much I cherish and treasure your friendships!! Thank you!
Wherever we go, I'm always online, and staying in touch.

ABOUT ME
It took a while, but I finally got it right... I remarried for the second time just a few short years ago, in August 2006, to a guy who I absolutely adore, and have felt the same way about since we met in the spring of '98. He truly is the "love of my life", and my best friend, lover, confidante, sun-in-my-sky...
We have five kids, three married, one getting married in 2010, and the youngest not yet in a committed relationship.
I'm a very young Nana. I now have six grandchildren, five of which are girls. I married young and had children when I was young. Our oldest granddaughter is 15, the next is 14, then 10, 6 and 2 months; and our grandson just turned 2 in June. How time flies!
Please meet Madelynn Sierra, the newest little addition to our family. She was born on November 4th, weighed 9 lbs 1 oz, and was 21 in. long. Big brother, Ryan, and mommy and daddy are absolutely thrilled that she's finally arrived, safe and sound.
Hubby and I live in a townhouse that we've renovated to suit our lifestyle, and looks somewhat like an Italian villa inside. We got our 'Tuscan' inspiration for our decorating from our vacation in Italy immediately after buying our home.
Neither of us are 'winter' people - we hate the cold, snow, and anything that goes along with anything winter... Therefore, we had been looking for a 'winter' home, someplace warm. We finally found our winter home in Maui this past fall, and now have a cute little condo that we plan to fix up the way we like it. We have no plans to rent it out when we're not there, but when we're 'in residence', we'll welcome family and friends to visit with us, and enjoy a little aloha!
I retired from being an Office Manager/EA with a small company, in early 2007. Hubby and I travel around the world (a lot) for his business as a rep for an aircraft leasing company. He works, I tag along to keep him company, and to keep our marriage strong. My ‘job’ is to spend the money that he earns (just kidding!)!
What else would you like to know about me? Just ask, and I can tell ya! Seems I've always got something to say...

WHAT I LIKE
I like so much of everything! I see the wine glass as "half full".
I love to travel, read, spend time with my family and friends.
I like to walk, I like to laugh and make others laugh, and I like to nap some days...
I like to see new things and new places, even though I'm a self-proclaimed "chicken" when it comes to some things.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
is much easier to describe...
I don't like whiners or narrow-minded, critical, judgmental people. Nor people who are pessimists, or complainers who don't do something about what they complain about (some just don't stop complaining about every little thing), those who won't bother to listen to another opinion or point of view with an open mind.
I don't like road rage, or people with little patience... and I don't like grumps!
HOBBIES
I love to crochet afghans for family and friends... I've recently finished five and now I'm working on one for a silent auction for the Run For the Cure in May. My Angel (eldest granddaughter), and my two daughters still each want one... I think I'll be busy with them for some time...
Brittany's 'rollercoaster'
Katelynne's 'flower garden'
Jolie's 'ferris wheel'
Rick's 'man-size' afghan
I love to travel, and do that a LOT (I don't really know if that really qualifies as a 'hobby', though).
Reading is a great way for me to relax, and sometimes transport myself to another place and time for a little while...
I love a little amateur photography every now and then - I have thousands of photos of everywhere and everything!
LOVE playin' on my computer (and sometimes I even use it for 'work'...)!
I love entertaining family and friends, or just hanging with them, having a beer, or a cocktail, and good conversation... is that a hobby?
Hello my friend, fifty per cent chance of rain today. Very cloudy in Norfolk. I had such a busy week-end that I'm glad to be back to work so I can rest. The chocolate Irish whiskey cake turned out delicious. Brisket was done to perfection. Hope you have a nice Monday...
for any length of time, and I haven't explained where I am in the "News and Announcements" section, please check with my good friend
