My Self-Summary

I am the mother of three wonderful children that mean the world to me. A very close second to them is my love for all kinds of music, which I know I will be typing about later. The three words above pretty much sum me up. I am a very caring person who tries to show that in everything I do. I normally just go with the flow of life, although I not so sure that is a good thing. I'm easy going, but do what needs to be done to take care of myself and my little ones. Through life experiences I have learned to stand up for myself and do what makes me happy. That doesn't mean that I don't want to make the people around me happy. On the contrary... I want nothing more than to find the right person to share the ups and downs of life with and do my best to keep him smiling.

What I’m doing with my life

I am hoping that I am raising my little ones to be the best people they can be, but always being a good example is difficult. We are always doing something... riding bikes, throwing frizbees, molding play-doh, reading stories, cleaning up boo-boos, you name it. I received my degree in music education and voice way back in 1999. I am a classically trained singer, but definitely sing along with the radio. I am also currently a private music teacher of piano and voice. It is wonderful to bring the gift of music to people. This summer I am returning to school to begin my masters degree in music education and to renew my teaching certificate. I've been playing the piano at my church and have joined their some choir. I am happy to be back at the church that I grew up at.

I’m really good at

... not bragging about myself, lol. Ummmm... of course singing and playing the piano. I get lots of compliments on the goodies that I bake. I'm not sure what else to say, I guess you'll just have to find out for yourself.

The first things people usually notice about me

Physically, my eyes seem to stand out, as well as my small stature. As a person, I think my kindness and sense of humor come through quickly.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I want to read many of the classics that I've never sat down to read. I think that the last thing I read was the Harry Potter series and enjoyed them very much.
I enjoy most movies from action to chick flicks. Nothing to gory though, blah.
My list of favorite music could keep you reading for days. Right now I am loving Jason Mraz and Matt Nathanson. Old favorites include Sting, Billy Joel, Queen, Harry Connick, Jr., Genesis... and on and on and on.
Good food is good food : )

The six things I could never do without

1. My little ones
2. Physical touch
3. MUSIC Did I forget to mention that one? LOL
4. Milky Way Bars
5. Sunshine
6. Quiet time

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Oh so many things... lately I've been thinking about what the future will bring as I embark on my master's degree. I am always wondering if I will someday discover the right person that will not only want to be in my life but also in my children's life.

On a typical Friday night I am

Sigh... BORING, lol. I've been going to the movies alone (yes, I said ALONE) every once in a while, but it's not so bad. Yeah, that's what I keep trying to tell myself. It's really like any other night of the week. I might be playing my keyboard, watching music videos on youtube, whatever.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

HAHAHAHAHA ;)

You should message me if

... you are actually interested in a relationship and not to just break people's hearts. Been there, done with that... I hope. I am truly looking for someone that is willing to have not only me in his life, but me children as well. That is proving to be a difficult thing to find. But all three of them are here, and there's nothing I can do about it, lol.
