It's all. .^ . Just Kidding! Family is really important to me. My folks live nearby & I visit when I can. The rest of my family is on the east coast & in Washington state, so I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. Thank God for email! I'm single & enjoying it. I have four "kids" - My giant malamute & 3 cats (The 2 "kittens" are now 1 1/2 & 2, so I guess they're full fledged Cats now) which I have a blast watching. They are all endlessly entertaining & keep me laughing. (When they're not shredding the curtains & breaking my good knik knaks!)

People who like to laugh! I enjoy a good discussion of import as long as no one takes themselves too seriously & appreciates everyone's right to their own opinion. A dry wit & turn of a good phrase are one of life's delights.

I like hanging out with friends, going to the movies, checking out some of the wide array of great local music & attending the many festivals in & around Tucson. Especially Tucson Meet Yourself, The Blues Festival and the 4th Avenue Street Fairs. More often than not though, I'm at home with my beasties, watching movies, jammin' to some tunes or reading a great book.
I'm Still sorting through things to fill up my new storage shed, yikes! What a lot of work! But once I get some room back in the house I can redecorate! Whee!

I LOVE movies! Music of all types, & great mystery books. I enjoy entertaining/cooking & making jewelry.
And, of course, I love cruising around on SodaHead, making SodaFriends.

My Mom, who is currently working hard to survive breast cancer. She never lets anything but a smile on her face through all the pain & worry.
My Dad, who suffers horribly through RA, COPD & a benign brain tumor & now cancer, yet keeps his wicked sense of humor.
And my late brother who, while dying of brain cancer, spent every moment he could encouraging the hospital staff to hold fast to their faith & live life as there were no tomorrow. I found out recently that during the 5 years after he died, many of the staff who had sons named them after my bro. That's quite an an honor!
