About Me

I'm a self-employed mother of 5 boys. I've been married for 27 years. We own our home, pay our taxes, and cross our fingers hoping no one gets sick because we haven't been able to afford health insurance since Bush took office.

In October of 2001 our premium went from $150. a month to $450. The latest quote for my family is $1250. That's why I'm passionate about this issue. Health care for profit must stop.

Basically, I describe myself as a Christian and although I believe in something divine that I think of as God, I do not believe that the Bible or the Koran or the Book of Mormon, are "the words of God". I swear some people actually think God took pen to paper and wrote it himself. Others say these books "are inspired by God" but so was Jim Jones, David Koresh, and even Aleister Crowley when they wrote their manifestos.

I am a liberal. But, I am for tougher restrictions on immigration and employers that hire illegally. Also, we have to have compassion for those who were brought here, were raised here, and contribute to our society. I think we can build a big wall AND be compassionate at the same time.

I've been a resident of a few states, namely NM, OR, CA, HI, PA, and NV. I love Las Vegas, my home for over 14 years. My son is still there.

My father was a truck-driving cowboy biker, avid gun collector, and WWII Veteran. He liked country music, motorcycles, and horses. He died when I was 18. My mother is more of a suburbanite. She's 82 and you will never catch her without her makeup on. Independent and still working everyday.

My husband is a CA boy, born and raised in the Garden Grove area. Loved surfing more than politics.

I tell my boys that I don't care if they bring home a black girl, a Muslim, Jew, Mexican, or Pentecostal. But, please don't bring home a Republican, I'll have to disown them.

I'd like to meet

George Washington - I would ask him if he ever smoked any of that cannabis he kept all over his house.

Activities

Blogging seems to be my latest pastime. Shopping is still my favorite thing to do.

Interests

I work, cook, do as little laundry as possible, and pick up a book when ever my husband isn't looking. (He thinks I should do more working.) I'm pretty busy with 2 businesses, and 2 teenagers in wrestling. But everyone is entitled to my opinion and I'm raising strong, intelligent Democrats to spread it.

I credit my older sister with my wide exposure to music and my politics. She was a peace-loving hippie protester while my oldest brother was a gun-toting Vietnam veteran. They were both a decade older than me. I grew up witnessing some very heated dinner conversations.

My sister died when I was 26 leaving me stuck debating my 2 Republican brothers alone. My mom is no help whatsoever. She stays out of it but I know she agrees with me when they aren't around.

Favorite Music

I love every kind of music. My music library has;
Dead Weather,
James Taylor,
Tool,
Taj Mahal,
Harry Belafonte,
Greenday,
Anne Lenox,
White Stripes,
Waylon Jennings,
Joan Armitrading,
Kate Bush,
Florence and the Machine,
and a list way too long to put here.

Favorite TV Shows

Guilty pleasures; Cold Case Files and NCIS but my favorite show is CBS Sunday Morning News. I have to get up early to watch it.

Favorite Movies

Cold Mountain, A Knights Tale, Family Man, Ice Age to name a few.

Favorite Books

Jean Auel's Series; Clan of the Cave Bear, Valley of Horses, Mammoth Hunters, Plains of Passage

The Price of Loyalty by Ron Suskind
Lying Liars by Al Franken
The Wizard of Oz
The Gospel of Thomas - I think this is the closest we will ever get to Jesus' actual words.

Favorite Quotes

Confidence is the feeling you sometimes get before you fully understand the situation.

Saying you're a middle class Republican is like saying you're a Black Confederate.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.-Voltaire

Whoever said "money can't buy happiness" must have been a bipolar trust fund baby.

"Beauty is only skin deep but ugly is clean to the bone." -- My Grandmother.

Favorite Heroes

My mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother. I come from a long line of tough, independent woman. My grandmother was raised in East Texas at a time when men outnumbered women 257 to 1. She was a business woman that ran a store and barber shop at the same time Bonnie & Clyde were on the loose. She carried two 45s on her hip at all times to discourage would-be robbers.
