Music I listen to

One of my favorite singing artists is Lara Fabian. I have one of her songs playing on this profile page. A cyber-bud of mine who lives in Italy first introduced me to her music.
- Lara Fabian Lyrics

Our Family of FurBabies

This is Misti, our second Sheltie.
She's seventeen, and her health
is beginning to decline rapidly.
image

Our youngest Sheltie is Ahbe', our
14 yr old Blue Merle.
image

Back in '96, our son called me at work to tell me he'd found a half staved 4 - 5 week old kitten by the highway and brought him home. He asked me to please nurse him back to health. I agreed, and began my quest to restore his health and find him a good home. Within 3 weeks, I found him that good home, ours. He was just recently diagnosed with cancer, and he will soon join our first Sheltie, Cameo, as well as our youngest Birman, Z'Bastian at Rainbow Bridge. Here's our Spooky...
image
UPDATE: Dr Harr and I escorted Spooky to Rainbow Bridge today (03.14.08) at 2:40PM. He is now free of lymphoma. I take comfort in knowing that he is with Cameo and Z'Bastian as well as the other furbabies who made up the welcoming committee today.

In 2000, we decided we wanted to expand our furbaby household, and I began researching cats. I wanted to find a breed of cat that was easy going, sociable, and got along with humans, dogs and other cats. I discovered the Sacred Cat of Burmah, which seemed to be the perfect breed. We have since added five Birmans to our household. We added our first three in 2000, which was the year of the X. Birmans are named according to the alphabet. We added another in 2001 and our last Birman joined us in 2002.

Reality TV and Me

I became somewhat of a reality TV Junkie after tuning into the second half of the first season of Survivor. Season one of Big Brother found me not only glued to the damn TV several nights a week, but I also discovered a web site called BanishGeorge, which later became BanishThemAll, lol. That site brought about my introduction to discussion forums, and forum nics. Mine went from OustGeorge to JamiesGottaGo to EddieTakeitHome to my final nic (maintained to this day), Deadlily. As each new reality show hit the airwaves, I found myself glued to the TV more and more. I realized I needed help, as I was a realityTV Junkie...
H E L P MEEEEEEE!

I currently watch Survivor, as it remains my weekly guilty pleasure. On occasion I watch this season's Big Brother, although with the election looming and the current state of our domestic and foreign issues, I'm most often tuned into cable news.

Where You Can Most Often Find Me

image

My Favorite Vacation Place

Riviera Maya, Mexico. Photos will be added soon. I'm currently researching for our next vacation, which we plan on taking this fall. Last time we stayed at The Club Royal (Occidental Grand Xcaret). I'd love to stay there again as I don't think I could find a place we would enjoy more.

Our Typical Weekend in the Summer

image

We moved back to the Michiana area in September of '03 and currently live on a 400 acre all sports lake in MI. Summer weekends find us out on the lake, watching the sail boat races, or just relaxing on the boat with drink in hand. We always take a cooler filled with fresh fruit and veggies, cheese and crackers, water, Fuze, wine and beer. Ahbe' and Misti often join us when we have no humans visiting. When just the four of us go out, hubby fishes while I sit under the pontoon canopy and read with the Shelties at my feet. My only interruptions occur when hubby needs me to photograph him with a big catch, or when he needs me to move the boat to a better fishing location, lol.

Music often unveils its listener




Lara Fabian - I Guess I Loved You






David Cook - Eleanor Rigby - performed on American Idol 3-11-08 - below is the studio version
I actually watched AI that week, and as a girl who danced her first slow dance to the Beatles,
and experienced her first kiss while listening to the Beatles, I absolutely LOVED his performance.




Barbra Streisand - With One More Look At You/Are You Watching Me Now
to this day, one of my all time favorite movie performances.

My Digital Hobby

In December of 2000, I purchased Paint Shop Pro v7.04, and learned to create sigtags and stationery.
I now also create personalized AVs. Below are some examples of AVs and tags I've made...

    Thank you Lyn,

    It's great to be here. Hopefully I will have some time to figure out all the particulars. It's so pretty here. I'll be in and out today. I have some errands to run.

    I'm sorry that my repy was confusing. I was apologizing that I didn't reply to your Wed message until Thurs, because I often forget to check the top part of my monitor and I miss the fact that I have messages and comments. NP = no problem.
