ONE THING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO BUT NEVER HAVE:  bungee jump

I STILL CAN'T GET THE HANG OF: ...hooking up electronics.  Ugh, cords!

MY BEST FRIEND SAYS I AM: Generous and open

MY FAMILY: ...is very precious to me and full of smart, wonderful people.

MY PASSION: to listen to music and be creative...I love to draw and design clothes and sewing is my favorite thing to do.  I am kinda learning guitar, and I love to paint and do other arts and crafts...collages, crocheting, knitting, handmaking cards and presents.

MY FAVORITE POSSESSION: ...an old black & white picture of my grandmother when she was my age.  I wrote her a poem about it when I was 10, something like:  "Your picture in a wooden frame I set beside my bed, I see your good sweet smiling face each time I turn my head."
 


IF I COULD BE TOTALLY WILD: ...travel around the country in a van and have adventures.

LAST MAJOR PURCHASE: Big flat-screen TV!!  Best TV ever!

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I EVER LOST: My 2nd grade spelling bee

I AM GUILTY OF: ...eating too much chocolate.

I'M THINKING OF: ...another tattoo
 

 

MY THEME SONG: Here Comes the Sun, by Ritchie Havens

MY FAVORITE SMELL IS: Either coffee or vanilla, or the smell of bread cooking at my grandmother's house!

IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, I WOULD HAVE: ...had kids already, not gone to law school, and already be on a farm.

THE BEST THING I EVER WON: a huge box of bubble gum (Well, my husband won it...)

 

WORDS I LIVE BY:  Soon, this too shall pass (My grandmother always says that when I am bummed out); and Start Good Spirals.

FAVORITE SUPERSTITION: Knock on wood---don't jinx things!

I AM MOST PROUD OF: How wonderful, generous and kind the folks in my family are.

ONE THING I NEVER WANT TO DO AGAIN:  drive through California, especially in July!

THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE, IF ONLY: ...people would take better care of each other.
 

 

WHAT'S ALWAYS BY MY BED: Harry Potter books and Tums

MY WORK: ...is interesting and rewarding.

THE ONE ITEM THAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE: My precious little book, the Tao te Ching.  I discovered it when I was 12 and have tried to live by it ever since.  It is integral to my personal philosophy and my spiral theory of the universe.

THE FOOD I COULD EAT EVERY DAY: Sushi--kamakazi rolls and california rolls and kiwi rolls from Ginza.  It doesn't get any better than that!

MY HOMETOWN: Knoxville
