hmm

so i realized that this is turning out to be farily unpositive and growling. i figured i'd try to change that.
taking lead from my one friend....
some stuff about me. so you can all get to know me better... (all three who read this)

favorite restraunts:

• Bombay house in Salt Lake City, Utah (great indian food andlovely mago ice cream..i love their lamb korma)
• Tea and Sympathy in New York City (in the village past St. Vincent's Hosptial) It's a bit of home when i really need some good food, scones, and just a trip back to the uk but can't afford the airfare. I adore their brunches (eggs with salmon, chammomile and lavender tea..)
• Mamasita's up near Elk Mountain in Pa. Great Mexican food, all made from scratch. it's not a fast food place, go when you have time, but it's worth the wait.
• Jack's in Millersville Pa for their amazing french fry dishes.
• Sugar Bowl in Millersville for their spinach stromboli.
• Baby's in State College Pa, just for fun and atmosphere.

i would desperately love to move back to the uk. i want to travel. want to see italy, greece, australia, russia, china, japan, lots of places. have no desire to see germany. france is not that much higher than germany. just little interest.

dream jobs: director in films or theatre; make up or costume designing with films or plays; writer; teacher; doctor (pediatrics, or delivering babies) boarding school or university president/headmaster; working with roses; musician

what sound do i love: my husband laughing, ot my neice's laughter, or the jingle of ellie's dog tags when she comes to say hi to me.. or the sound that she makes when she licks my face. thunder. a piano played well.. good music.

sounds i hate: a piano played badly; crying; screeching brakes; arguing; ignorant parents yelling at their kids and talking down to them


what scares me most: ignorance; hatred; lack of jobs and health insurance; lack of money for basic living;

what i look forward to most: being a mom; being out of debt; having our own place and doing what we love in life; rose gardens; living life on our own terms. eternity with my family. enough money to be ok.

so there's a bit. lots more i'm sure. but there you go.
