ABOUT ME: I live in Naples, Florida. I'm single. A morning person. I enjoy brunch. I'm an animal lover and avid reader. I laugh a lot. My favorite color is purple. I can read Tarot Cards. My favorite plant is the Elephant Ear. I buy myself a fresh bouquet of flowers each week. I enjoy going to the movies. Can make popcorn a meal. Love Starbucks. Spend hours at book stores. I like Saturday morning cartoons. Have a collection of snow globes. Chew bubble gum. Drink chocolate milk. I have a younger brother named Paul. I've had the same best friend for thirty years, her name is Debbie. I find the Flying Monkeys from the Wizard of Oz both bizarre and fascinating, as does my friend Sue-Ellen. Ben & Jerry's Phish Food is the best ice cream on the planet. Fiji is my favorite bottled water. I buy antique jewelry. Snuggle under feather comforters. Watch General Hospital. Disneyworld warms my heart. I hate alarm clocks and road construction. I read romance novels and also enjoy books by Stuart Woods. I truly appreciate and admire positive-minded people. Drivers who swerve to avoid animals in the roadway. Sales clerks who are still smiling five minutes before the store closes. Waitresses who offer me dessert, even after a big meal. People who are always honest. Men who reach over my shoulder and catch a door, even when I'm capable of opening it myself. People who practice patience. Those who give second chances. My philosophy: Out of chaos comes calmness. Silence is often the best answer. |
