It seems like our weekends are always busy with something and I work ten hour days so I don't get a whole lot of free time for hobbies. When I do have free time I like just to relax and sleep. I do enjoy photography and messing around with photoshop, learning how to do HTML type things, going to our local hockey games, learning how to ice skate, reading, playing video/arcade games, camping, checking out garage sales and of course, I'm always on the hunt for any Halloween related ideas and items throughout the year.

I am mostly into action or fantasy movies.......once in awhile I will watch a comedy, rarely a chick flick or drama and very few "scary" movies (if you can even call them that)....it's weird I know....I like to do the scaring, not be scared.

A Few Halloween Type Movies I Enjoy Are:
Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Lost Boys, Monster Squad, Witches of Eastwick, Hocus Pocus, and The Craft

My taste in music varies quite a bit. What I don't like is that crap where they do nothing but scream. I'm also not a fan of music where they do nothing but swear.

A Few Of My Favorites Include:
Live, Stone Temple Pilots, Garbage, Aerosmith, Nirvana, & most 80's Hair Bands

Concerts I've Attended:
KISS, KISS/Ted Nuggent/Skid Row, KISS/Aerosmith, Aerosmith/Kenny Wayne Shepherd, FastBall/Sugar Ray/Goo Goo Dolls, Ozzfest 97, Marilyn Manson, Poison, Collin Raye, Diamond Rio, Beach Boys, Michelle Branch, Gavin DeGraw, Better Than Ezra, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Saving Jane, Chris Daughtry, Cinder Road

I love books and could spend hours at the library or in a book store. Right now I'm working on reading The Eldest and The Chronicles of Narnia. I also plan on starting the most recent Harry Potter as well. Yeah I know, it's a lot but I have a book in just about every room in the house so I can just pick one up and start reading when I get a free minute.

More annoyances than "turn off's" but whatever...
watching movies with commercials, seeing Christmas stuff out before Halloween, and people who are always making plans with you and then constantly backing out on you--once in awhile, understandable; every single time, not so much.

I am a small town Iowa girl who moved to a "slightly" bigger Iowa town. I was married in June of '03. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in May of 2000 with a BA in Early Childhood Education. I taught 4 & 5 year olds for 5 years and for the last two and a half I have been teaching 3 year olds. I am: shy, a planner and an organzier, and domestically challenged :)
