I LOVE music. I like concerts. Support local music, they are the ones who still care about it. I like video games, puzzles of all kinds, Magic (the card game), friends, and family game night cause the kid grows up too quick.

Knowing a lot about sports such as football, basketball, and baseball. I also like listening to music. Mainly old school rock and classic hip hop.

Cripes, I forgot to mention following the Packers...just on tv. Not like a stalker, or anything. Yet. Playoff game next week! Yeah!
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

Hey Tralala, I am the biggest Vikings fan in Australia. Hate the packers, hate the packers!!! :D :D Denver had an amazing win over the Steelers today. Seeing as though the Vikes barely won a game this year I am now going for the Broncos to win the bowl. GO TEBOW!!!!!!

The Steelers/Broncos game was an instant classic. Great game. We will see how Tebow does against Tom Brady and the Patriots.

Yeh, I am not holding much hope for the Denver D being able to stop Tom Brady. However you never know, I am going to put a little bit of money on the Broncos. :D If Tebow can do what he did to the best defence in the league with the Steelers and if they can keep the Patriots offence off the field as much as they can, you never know. Fingers crossed. :)

I love to travel with my family (go to my fav place Florida a few times a year). Always planning and looking forward to the next trip to wherever!

I love to quilt but have not had the time to devote since having children.

My husband and I love NASCAR! No, I'm not a hick and I have all my teeth! :)

I love photography and playing around with the pictures I've taken (again, takes a lot of time).

I love to organize! I feel so much better when things are in order. My work office is that way but I need to do more at home.

You wanna come organise my desk for me? I'm looking at it now and it's such an unbelievable mess. I'll half-heartedly shift things around once or twice a month but that just really shifts the papers from one end to the other really :lol: the only thing that I have in meticulous order is my bookshelf and I get so proud that I could achieve such neat ordering of my books! :D

Thats for sure. In the mornings when I fill the dog's dish, there lined up on the fence, on the roof, it looks like Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, just waiting to pounce. The stupid dog is finally starting to chase them away, he's getting over being scared of them. About time. :lol:

I play jazz guitar and love music!

Camping, watching cult films and sometimes a bit of electronics-soldering and building. Mainly fx pedals for guitar and that :)
