Mt. Cuba Center may well be the finest woodland wildflower garden on the East Coast (my opinion, of course). This non-profit organization invited the general public onto its grounds (a former duPont . . . more

About Me

People say I'm:

The one to go to if you want an honest opinion, a bit of an obsessive compulsive when it comes to planning my time and getting things done, a complete dork at times (and that's OK)
Describe Yourself:

Mom of 2, always busier than I need to be. Entrepreneur, writer, crafter, & Girl Scout Leader. I'm creative, down-to-earth, and spunky but I can sometimes over-analyze, be excessively generous, and be hyper-efficient. I guess there are worse things to be. :)
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

Friends, creative interaction, inspiration, and endless ways to kill time.

Interests

Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:

By favorite, I mean artists whose work I snatch up as soon as it's available, such as: The Killers, DMB, Sting, Jason Mraz, Sarah McLachlan, Bowling for Soup, Don Henley, and a handful of other forgotten well-skilled songwriters who I can't remember at the moment.
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:

'Santaland Diaries' by David Sedaris, 'A Heartwarming Work of Staggering Genius' by Dave Eggert, 'Happiness Sold Separately' by Lolly Winston, and 'Confessions of a Slacker Wife' by Muffy Mead-Ferro. I also like Anne Rice, though I haven't read her books for some time.
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:

Lord of the Rings trilogy, Chicago, What Dreams May Come, Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, Raising Arizona, The Mummy (& The Mummy Returns), Pulp Fiction, As Good As It Gets, Monty Python's Holy Grail, Pirates of the Carribean trilogy, Four Feathers, Dangerous Liasons, The Bride, Grease, A Fish Called Wanda, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Be Cool, Ferris Bueller's Day Off ... and a slew of others.
Favorite TV Shows, Actors:

Hell's Kitchen, American Idol, Heroes, ER, The Office, My Name Is Earl, Ghost Hunters, Nip/Tuck, House, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and The Colbert Report. I also like Family Guy & Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.
Favorite Places:

Pacific Northwest (Columbia River Gorge & The Cascades, Mt. Hood being my favorite) as well as the Southwest (Arizona and New Mexico).
Interests and Activities:

Surveys, crochet, bicycling, weightlifting, writing (poetry, short stories, magazine articles), collecting vintage ephemera (postcards, Xmas cards, paper), genealogy, rubber stamping, and scrapbooking.
Wish List:

I wish I could travel more. I wish I could enjoy some of my hobbies more. I wish I could go back in time and fix a few personal issues. I wish I were less easily distracted.

Affiliations

Political Affiliation:

Moderate Republican

Candidates I support:

Anyone but Hillary Clinton
Religious Affiliation:

Lutheran by birth, Agnostic by choice
Employers:

Wilmington Housing Partnership, Beneficial National Bank, Franklin Mint, American Home Lenders, United Parcel Service ... but now I hold my own as a full-time AVON Representative & Team Leader
Colleges:

Concordia University (Irvine, CA); Mira Costa Community College (Oceanside, CA), and Palomar Community College (San Marcos, CA)

Major:

English
High Schools:

Rancho Buena Vista (Vista, CA)

You are probably right... someone was unhappy that I posted it to their Mom and Family group..... I thought any Mom I have ever know would love $25 free sign up bonus... lol... Free money is free money.... It expires in three days so there is very little time left to try to do anything about it.... Thanks for the encouragement... You made me feel less rejected.... lol... Have a magical day... Angel

Don't worry about, it "Erica" (tee-hee)! We can pretend that you changed my name "to protect the innocent"!

I have actually suffered from obsessive attractions, but never acted on them to that extreme. maybe i like those movies because they remind me of what can happen when i don't keep it in check..

Thanks for the ping and friend request.... I feel like a newbie... I cant seem to get the hang of this.... Gather just restricted the last article I wrote giving directions on how to get $25 in free money.... lol... I don't get it.... I see all kinds of articles about sites that offer rewards for things.... Maybe I am just destined to be perpetually confused on Gather... lol You made me smile and I needed a smile.... Thanks...

as we speak its not quite 70 outside so i imagine the water is chilly! By july things will be in full throttle and everything will be warmed up and beautiful. I tend to swim in swimming pools, not the ocean, and hit the beach to get brown and sit at a cantina for a margherita!
