Favorite Music

Love Bon Jovi!! I like ALL kinds of music except elevator music. George Strait, Prince (the old stuff), Foreigner, Steve Miller Band, Fleetwood Mac, Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Bo Bice, Barry Manilow, I could go on & on!!

Favorite Books

Love mystery books! "Well Bred and Dead" is the best one I've read recently! You won't see the end coming!! See my profile on Amazon.com to see all my favorite books and what I thought of them! http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/AXJTNYD3UK1BP

Favorite Television

Reality TV Lover! Big Brother, American Idol, Survivor, and LOST & 24, even tho LOST & 24 aren't reality tv shows! I'm also a Bold & the Beautiful fan from day 1!! I've watched all CBS soaps since I was a little girl & my mom watched them!

Other Favorites ...

I love ...
*Chocolate, especially white chocolate, is a favorite of mine!

*I'm always on the look-out for a quick, easy recipe that my family will enjoy!

*Love all animals, especially baby animals and all cats.

*Love Bath & Body Works Moonlight Path lotion and spray! Sweet Pea is another good one!

*My favorite chapstick is Blistex LipTone! I carry one with me everywhere! It has just a touch of color to it - so I don't need lipstick!

*Refrigerator magnets- funny ones or ones with pictures of places or even pictures of animals,

*Notepads and Journals,

*Pens - I'm one of those that walks around the fairs picking up everyone's pens they are handing out as advertisement! Ha!

*Postcards, I love postcards that show a picture of a place - since I rarely get to travel very far from Iowa! I'm trying to collect one from every state! - (see below)

*Pictures of places I'll probably never get to see with my own eyes, (which is most anywhere outside of Iowa!)

*Humor, Jeff Dunham is my favorite comedian, with Larry the Cableguy & Ron White coming in a close 2nd!

*Books, mostly mystery books.

*Organizational tips & magazines.

*Penpals, My daughters (ages 9 & 10) would love penpals too!

*Gum, especially Trident original flavor - but I like all different flavors.

*Chocolate! (Did I mention that already!?!), Kit Kats, Twix & Crunch Crisp are my favorite candy bars - tho I really love them all!!

*I make popcorn the old fashioned way-on the stove in a pan! While I don't mind the microwave stuff - it just can't compare to homemade popcorn!

*I also love horses and rodeos ... and of course, cowboys!

*Cute notecards are nice.

*Coupons! for - Covergirl makeup, Laundry detergent (usually All or Purex), Bounce fabric softner sheets, Shout Color Catchers, Febreze, Infusium 23, Secret or Degree deoderants.

*I want to learn about other countries and their cultures, as well as meet new people from the USA too!!

Work~

Oh man... find myself without a job I enjoyed as of the end of September 08. I still plan to get my swaps and letters of reply done .. just bear with me. Anyone else out there who hasn't figured out what they want to do when they grow up (even at age 37)??? Life has too many lessons to learn!!

I will be writing back to those I promised - your letters are staring at me, just waiting!! But looking for a job is time consuming - so please bear with me!

Anyway - looking to find a couple of great penpals that have a lot in common with me (not just the job issue!) ha!

Comment: OMG thank you so so so much!! I love it all!! You went well above and beyond the swap requirements. I was stunned. And I was so touched I cried. :-) I wish I could rate you higher, I really do. I can't eat the sweets but I know someone who will and who loves Spongebob just as much, so they will have a good home don't you worry. And everything is VERY appreciated. I still have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.
