25 Randon Things About Me

1. I HATE THE COLD WEATHER! I wish winter was only 2 months long, not the 6 months that we have here. Ugh!

2. I am a morning person and I don't like to sleep past 8 because when I do it feels as though the day is just wasted away.

3. People would tell me when I was younger...."Oh you are so shy" "You're so quiet". If they were trying to get me to talk, that was definitely not the way to go about doing it. I would become even more quiet.

4. I can't understand how people can put labels on other people. Everyone is so complex that we all don't just fit into a one size box.

5. I love music and it is the one "thing" in my life that I could not live without it. I love all types of music but am partial to rock, pop, jazz, rap and contemporary.

6. I jog for exercise and love it. I wish I had more time to exercise because I'm one of those weirdos that enjoy it.

7. I think Ellen DeGeneres is hilarious.

8. God was smiling on me the day I met Dale.

9. This is harder than I thought it would be.

10. I consider myself to be introverted....which I have come to accept is not a bad thing. It doesn't mean that I am shy. In some circumstances I am shy and in others I am not. It also doesn't mean that I don't like being with people...because I do. I just prefer to be in smaller groups. To be around a lot of people for me is overwhelming and overstimulating and tires me out. But after many years I have come to realize that is how I am and being that way is ok.

11. I think Oprah is a very wise lady.

12. I miss my mom and dad. I would love to know how my mom thinks I'm doing as a mom. She died when I was 30 and Brandon just turned 3 and Josh was only 3 months old.

13. Having kids has brought my life into perspective. Having the privilege of seeing them grow up into wonderful people is incredible.

14. I have been thinking about getting a tattoo... of Dale from Chip and Dale. ( To show my love of my hubby and Disney) We'll see...

15. I cry very easily. I'll cry at commercials or if I see something sentimental... I try to hide it but Josh always calls me on it.... the little bugger.

16. I have been to Walt Disney World on 19 separate vacations. And yes, I do plan on going back.

17. The older I get, the more paranoid I am of flying. I use to love it as a kid but ever since Dale told me that the landing was kinda like a controlled falling out of the sky...I hate landings.

18. Seeing how much fun Brandon has in band, I wish I would have continued the trumpet in high school. But I was so into sports... Basketball and softball took up a lot of my time.

19. Closed minded people stink.

20. I read the book "The Secret" and have felt a bit paranoid in my thoughts ever since. I read it again to make sure I didn't miss something and I still feel the same. It says that we can help our lives thru our thoughts and tho I believe that being positive and having positive thoughts is great but it also can be a bit maddening to think that our thoughts can play such a big part.

21.I love Oprah's quote..."My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment."

22. I love Diet Pepsi Max.

23. I can juggle 3 softballs and spin a basketball on my finger.....just not at the same time.

24. I have started using cheaters to read. I guess I'm lucky that I haven't needed glasses up until now... I purchased a pack of 4 from Sam's Club... so I can have some with me around the house.

25. I think that Johnny Depp is the best, most talented actor around and the nicest guy. (Didn't think I'd go a whole random thoughts list without mentioning him, did cha?

Public Enemies now in our sight

It seems so much more real. Finally we have the trailer for the movie Public Enemies. Granted, we still have to wait almost 4 months for the actual film to come out but at least now we can get a glimpse as to the look and feel of the movie.


I attended 4 days of filming when the crew was in Oshkosh and in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and to see the efforts put together, even in the limited scale of a trailer, is great.

The link will take you to my meet and greet with Johnny Depp during the filming of the movie. I still don't understand how he could work all day/night long and in some cases, still take an hour or two, to say hello to his fans. He is truly the real deal and a wonderful person.

Some people are complaining about the digital aspect of the movie. I don't understand the complaint. I like the digital. To me the picture is clearer and more real. It is like we are actual witnesses to history rather than looking back in time. It makes it more thrilling. The whole point of it is not to be nostalgic. It's to be realistic. It relies more on natural lighting and comes off as truer. There's nothing that says period pieces have to be on film. I think we associate the film look with the 1930s because movies back then were shot on film. But I like the feel that we are witnessing history and have been brought back to those moments in time. But that's just me.

Anyway, I cannot wait for July.
