the good things: open-minded,​ honest, independent,​ sensitive, friendly, compassionat​e & a good sense of humor, mother, wife, daughter, friend; the not-so-good:​ blunt, never satisfied, demanding, overly-sensi​tive, perfectionis​tic (but far from perfect) & sometimes lazy...

I'm interested in letter-writi​ng friends from any country. Postcard exchanges welcome too!! I like learning about other people & cultures. (E-mail would be fine sometimes - we're all busy people!)

**Please don't add me as a friend if we haven't "talked"​ or messaged; I'm NOT here to collect them :)

I've studied French, Spanish, German, some Italian & some Arabic.
I'm interested in all languages.

(not necessarily in this order)...tra​veling, collecting postcards, playing with my baby girl, foreign languages & cultures, crafts - especially paper crafts, ephemera, stationery & stickers, etc;  writing & receiving letters - they call it "snail-mail"​ now; iced tea,  baking, cake decorating, photo crafts & keepsakes, knitting, the Red Sox, shopping, eating, music, Spongebob; I love magazines & soy lattes, dark chocolate, ; talking with friends, going out to eat with my husband, taking pictures of my family, friends & places I visit....muc​h more...

I'm really into Akon, the Killers & the Flobots lately...but​ I like mostly everything, depending on my mood. I love 70's music (especially Fleetwood Mac & the BeeGees) & probably know the words to every song on the radio from 1980-2000.

so many...(in no particular order)...The​ Sound of Music, Gladiator, the Bourne series, Jaws I, Elizabeth & most movies about that period in time, the Commitments,​ Juno, Life is Beautiful, the Departed, Sex in the City, Love Actually, the English Patient, Good Will Hunting, Napoleon Dynamite, Lord of the Rings, Pippy Longstocking​ movies (from my childhood), Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Steel Magnolias, the Parent Trap (the original), Rear Window (the original), Alfie (the original), The Notebook, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Under the Tuscan Sun, Three Days of the Condor, other films from the late 70's; probably lots more...

House is the only show I actually watch from beginning to end; and sometimes (when I get a chance), I watch: Rescue Me, Nip Tuck, Cold Case, all the stupid "reality"​ shows on Vh1 & MTV; No Reservations​, Kitchen Nightmares, American Idol...

Don't have one. I like travelogues,​ travel guides, language books, books about words & word origins, craft books, "how-to"​ & "do-it-yourself"​ books, self-improve​ment/self-he​lp books & dictionaries​.

We will travel as far as we can, but we cannot in one lifetime see all that we would see or learn all that we hunger to know.
