Hi out there!

My name is Tina, Mrs. Arnold, and I have been blogging (kind of), a bit on Facebook. A friend of mine has a blog here that I keep up with and so I thought maybe I'd move on to a more open audience of readers as well.

I pretty much have an opinion on just about anything and everything, but it has to be something that really grabs me for me to talk about it openly and passionately. Politics, religion, family, being wronged in any way, great days and bad days, games, shows, music, movies- OK! so it's a lot, but these are the things that are guaranteed to get a comment or 100 out of me.

I hope someone out there reads this...I hate talking to myself. I am just looking to get my voice out there, I like to be heard, whether I am agreed with or not really doesn't mean much to me...I just want my 2 cents to be in the fountain. 8)~

Things I enjoy:
- The smell of salt in the air as you get closer to the ocean.
- Breezy days under a shade tree.
- Long, ankle length, flowing sun dresses.
- Hearing, "Mommy, I love you."
- Hearing, "Honey, I appreciate everything you do, thank you. I love you."
- The feeling of accomplishing something other than painting my toenails.
- That incredible, relaxing feeling you get right before you fall into a deep sleep.
- My laptop.
- Cooking.
- Creating.
- Talking.
- Laughing, from the belly.
- The color Red.
- Driving and listening to the radio, screaming songs out at the top of my lungs-alone obviously.
- Grocery shopping.
- Folding towels.
- Christmas and Halloween. Thanksgiving too. (The only three holidays worth it to me).
- Scalding hot bubble baths by candlelight. And when I'm lucky, with Kenny G, Sade, or Enya playing.
- Pumpkin. (Candles, scents, flavor, color, anything pumpkin).
- I am a closet lover of the color pink. Shhhhhh.
- Babies.
- Calla Lillies.
- Pajamas.
- Long hair.
- Autumn and Winter

There are so many things I enjoy. But I will stop there.

Things I do not enjoy:
- Meanness
- Lies
- Malice
- Hatred
- Coldness (emotionally)
- Manipulation
- Hunger
- Feeling less
- Know it alls
- Must-be-rights
- Judgments
- Fighting

- Bugs, Spiders, anything that crawls and bites
- Putting away laundry
- Doing dishes (I want to cook and let someone else clean it up).
- Bad smells
- Living away from the ocean
- Bullies
- Ignorance
- Stupidity
- Disrespect
- Paying Bills
- Feeling stuck in one place

Again, there's so much more...but there's just a small view into me. (If anyone is looking).
