eBay My World: karen1pwd( 44)

I am a true southern belle, born in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina and still living in the piedmont. My children are older now and I am finding more time for myself to pursue the things I have always wanted to.nomoreroomtotype l

I collect rocks, old books and dragons. The rocks are from all around the world. I work online and friends that I have made over the past 13 years have sent me rocks from their home area. Everything from geodes to lava rocks and some beautiful shells, from Stonehenge, Ayers Rock, and some out of a friends yard in Alaska. My favorite antique book in my collection is from the 1800's, the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge.

English, I know the bad words in some languages due to work

I love to cook and take a lot of pride in what I create. Everything from stuffed mushrooms to hot crab dip, even a good marinated steak on the grill or great pot roast. I love the look on someones face when they taste something I made and savor all the flavors., I love a good game of pool, also play chess (been playing since I was big enough to learn the pieces ;), I love to ride whether it be a steel horse or a real one. There is nothing like riding on a summers day and going through a dip, feeling the cooler air touch your skin or the warm sun on your back on a fall day., Feeling the power of the animal beneath you as you gallop across a field.. nothing like it.

I like to read so find it hard to narrow it down to just a few books. Some of my favorite authors would be Tolkien, Paolini, Grisham, Rowling, C S Lewis, Stephen King, and V C Andrews. I read everything from the stories in Readers Digest to the National Geographic to the back of a cereal box. lol

I love most all music, especially the blues. Jazz, rock and Motown... a lot depends on my mood as to what I am listening to at the moment. BB King, Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, and SRV is awesome!

I watch a lot of news chanels and PBS, but like House, MythBusters, and the Discovery chanel.

I have worked on the internet for a company since the mid 90's and love what I do. I have a contract with a company that contracts me to another company in areas around the world, so you can find me online at some really strange hours, because of the different time zones. The great thing is that I can go anywhere and still work as long as I have an internet connection.
