I have a husband that adores me, one son that has grown up to be a good man and a *****y toddler that is a blessing from God. On top of all this, I am finally loosing weight and will soon be able to do all the physical things that I have long wanted to do. Valorie

1. I love comedies, romatic chic flicks, historically based films, anything with awesome costumes. Really hate real life depressing stuff. 2. I grew up on stories from my parents about their time in the peace corps living in Chile so I knew I wanted to go live...really live, in a foreign country. So I did...I lived in France as an aupair for a year and loved every minute of it. 3. Become a sought after opera singer, singing leading roles at big houses like the Met, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, Alla Scala in Milan Italy and the Colusseum in Verona Italy. 4. Honestly I really haven't been around many children. 5. Any I LOVE jewelery of any kind. Real jems, gold, silver, platinum, fake stuff that just glitters big...I love it all. 6. What is your ideal weekend? I have two...either taking a road trip to the Washington Coast with my honey, or lazing around in bed reading romance novels and watching movies. 7. Make believe...I was really good at it because we didn't have a TV when I grew up and lived out in the middle of no where in Alaska so didn't have any friends that lived close by. So I made up whole stories and played them out with myself and my pets or stuffed animals. 8. I LOVE to read. Mostly I read romance novels, Judith McNaught, Jude Devereaux are two of my favorite authors there. I also like Laurell K Hamilton who is classified as a horror writer (vampires and stuff), Phillipa Gregory who writes fiction based on true events in history...like the Tudor family in England. Again I very rarely read anything that is based on real life depressing stuff...I read for enjoyment not to be depressed. 9. This summer I will be in Arkansas performing the title role in Madama Butterfly with Opera in the Ozarks. Can't wait!!! 10. Honestly I wouldn't restart my life. I think I've done pretty well and am really happy with what I've accomplished and who I am. I don't want to trade with anyone and I don't think I need to do anything over.
