Reading is very important to me and I love being able to get away from awhile and go somewhere I want to be. No matter how hectic my life my get I will always have time for reading:)

I went and saw it in 3D! It was so beautiful and sad. The worst thing about it is that even though Jack and Rose didn't exist, it was a real event, in which many people perished, and it could of been so easily prevented. :'(

Hello [for the first time] everyone! :)This seems like one of the friendlier groups I've joined, how refreshing!
My interests are ever-changing and currently:
Nature-exploring! [today, we drove 2 hours to explore a an active volcano site & monument, so much fun!]
Dog adventures [we have 2 dachshunds that run our household and amuse us to no end with their ridiculously human facial expressions and actions. I am a sucker for a snuggly pup]
Reading [duh! ;) ]
Organizing ...everything. I can't help it, organization is actually fun to me. Heaven help everyone whose non-alphabetized DVD collections I come across..
hehe
Hi Tiffani! Exploring an active volcano definitely sounds exciting! I too love dogs. I have two - though they are quite a bit larger than your dachshunds (they weight 80 lbs and 105 lbs :) but snuggly pups are the best!

I love dogs, we used to have a black lab/rottweiler mix who weighed 115 pounds and would always climb up onto my stomach at night to try and sleep on me, haha. Snuggly dogs of all sizes are the best therapy!

All he wants to do is snuggle and be as close as possible to us as he can. Love big snuggly pups! I really want a great pyrenees - that looks like a super snuggly dog!
Lauren I started watching NCIS around season 3 and have been a fan ever seen.My family has got used to me talking about the team like they are real people.
