My superpower is: White witchcraft fertility goddess education If I could live anywhere, it would be: Italy Scotland the Caribbean St. John Maine right here in Philadelphia. Full of divine people, and brotherly love My dream job(s): Heiress to a small Italian vineyard, producing wine. I would live in an old monastery with a chapel with stained glass windows. There would be a fabulous first class kitchen and amazing stainless steel equipment Out door kitchen as well spa bathrooms with heated floors, air tubs, amazing modern new shower with water running from the ceiling, fountains, solid stone, no grout. amazing sinks, magnifying mirrors, enclosed toilet area, chaise lounge, and view of the vineyards. air conditioning Medieval chapel complete with real gold relics, imported floors, and chantry. Divine monks. Oh, I think Catholicism is ********, and I also think all religion is ********. It is a tool men use for enslaving women. Love the theatre of it though, props and music. I actually live across the street from a religious seminary, and have my own monks complete with the white robes, tonsures, yep the whole nine yards. They are having a tough time recruiting priests, not most men's idea of a profession. They have some shack though. I finally toured it last year. Some library. My bedroom faces the Virgin Mary, who of course was no virgin, but this one is. She's stone and power washed every year. She has 20 Mexican gardeners, and a perfect lawn with 24 hour security. A gardener, laundress, maid, and butler, are essential. Oh, and a chauffeur, as I never drink and drive, so I rarely drive. fireplaces converted to gas in all bedrooms, den, living room, guest room and master bath Kitchen gardens Herb gardens Rose Gardens classic knot gardens ponds with fish Wine cellar stocked with my own wine dating from the 18th century of course. What else you should know about me: I am eccentric, maternal, educated, sensitive, evolved. I have an addictive personality, and get over absorbed in anything I aspire too. I have three daughters 27, and identical twins 20. They are divine. best kids in the world. I love my life, and wouldn't change a thing, but would like to have enough money not to worry about a mortgage, food, hairdresser, daughter's weddings, and little things like food, and vintage wine, oh and old whiskey. I would love to be able to buy plants for my garden, and all the books I want for my library. 2 vacations a year would be heavenly. My husband and I gave up everything for our daughter's education. We don't drive nice cars, don't take vacations, don't go out, and don't care. I have no regrets. I have no interest in stupid materialistic things like designer labels, fancy cars, or showing off. However, I am the ultimate reverse snob. The worst. I love very expensive jewels, as I am a graduate gemologist, but I would NEVER wear designer anything. unless only I knew it was. I adore very rare precious stones. Rubies in particular, and diamonds in general, but they must be absolutely beautiful, not just big. Clean, well cut, colored, yes please, simple settings. and beautiful. My children are horrified, and would never wear any jewelry I would like, YET. They are young, and as soon as I had a bit of cancer, they took notice. Sorry girls, I lived, not dead yet. Love heavy 18k gold jewelry. Never wear anything real anymore, too forgetful, so it's where it will stay, in the bank. But I love huge gaudy costume stuff now, as I'm too irresponsible to worry about losing anything, I lost my glasses for 4 weeks. Found them, and then proceeded to break them. I want to have health care, and education, preschool through college for every child in our country. I would like to be able to give away money to anyone I want whenever I want. Big feminist. Hate most men, except those divine naughty ones, but look don;t touch. I like my husband sometimes, and President Obama, oh and naughty Bill Clinton. Boy Monica was so lucky. I would love to eat whatever I want and never get fat.. I have dieted my whole life. I believe in having fun, which I inherited from my father's family. Strong bloodline there. Heavy into fun. Eat drink and be merry, for the grim reaper is always right there. I come from an educated comfortable family, and then my Father promptly lost all the money on lawsuits, fast NY living, and very bad decisions. I married very young, while still in college, a nice boy who loved me. He was below my station, but I can honestly say he is now way above me. He is a saint, the best father, husband, and person in general. However, it is very hard to live with a saint, but I have a knack for it. We have worried about money our whole life, and have stayed one step ahead of the creditors until this year. We had a good long run. Lived like a princess, but so beyond my means, it's ridiculous. Would I do it again? You bet, but I would have built my dream house sooner, as I am now living in it, and we are losing it. We lost it all. Got a reprieve from the bank yesterday, as they say they have too many homes like mine thank you very much, and if we could just make a couple of payments we can hang on for another year. Yes! Ok, what else. Taste in music. Opera, medieval chants, Celtic crazy ****, head banging stuff too. My kids think I'm nuts. Very into goth recently, evanescence, blackmore's night, Yep the Fray, Streisand. Told you I was nuts. I read a lot. Mostly Tudor history, romantic fiction, and cookbooks. My whole life I have wanted a library, and now I have one. For a more complete profile see tudorcrazy on the Tudors showtime wiki. OK now for nurse Jackie. Hold on folks. By the end of this Edie Falco will probably be emailing me to stop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAY HELLO!
