About Misty

Hey There! My name is Misty. I am thirty-two years old and I live in good old Virginia Beach. I am married to Todd and I am mother to Kaiden-6 and Ashton-4. Currently, I am employed as a Construction Project Manager for a local Construction Consulting Firm. I love spending time with my family, good concerts, cocktails with Coconut Rum, the beach, flip-flops, taking pictures with my Nikon D70, tattoos, and getting pedicures. I spend unbelievable amounts of time journaling my existence and other random, totally unimportant things on my family website/blog. Feel free to visit me there and stroke my ego join in on the fun by leaving me comments!

FAVORITE MUSIC:
Lately I have been all about my boys in FREEDOM HAWK! Also anythng on the harder side - Tool, Mudvayne, Taproot, Flaw, Ill Nino. I am also a sucker for some reggae - Steel Pulse, classic Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and not to mention some laid back Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson. I like some punk music - Face to Face, Bouncing Souls, 7Seconds, Fugazi, Misfits. Oh, and then there is my main man Otis Redding, along with some Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone.

FAVORITE MOVIES/TV:
I am a big fan of comedy - I have enough drama and crap in my life, so I like my movies to be on the lighter side and to make me laugh - hard. So, with that said, I like movies like Office Space, Old School, 50 First Dates, Anchorman and so on. I do sometimes like horror movies, but not nearly as much as my husband. As far as T.V. I think I would stop breathing if I did not get my fix of Saturday Night Live, but I also like Scrubs, CSI (the Vegas one), Grey's Anatomy, Reno 911, King of Queens, The Office, 30 Rock and Earl (Don't You Judge Me).

FAVORITE BOOKS:
I really never have time to read books anymore, you know with that whole full-time career and mom gig I got going on, but some of my favorites from the past are The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, The Prophet by Khalil Gibran and The Witching Hour by Anne Rice - What a mix!. Lately I have been downloading audiobooks into my iPod and taking them on the road with me, so I have been enjoying Dry and Running w/ Scissors by Augusten Burroughs and The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (a must read thanks to my friend Nadine).

About This Site

The Scanlon Family Online

The Scanlons dot Net domain was purchased on April 20, 2004. Prior to having my own domain, I kept an online journal at Babies Online starting in 2001 when Kaiden was born. I stopped journaling there when they started to restrict the amount of photos you could upload and have posted, which was right around the time Ashton was born. At that point, I made the leap and purchased a family domain through Yahoo, where I also had it hosted. I built and updated regularly an all HTML site there for quite a while. Then I found blogger and realized that it was so much easier to do the journaling on that platform, rather than constantly uploading the HTML site. So I kept the HTML, but had a link to my Blogger site for the journal.

It did not take me long to get over Blogger and it's lack of features for proper archiving and move on to Moveable Type, which I kept for all of about 3 months before making the permanent change to Expression Engine in 2005, which I have been happy with ever since. I used Yahoo to host me until 2005 when I found that they were not compatible with Expression Engine, so I switched to DreamHost - which I LOVE to death!

I do a lot of tinkering with the design myself - but leave the bulk of it up to Melissa at Emtwo. I freakin ♥ her - the girl has mad skills!
