Gamer Girl

Oh... she's *that* girl?

About Me

I have a beautiful little boy who just turned two years old. He's the apple of my eye!

I work hard and play hard too. I love football and beer! And food. And sleep. And white cake with REAL buttercream icing. :) Not necessairly in that order.

I don't play the numbers game with friends. I don't add someone that I haven't already emailed back and forth with and gotten to know. So... if you're on my friends list, you are someone I genuinely want to get to know better. :)

I believe in living life to the fullest each day. Too often I have found that if I just would have told someone how I felt about them, things would have been different. I've lived for too long with "what ifs" and don't want to have them anymore.

My Interests

Boardgames - I love boardgames! Current favorite is Parthenon Beer. :)
Football.
Food.
Sleep.
White cake with REAL buttercream icing.

I'd like to meet:

You could meet one or more of these categories. I'm not necessairly looking for someone who is all of these things. :)
1. A caring, considerate, patient very good friend who's willing to help me get through some rough patches and come through smiling.
2. someone as a workout buddy
3. people who understand men and women can be friends
4. More people to game with! (Boardgames especially!)

Anger as a useful tool
