One day, I'll teach your kids how to cuss.

About Me



27 years of big dreams, small lies, good friends and few enemies.
Only child of the mother, spoiled but caring and giving as learned behavior.
Ex English major turned Homeownership office worker extraordinaire, the big dreams on the back burner as other priorities take their place.
Canadian and kitty-cat are my true loves.
Feed me chocolate, homemade pizza, or casseroles and you've found your way to my heart.
