About Me



My Interests

Reading (although lately, it's been reduced to listening to audiobooks while on the treadmill), walking, summertime, baths, cooking, baking, snooping in other people's profiles (huh Chad, huh?!), observing people and secretly making fun of them.

Music:

Almost everything...lately it's been Ghostland Observatory (thank you Carrie!) Check 'em out! I mostly listen to talk radio (AM 590: you know, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, Dave Ramsey and Glen Beck!) and National Public Radio *Gotta love "A Prairie Home Companion"!(FM 91.1, KPBX).

Movies:

My ultimate stay home and do nothing movie is "Dirty Dancing", which Justin bought me for Christmas...now I just need the soundtrack! I love love love "Buffallo '66"...spanning time. It's a good one. I'm always up for suggestions on movies. Especially documentaries.

Television:

Well, now that "Rock of Love 2" is over...I'm patiently waiting for the reunion. I wonder if Bret and Ambre are working things out.

Books:

I love anything by David Sedaris. Right now I'm reading "The $64 Tomato" about a guy who just wants to grow some veggies for his family, and it all goes awry! I love it. If anyone has some good audiobooks, give 'em to me.

Heroes:

Justin for overcoming so much, Paige for always amazing me, Anyone who will kill spiders for me.

My friends and family think I'm funny when I ask them.  However, when I say something especially clever, I don't get so much as a smirk.  I ask "Didn't you think that was funny?" and they sa...

Pill Poppers!

When I see someone throwing their heads back to take a pill, I just want to flick their adam's apple.  It doesn't help the pill go down.  Quite the opposite, I'm sure, because it closes the ...

5th Grade is Scandalous!!!

Now brace yourselves.  This is outrageous, literally. Paige lost her phone on Monday, somewhere between leaving the house and the end of the school day.  So, we looked for it, in the woods o...

Paige is the funniest kid I know!

Paige is hilarious!  We were milling about in Sandpoint last Saturday before her soccer game and came upon a restaurant.  There was a sign out front that said "Live Music Tonite!"  The ...

Pregnancy is quite awkward

I keep forgetting I'm pregnant.  It's very strange.  Considering I only have 4 weeks left, you think it would never escape my mind.  Sometimes I find myself stretching way more that my ...
