About Me

I started this page to keep people up to date on what is happening with me, but I don't update or blog often enough to make it effective. I am married 4 years to an amazing man, and have a beautiful 3 year old (I did it in the right order-- SURPRISE). I've been sober since 1992, and it saved my life. .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bill Clinton (not Hillary), Oprah (I have motives), and my boyfriend Barack Obama. Benicio Del Toro (haha)

Checking in-- not a great day

So I guess my first thought upon waking today was " I don't want to."  I don't want to get up this early.  I don't want to play Mommy.  I don't want to go to work and pretend like ...
