About Me

Well, I have been Kim for about 43 years. I have been out of high school for 25 years now. I feel light years away from who I was back then but then again I haven't really changed. I am married to Carl who is THE love of my life and I am still CRAZY for after all these years. I think he is the cutest, most charming loving man in the world. He is a complete package - smart, hilarious, mischievous, rugged, sweet, passionate, cool - I love his smile, sense of humor, and the fact that he understands my need to dance on Saturday nights and will always shake a leg with me. Shake it Babe!
I am blessed to be mom to my beautiful Monica, 21 and my gorgeous Carl Anthony "Uppy", 20. My sweet stepdaughter Tausha has also blessed my life. I LOVE my family. They are my life and inspiration. I know that I have a lot of unfinished business to take care of before I leave this planet. I hope that I am allowed the time to see these things through fruition. I'm working on it! I am excited about the blessings and additions that God has brought to my life so far this year. I am particularly excited that Rylee is here. She is a perfect, beautiful little bundle of cuteness with dimples to boot! (just check out my pictures, you'll see) My life is also blessed by Matto and Leo C. I love my parents and my siblings Brandon, Amy, and Dustin. I also have some sweetheart nieces and nephews ranging in age from 4 to 40.
I have learned that forgiveness is the most beautiful, healing concept on earth but the least used. Forgiving someone and moving on is liberating. Holding grudges holds your spirit down. Jesus forgives me, so I have to forgive others. Simple as that.
Camping is the most horrible concept in the world. I hate camping. I don't care if you have a trailer. Trailers are for old, boring, people. Nice hotels are the only way to travel. If you like to camp, go right ahead, have a great time, camp until you can't camp anymore. Just don't ask me because camping sucks.
**Please check out ONE.org - it is an amazing website that is really making things happen**
Loves - God's grace, weekends, dancing, java chip frapuccinos (light!), brown eyes, music, iced tea, shopping, Carl's smile, Las Vegas, babies, my hilarious brothers, lip gloss, wisdom, Uppy's hair, forgiveness, laughing with my sister, "good ice", intelligence, my mom's coffee, Monica's laugh, the fact that my dad will actually return fruit that does not meet his stringent criteria, Molly Cat aka Magalia Dionicia Traviesa Escalera, Louie the big-headed pitbull, and new car smell...hmmm... my car is already 27 months old...
Hates - camping, drama queens, depression, humidity, big hair, the term M.I.L.F., scales - they lie, waking up early, CLOWNS(!), pettiness, most pictures of me, people that get too wrapped up in reality shows, Bill Maher, my white legs, stupid people, and tap water

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Bono, Jerry Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien, Jim Rome, and Dr. G., Medical Examiner, Clinton Kelly and Stacy London from What Not to Wear and the cast from The Office. Sounds shallow but oh well.

I would also like to meet someone that can sit still when "One Nation Under a Groove" starts playing. Is there such a person?
