About Me

I love my husband Stevie and my son Liam Yorke. I love sleeping in flannel sheets when it's cold and in those cool crisp cotton ones when it's so hot you sweat while standing still. I love my friends and my family and my enormous clumsy dog Ralphie. I write. I like to make things. I love shopping, home decor, fashion and jewelry, cosmetics, food preparation and consumption, fun on a daily basis. I am opinionated and truthful, outspoken and sincere. I love dessert, sushi, mexican food and reruns of 90210. I love being a mommy. I like to work with kids. I like to build and paint and make things pretty. I like to attempt singing. I like to do dance moves in the middle of everyday activities. I love to embrace life and to be surrounded by happy loving people.

My Interests

This is all I really need in life. Pet peeves: flakeism, dishonesty, and invented words, besides my own. Oh, yeah, plus sports watching, poor grammar, and unhappy people who are determined to spread their plague.

Music:

GBL will start a music revolution. And my bearlike counterpart is their John Lennon =)Seriously, if you haven't seen a live show, you are sorely deprived.

Movies:

Yes. I'm serious.

Television:

Heroes:

Wonderings (Wanderings) of the Tuesday mind

The IT guy at work walks in with his two Mormon assistants. They're both pale white, pressed in khakis and polo shirts, cocky in that "I'm going to heaven, whether you are or not" sort of way. And wh...

Fiona sold her soul to radio demons

Okay, so, being the picky music person that I am, it is rare to discover a new album I really, really like. Fiona Apple has been one of my faves since her first album Tidal came out in 1997 or so. And...

Tribute to the Untimely Departed

Life turns regular people into amalgams- harmonic mixtures of encounters and circumstances. Relationships shape us into variations of those we admire, envy, respect. I look at my feet, abused from ye...

Superfluous Lovin' for the Compadres I so Cherish

Another Famous Disclaimer

Okay, so the past few weeks have been by far the craziest and most stressful EVER in the world. And I haven't posted new writing in a while...been too busy dying and trying not to show it. Guess what,...
