I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer and a future librarian. Currently I am a secretary.I love music! Just about any kind of music is okay with me, as long as it isn't hateful. Of course, I know what I like, but I don't limit it to any genre of music. I love to sing, even karaoke!I'm really shy, but I love people. It just takes me a while to warm up to someone. Say hi to me!

Aargh! Grad School!

Rest in Peace

My awesome great uncle Larry Fields died on Friday. He was a wonderful, talented, and positive person. He was 69. He will be sadly missed.

Barking?!?

As I was walking out of Jazzercise in my stinky workout clothes this afternoon, a man leaned out of a car and barked at me. I was so offended. What did he mean by that? Then, as I turned the corner to...

A Root Canal and St. Patrick's Day

Hello, friends. Well, I have never had a cavity and I am oh-so-proud of that. Not many people live to be 28 1/2 years old without holes in their teeth. As a matter of fact, in Guatemala, people were s...
