About Me

I have recently had a lot of big changes...

After living in and loving Andersonville (Chicago) for the past 6 years I realized I also love living by a lake just as much. So...I made the move to Fox Lake, IL in June. The move took me a bit by surprise because I found a job very quickly but from there everything fell into place. I live with my boyfriend John on the Chain of Lakes and we are having a great time exploring bars and restaurants. The major difference is that we now do our exploring by boat rather than by cab. We live right by the train so we can still jump on the Metra and get downtown within and hour to party with our friends – which is great because I love my city friends!

I still love live music just as much as always so if you know of a great live band that is playing let me know!

I also love cooking, traveling, camping, being outdoors, playing guitar, pub crawls, watching football, and doing so-co lime shots :)

My Interests


Recently I have found a new love for warm pretzles and spicy mustard...especially when washed down with an ice-cold boot of Daab beer!

I'd like to meet:

Any Badger fans we can tailgate with and anyone who loves exploring new restaurants as much as John and I do!

Music:

Everyone says they like it all....but I really do....except Techno. Live acoustic music is my favorite. I love going to live shows at local bars and venues. Bonus points if anyone has been to a late night show at Lakeview Lounge in Uptown. Too bad Lakeview Lounge closed a year ago...I'll miss it there. Recommendations for any of your favorite dive bars with live music would be appreciated. I now need to fill the Lakeview Lounge void :)

Television:

Sex and the City is my alltime favorite show....but I still watch the edited versions on cable tv - even though they aren't the same as the HBO versions. I also love watching football during the fall - GO PACKERS and BADGERS!

Books:

Mainly fiction. I love suspense novels...but "The Celestine Prophecy" is also another favorite book that I enjoyed reading - it's about fate and can be read with a couple different view points so if you've read it drop me a line and let me know your take on it.
