About Me

Here comes trouble...After contemplating whether I wanted to be found by those I knew, know, or want to know me, I decided what the hell.I like hiking boots, little black dresses, and mountain men.Once I was described as "...a classic beauty in a master Dutch painting." I'm not sure how true that is, but I love the sound of it.I believe diversity is essential and is what keeps the world alive. I believe in growing old with style and grace.In many situations, I tend to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.I feel the most comfortable in the woods.When I have to sit still, I tend to shake my leg and it seems to annoy the person sitting next to me.My latest moto is from the movie Last Kiss; 'Do whatever it takes. You can't fail, if you don't give up.'
