About Me

I am a bona fide klutz, so get ready to see me run into, walk into, and/or knock over something. I'm usually the only one that ends up with the bruises, everyone else usually gets a good laugh (including me). I like going out with friends or just curling up with a good book. If I could get a coffee/caffeine IV drip, I would. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kinda girl, always hungry and always in need of sleep. I love to laugh, act goofy, and do little silly things. Once I figure out more stuff about myself, I'll let you know.

My Interests

Let's see ... random facts, the color blue, reading, history, sweets/candy (Swedish Fish, E.L. Fudge cookies, cheesecake and creme brulee),card games (especially spades and gin/gin rummy), relaxing with friends, music, crossword puzzles, trivia, cello (when I used to have mine), fingerpuppets, barbecues, board games, football (I'm a Pats fan), traveling, cooking (when I can get my lazy self to actually do it), and roller coasters.

I'd like to meet:
