Work is scary at 10pm

About Me

I'm 23 and love all things pink, which in a way is a blessing for me, because I tend to buy anything and everything that supports breast cancer, as my grandmother who I love more than anything is a breast cancer survivor. I'm currently working as an assistant manager at a restaurant in Santa Monica. I have a fantastic boyfriend who I live with and who I love dearly. Family is important to me, and I have a great one. I'm in a good place in my life, better than I've been in several years, and I'm just taking the time to enjoy it. You only live once, you know?

My Interests

Likes: Chris, my kitty, the Spanish language (which I'm now almost fluent in courtesy of Luis), family and babies, my friends, things that are pink, reading a good book when it rains, scrapbooking like a fiend, Ford Mustangs (courtesy of my ex), pizza, when celebrities come into my restaurant, the beach, and hot dogsDislikes: Mean people, when it's too hot out, when I'm by myself at work when everyone's left (it's scary!), rude customers, and when celebrities think they are more special than other people.

I'd like to meet:

Oprah, and anyone who feels like they can contribute to the following:View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Heroes:

My Daddy for staying devoted to my mother this whole time, even though he must have been lonely, and probably legally could have gotten an annulment or something and found someone else.My Grandma, for giving up her life, and moving across the country to raise a whole new family when she thought she was done. And then when she was done with that, for fighting and surviving breast cancer.And my Uncle P, for serving his country when he was younger and doing the best he can to support those who serve now. And for sticking by his political beliefs. Although he's being a tool about Christmas. Just thought I'd throw that in.
