About Me

I'm just me... go to work at the same place every day, do the same stuff at my job every day, drive home the same way every day to the same cozy house with the same loving husband, same great daughter, same goofy dog and the same family past times... I like my "normal" life that is devoid of over the top drama! It has just enough organized chaos to keep me on my toes, enough love and friends to keep me happy, and enough suttle humor in the small things to keep me laughing. I'm lucky to have some of the greatest friends a person could ever have, to to be married to someone so thoughtful, caring, fun, and goofy, and to have a kid who I happen to think is one very cool and funny 12 year old. I'm not trendy, but I'm not out of touch with WHAT'S trendy. I like starbucks and sushi, but I'm not a yuppy. I like sports, but I'm not much of an athlete. I enjoy the countryside as much as the city, and appreciate them each for what the other doesn't have. I like being able to travel and go out and that my family is able to have a few nice things, but I know it's not all about money and possessions. I'm mostly silly and sarcastic, but am serious and sincere at the right times. I don't mind making a fool out of myself, but am careful not to make an ass of myself (at least i TRY not to!). I try to live my life so that my epitaph can read, "No Regrets."
