About Me

when i wake up in the morning i can't even think about existing unless there is a strong cup of coffee in my immediate future. i also would not wake up if it were not for my daughter. i mean that in the beautiful "life has no meaning without her" sense and also the "she is pulling hairs slowly, one by one out of my head until i get up" kind of way. i work in a great restarant with a great schedule, great boss, and great friends. i get to live my life and make a living at the same time....who gets that? i am totally obsessed with bad family tv shows, and BEER. I LOVE BEER!!!!!!! Im growing my own hops, and someday i dream of actually brewing. ahhh, someday. i love to play in the dirt, gardening. flowers, food, hops, my baby girl, my backyard, oh yeah, life is good........................."The man who hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted." William Shakespear
