About Me

I make the world's best cheesecake. Seriously, I do.
People say that I complain a lot. I just think I am painfully honest. That, and I don't tolerate incompetency or ignorance all that well.
I used to teach English and Biology to 7th graders. Now I am a full-time mom. It's a little weird having a job I don't get a paycheck for, especially since I've been working most of my life. The new Gin Blossoms album is out and is awesome! You can hear it at www.thegins.com .
Or you can visit the Gin Blossoms forum.And if you want a boat loan , visit my husband's page at KeyBank. He doesn't give out loans, he just works there as some sort of internet marketing guru. I think his official title is "E-commerce manager".

Happy Anniversary to Me (ok, us)
