About Me

The little things in life make me the happiest; like how happy my dogs are when they wake up each morning or laughing uncontrollably or drinking a glass of good wine and watching an old movie. I tend to worry about things that I cannot control, but I am working on that. I think the beach and the mountains are equally awesome, and a cool breeze on a sunny day is indescribably fantastic to me. Blueberry pancakes make my heart happy, as do fingers running through my hair. I have the best family in the whole world, even if we are a little off. My friends are my heart. I have a huge weakness for dogs, except for the little yappy ones. I like riding with the top down. I know more about whiskey than you would think. I engage in thoughts of ridiculousness. My mind wanders. I love sleeping when it’s raining in the afternoon. I have a Christmas tree every winter. I think Charlie Brown is the best. I am a grateful soul.
"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person." ~Audrey Hepburn
