About Me

Former San Franciscan trying to find herself again -- living in the middle of nowhere, MO at the moment. Single parent to an amazing 17-year-old daughter. Lived in a funky little trailer amongst some trees (until the reenactment of Twister), now renting a big old house, learning how to play bass, and working on a chick lit novel. Love classic cars, college basketball, garage sales & auctions. Exploring new restaurants and new recipes. Tired of hearing that I had a pretty exciting life, like my life is OVER NOW, and am working to get it jumpstarted. After 13 years in this small town in Misery (Missouri), am STILL "that girl from San Francisco".

My Blog

whew!

It's one of those days... where you hit the ground running, and don't stop to come up for air for hours. Couldn't stay asleep, so came into the office at 5:30 (yeah, a.m, workaholic am I)....

My job might be ending sooner than I thought, which sucks from the standpoint that we may not have a paycheck this week (just got informed there is no money for payroll). I am already prepared t...
