About Me



» My husband Tracy and I have been together since January 3rd, 2004.

» We have two indoor house rabbits, Booey and Curly-Q.

I am a realist, and I believe being optimistic is just setting yourself up for disappointment. I hope for the best, but expect the worst. My faith in the general population is next to none, and it continues to decline on a daily basis. I'm a fairly happy person, but it doesn't take much to annoy me. I stress, I worry, and I change my mind a lot. I have mixed political views and I lack any extreme religious views. At times, I can be a control freak. But, I love those close to me. I have regrets just like everyone else. I am happy, but I'm only human.

I do not add bands, businesses, or people I don't know.
