I am here for Friends

About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Do you want to know about me? Well here is the short and skinny. I love my family and friends! I was born in Fair Lawn NJ and my parents dragged me to the state of Florida in 1984 which I hate. I am a true Jersey girl and wish one day to move back. Maybe one day. I love the following: sitting at home on gloomy rainy days, cold weather, and autumn is my favorite time of year. Too bad I live in this crappy-hole called Florida so when it gets to 75 I put a sweater on and crank down the AC and pretend we have an ounce of cold air outside. I love Halloween and Thanksgiving (I cook an awesome dinner by the way...come and join us!) I had a great childhood and miss those times! Some great memories (of course all of them at my old house...on Berdan Avenue in Fair Lawn, New Jersey): apple picking with my dad in Connecticut, BBQ's at our house with all our family and friends, watching 4th of July fireworks at Memorial Pool/Park on grandma's lawn, sock ball wars and tonka truck racing with my brother in the basement, and always helping my mom decorate the house for Christmas. Also...the one thing I miss... our fireplace, and my secret playroom. (SIGH-SOB-BLOW-RECOVER)... ok moving on...Enjoy my old pictures of these times!
I am always up for a lunch date with my bestest friend Cindy which usually has us at Cheesecake Factory eating my ever favorite..."Chicken Madeira"...holy crap it is tasty! Now I enjoy relaxing at home or a day at the beach. I love laying on a raft in the ocean or putting my chair right up to water and smelling the salty air (probably the only good thing about Florida) I am easy going but I am a neat freak and high maintenance. I have a severe case of OCD when it comes to organization. I like my clothes to face "right" on the hanger and I have a STRICT "hands off" policy on the guest towels in my house...Wipe your hands on your pants when you visit!!!! Guest towels are for show only! (Thanks mom for this disease of cleanliness!) Overall...I am fun, laid back, and known for being a goof and just plain ol crazy! (One time at work, I dressed up like Howie Mandell for a game of Deal or No Deal...I was the host, bald head and all. sorry, the pictures were burned in a freak fire!) My nastiest habit has to be burping severely when you least expect it (especially after pizza and a pepsi). I also hate folding clothes and ironing. I am an advocate for my nationalities and am proud of where my family comes from. I love singing (mostly in my car), long drives, and I always need time away for myself! I love hanging with my friends, and just having fun. I love dancing and working out (kickboxing baby! C-Ya at LA Fitness Wellington, FL) I still live in 1986 (sometimes 1982) and wish I was back in 6th grade when life was easy! I will never grow up! I am 30 something and still want to play Twister, hide and seek, and I still go trick or treating! It's all good! Life is too freaking short! Live like a child and get paid like an adult is my motto! Funny enough, I work in the banking industry (since 1993. Someone actually trusts me to run, manage, and lead employees in bank branches with millions of dollars! I will say that I have led many employees to greatness and somehow managed to run a successful business...who would have thought! I totally failed math in High School, and have no degree whatsoever, but I guess I am a better "hands on" learner than I thought! The bottom line is, I just like relaxing and being with family, and having fun. Get this... Every Friday I have dinner with my mom and grandma...Olive Garden loves us! Hey!...It's a tradition what can I say. Finally, to know me is to know that I am a die-hard Depeche Mode fan...Ok...So...I think now you have all the facts on me!!!!

Just some thoughts

Well...I haven't written anything in a couple weeks....that is a good thing I guess, or does it mean I am bottling up again.  For those of you who know me, you know me as happy, vivacious, lively...

Another "F"ed up night!

12 years of me and you still don't get it.  You still don't understand!  Why is that?  Why does it have to be on your terms all the time?  Why can't you see what you are doing and ...
