Chérie Amour

Well-behaved women rarely make history.

About Me

We packed up the children and moved to Colorado. We love it! I also get paid to schlep coffee to high-maintenance hipsters while laughing, singing and having a great time (all in my green apron, of course).
My husband is pretty much amazing. He's smart, funny and he can pretty much master anything he does. We have one 6-year-old son (who happens to be very intelligent and very funny) and a daughter who just turned 2 (she's my little cutie and happens to look identical to me as a youngster). Yep, we've got the whole package. As the shirts and hats say at REI: "Life is Good"!

My Interests

Family. Writing. Friends. Singing. I also enjoy cooking, golfing, driving my little brother all around God's green creation, going to church with my family and salsa dancing. Oh how I love to salsa dance!

I'd like to meet:

1. Intelligent people... are there any of you out there?
2. Anyone who can make me laugh is aces in my book!
3. Someone who might be interested in hitting some balls (golf balls, sickos!) 4. Others who enjoy sarcastic humor and think (and live) outside of the box.

Music:

Jeff and I share custody of the iPod. I pretty much listen to whatever it tells me while it's on "shuffle" mode. Don't get me wrong--I also have a "Chérie's bootay shakin' melodies" playlist as well. As for the "Jeff and Chérie's Love Songs" list, well, that one comes out quite frequently too.

Movies:

Anything that can make me laugh.

Television:

The Office. Arrested Development. House. Without A Trace.

Books:

My six-year-old reads lots of chapter books (he read Harry Potter Book 1 in one week). I've been reading the same books as him, and we've got a little book club thing going. We're currently reading the "Sisters Grim" series (Harry Potter-esque without the scary parts). Good times.

Heroes:

Optimus Prime, baby!

Lotion anyone?

I was talking to a friend in California this evening while I was sitting in the bathroom with 2-year-old as she bathed. As we're discussing how much of a handful kids can be, Chloe pooped in the tub...

Poop. Porn. Pong.

We have a laptop computer on our kitchen table. A few months ago, we found Trevor on ebay looking at Pokemon cards. When we asked what he was doing, he told us that he knows you can find stuff on ebay...

Be Still, My Heart (well, lets hope not)

It's 4am and I can't sleep. My heart has been weird for the past few years. It'll beat really, really fast than my throat feels like it's closing up and I can't breathe. This used to only happen once ...

Every Superhero needs a theme song (or, what Jeff and I have been up to)

Jeff wrote a blog a few months ago. In his blog, he asked if anyone wanted to jam via the Internet. It just so happened that our friend, Troy, had written a song with me in mind--my "theme" song, if ...

Is ignorance truly bliss? I dont know, you tell me.
