Chicago is an October sort of city, even in the Spring

About Me

I was born and raised on the Southwest Side of Chicago. Recently moved to the northwest side because that is the closest I could get my boyfriend to move into the city. Maybe one day we will move back to the south side... My boyfriend and I have been together for five years now, and we are very much in love. Our friends think we are sickening with our sweetness. I have a kittie named Pandora and she is my moose. I have a turtle who name is Ms. T (come on over for some perogies!). I had originally named the turtle Mr. T because I thought it was male, but upon her first trip to the vet, found out otherwise. I volunteer for PAWS Chicago and I love it. So much that I am now in school to become a veterinarian technician. So far, so good. Veggie head, animal lover, samurai
