I am here for Friends

About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
As my best friend once said, “You are a MASS of contradiction!” Man, was she dead on. I’m a bleeding-heart liberal married to the most charming, hilarious Republican around. 99% of the time I’m upbeat and smiling, yet I adore in a way that defies words the beautiful melancholy of a Patty Griffin or Counting Crows song. Then again, if you drive home on 290 or MLK you’re very likely to see me singing Kelly Clarkson at the top of my lungs. My nightstand is littered with books by David Sedaris, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and back copies of Lucky. Check out my foodie blog at Slightly Cheaper Than Therapy"For it is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical, will live the relation to another as something alive..." ~Rilke~

My Interests
