About Me



Well, chances are I'm taller than you. Sometimes I think puppies are cuter than babies. I LOVE giant chewy sweet-tarts and diet cherry coke. I'm really good at ALL of The Price is Right games. One day, I will spin the wheel and then go on to win BOTH showcases. I'll keep you posted. If you've never been to Europe...put it on your "to do" list. I recommend San Sebastian, Spain. If you are ever in New York, eat at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. And last, but not least, help control the pet population...have your pets spayed or neutered.

My Interests

my cd collection. chocolate. clean sheets. pink hair. Joey's smile. the blue chair. Faith's "I Saw a Grown Woman Eat Her Own Booger" story, I can't hear it enough. cell phones that work. riding my bike to work but not back home. Duke basketball. backpacking in Europe. snow globes. family photos (old and new). sleeping in. kissing "differently". Corky. cooking/baking. 80's cartoons and tv shows. Living Etc. magazine. jeans that are long enough not to show my ankles when sitting down. my mom's laugh. sewing hippie dresses and pajama pants. Chardonnays with "tempting flavors of green apples and peaches and hints of honey and vanilla which enhance the rich, buttery finish". the sight and sound of my dad "pickin and grinnin". Chloe's sleepy eyes. Plinko. my grandma's handwritten recipes. the Peeper.

My name is Amanda. I don't like to be called "Sexy" or "Baby" by people that I've just met. Also, where do ugly people find such self-confidence??
