About Me


My significant other and I have been together nearly 12 years, but have yet to 'tie the knot'. I adore him-he is my best friend.
We have two kids: DJ is 8, and Skylar is 5. King Literal and Drama Queen; they are both sarcastic at times-no clue where they get that from.
As for me... most of you here know about me, and we all know this is tough, but for the benefit of this section: I'm a mom, I'm a sister, I'm a friend, I'm a dork. I'm introverted, I'm sarcastic, I'm intelligent, I'm liberal. I have a natural frown, I have a sense of humor, I have two great kids, I have a great guy. I love photography, I love a good book, I love when I can listen and not talk, I love when people underestimate me. I hate dishes, I hate GWB, I hate entitlement smokers, I hate hypocrites. I'm not a gossip, I'm not a 'typical girl', I'm not perky, I'm not as innocent as you think.
"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really...
And yet it all seems limitless."
~Brandon Lee

When you lose small mind you free your life

Ever actually sit and think about something and realize that it's not really the way you've been perceiving it at all?  Or just one thing happens and it hits you?  Maybe past exper...
