ReMeMber to do wHAt you cAn wHeRe you ArE with what you HaVe. (theodore roosevelt)
I'm down to earth with a huge heart. I have the most awesome friends and a cool job at the racetrack. The love of my life walks on four legs and has the cutest smile ever!! I enjoy being outdoors, listening to live music, keeping in shape, and trying new things. I love mornings, but hate getting out of bed. Coffee is one great invention! Followed by wine. And there's no better place than Austin to experience life right now!Gotta second? Send me a message. Life should be filled with happiness.
LiVe, lOvE, LauGh and BE HaPpy!

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.
Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick
Apples and Wine:Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Share this with women who are good apples, even those who have already been picked! Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with. "Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who holds your hand in front of his friends and shows you off to them when you're in sweats. Someone who thinks you are just as pretty without make-up as you are with. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you. The one who turns to everyone and says, 'That's her." Everything's fine in the end. If it isn't fine, it isn't the end. Take some chances. Tell the truth. Spend all your cash. Fall in love. Be random. Say I love you. Sing out loud. Laugh at a stupid joke. Cry. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Let someone know what they're missing. Laugh until your stomach hurts. Live life and smile while doing it... because it only happens once.


For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Interests


TRAVEL as much as I can!!!

I'd like to meet:


Music:

I loved TOOL before they were popular (I"m talking Opiate CD!) and Rage Against The Machine. I've mellowed out in more older years. I love Jack JohnsOn, Ani Di Franco, Blue October, Gnarles Barkley, Matisyahu, KT Tunstall, Tom Petty, The Frey, *Muse*, QuEEns of the Stone Age, Henry Rollins Spoken Word, and there's so much more!

Television:

There are so many better things to do with your time! But I do like to cuddle up on the couch with good company. That's an acceptable waste of time. ;)

Books:

I love to read. I'm usually up for anything. Memoirs of a Geisha, Norwegian Wood, The Portable Henry Rollins, Tuesdays with Morrie, To Kill A Mockingbird, poetry, theatre, My Friend Leonard, A Million Little Pieces (My Friend Leonard was even better!!).

Heroes:

Of course, my family is awesome despite their differences AND my friends rock (you know who you ArE!!). And everyone that shows strength through their actions!

Letting Go

Author Unknown To let go doesn't mean to stop caring;It means I can't do it for someone else. To let go is not to cut myself off...It's the realization that I can't control another... To let go is not...

Smile at Strangers

It's funny how life always seems to keep you in check.  It takes a sudden life-robbing incident to realize that life is too short.  I mean, we all hear the words and know it's true, but do w...

Learning to Let Go

Just when you think you've got it all figured out....you most definitely do not.  At times, you want to run and hide, but you know that you can't put your head in the sand.  You've got to r...
