About Me

If you want to learn more about me, why not read my blog?Things that I will do when I become rich and eccentric:
~ Have a sink that beer and wine comes out of instead of water.
~ Rebuild the course of Double Dare, complete with that giant nose and the slime snot.
~ Build a life-sized Chutes and Ladders game. Who wants to come play?
~ Have a giant ball pit like amusement parks used to have before there were urban legends about kids getting poked with syringes.
~ Have a huge front porch with rocking chairs on it. I will learn to play the banjo and play it while rocking on my chair.
~ Get a salon hair-washing sink installed and hire someone to specifically come over to wash my hair and do that scalp massage thing.
~ Have a Rosie the Robot built especially for me to wait on me hand & foot.
~ Have one of those bookshelves that is actually a secret door.
~ Have a room built entirely of pillows.
~ Have a statue made in front of my house of a catloaf
