About Me

I'm a New Yorker at heart living in Rhode Island. The accent here gives me the creeps even after living here for 5 years... Hmm, what else? I'm a diehard YANKEES fan, which means only half of RI sides with me. I'm addicted to red wine and chocolate, I like to have both in copious amounts. I would rather speak Spanish than English, and do so often, especially to Matt, my non-Spanish-speaking boyfriend, just for kicks. I'm always looking for something new and exciting, which has led to MANY relocations in the past 5 years aaaaaaand I'm hoping to go back to school to finish up my degree in languages and education this year. Alrighty then....sk {position:absolute !important; top:0px; right:0px; z-index:9
