About Me

No longer a commuter - I now work 5 miles from home at Ocean Spray Cranberry!! :)I have a voracious appetite for literature, good coffee, endurance sports, crossword puzzles and dark chocolate. I'm married to an amazing guy who makes me laugh my ass off. I bought my wedding dress on ebay. I'm a marathoner - running is my greatest passion and what gets me out of bed at 4:30 in the morning. My sisters are my best friends. My favorite color is green. My favorite vegetable is broccoli. My favorite drink is whatever you'll buy me. I enjoy simple pleasures, I am a happy person. My long term goals are: make enough money to buy a plane so I can jump out of it whenever I want & run a marathon in all 50 states.

My Interests

Running, marathons, swimming, cycling, reading, crosswords, travel, watching football, chocolate

I'd like to meet:

Old friends :) ..

Television:

South Park, Family Guy, other funny stuff

Books:

I am a book addict. Like 2-3 books per week addicted. Too many favorite to list! Some authors I'm diggin on at the moment - John Irving (always), Hakuri Murakami, Ayn Rand, Vladimir Nabakov, Dostoyevsky, Augusten Burroughs, David Sedaris, Chuck Palahnik, Philip Roth, Jane Austen, etc, etc, etc, etc...

My Blog

Fate.... or something like that.

I'm a strong believer in fate. Well, maybe "fate" is a little strong. At the very least, there have been a lot of events in my life that have seemed to be pretty awful but in retrospect lead to wonder...

The most hideous/fantastic race tee ever..

This is a race tee that will not only find its way into my closet, but may need to have an entire wardrobe designed around it... not becuase I had a great race (23:32 5k) but because, well, it's just ...

Adieu, 2005!

I think pretty much every year is a big year when you're in your mid 20s, but 2005 was pretty jam-packed for me. The highlights (in semi-chronological order): *Got a great new job in a great new city...
