About Me

My Life this week When life hands you a lemon....say, OH YEAH I like lemons, what else ya got? - Henry Rollins I am a Christian. That makes mistakes. I used to be someone that I am not proud of. Luckily, I always learn from my mistakes...now I love my cat, moo...the best. I love Wii too, but Moo is my girl I LOVE to cook out of my Better Homes & Garden cookbook. I have made the Sangria, yum! I watch A LOT of television & read a lot too My boyfriend, Kevin, is the best. We dated in high school. First loves. & have been together for almost 3 years now. I am addicted to surveys. If you were my friend you would know that. I find them therapeutic. I get uncomfortably nervous about driving. I am beginning to think that might be some sort of disorder. Downtown Worcester scares me, way more than downtown San Antonio ever did. I have some self esteem issues. I am confident about my work, the relationships I have and my ability to kick butt in teen jeopardy, but not the real one. I like beer. I like all kinds of music from Christian, to old school punk, to James Taylor. I think anyone playing a guitar is hot. I have had the same friendships since forever. I don't really let anyone new in. I don't know why that is. There is one girl from high school that I still don't like...for really stupid reasons. I should get over it. I really believe in therapy. I was in the Air Force for 4 years. Now I would like to go back to school. In May. I change what I want to do daily. I just know that I want to help people. Which probably won't rake in the dough, but who cares. I take okay care of myself. I try to eat well & exercise...but I don't deprive myself of Chinese food. I despise the Yankees & The Colts My first concert was New Kids on The Block. I can pogo ball like a champ. I am the oldest of 7 from various ways. I find it funny that when you find Christians in the north, they are someone's parents. I wish that there were more up here. I like to spell correctly. I don't like it when people hold things that I did in my past against me. I am not that person anymore. I used to be able to sleep til noon. I now wake before 10, on the weekends. I get excited when my cat cuddles with me. Cows are my favorite animal. I don't go out with my friends enough. mostly because I don't like to drive. Weekends I spend with Kevin mostly. I rarely see him during the week. I think that there a select few who 'really' know me. And they would be surprised at who they are. I donate blood many times a year. I won't eat sushi... I am very thankful for my life.I like to win contests like these!
"I will not eat oysters. I want my food dead. Not sick -- not wounded -- dead." Woody Allen
