About Me

I would own a baby elephant if I could; if I did, I would wish it could fit in palm of my hand.I once sold gladiolas for 10 cents a piece out of my mother's garden, which resulted in meeting my best friend of twenty years and my mother laughing when I told her I did it because the pig in my bank was hungry.Dry socks on wet days make life worth living; embellishing the extent to which I love dry socks has gotten me in trouble before.I overuse parenthesis (which originates from the belief all comments should have a sidebar).I have a baby turtle named Petey who has learned to love me despite how little I clean his tank.I'm writing a memoir of my mother's life.I still believe in Santa Claus, secretly. Sometimes I have to stop to remember if ‘Claus’ has an –e at the end.I will be very careful that my kids don't eat lead paint.I overplay newly-discovered songs until I never want to hear them again.I have well-loved cowboy boots that have seen Prague and Barcelona in the same month. I have a new Resistol cowboy hat from Fort Worth that took me much too long to pick out.I love candy canes and peppermint patties, which is ironic because I don't like mint ice cream. I don't know how to start a new paragraph on this damn "About me" section.I just agreed to train for a triathlon with one of my very favorite people.I am in the market for a used kayak.I lived in Amsterdam for six months where I had an incredibly irrational fear that walking through the Red Light District would result in a heroine addict shooting me up and running away.Apparently I love "I" statements...
