About Me

In January of 2002, I was reunited with my high school sweetheart, Dana. We've been married since Jan. 11, 2003. In March 2005, we bought our first home, and moved across the river into Proctorville, Ohio. Then, in June, we adopted a 7-week-old yellow lab. His name is Gus.

In December, we adopted our second child, a black kitty named Kramer.

On May 2, 2007, we became the proud parents of a REAL child, Andrew (named after his grandfather). Check out my blog for more about him.

My Interests

Shopping, Internet, travel, TV (addicted to TV).

Music:

I don't know if it's because I'm getting older (read: 30 is slowly creeping its way toward me), but I'm yearning for a 90s music comeback!

Movies:

"Shawshank Redemption," "Pretty Woman," "Pulp Fiction," actually all of Quentin Tarantino's movies (would love to meet him and take a little trip through his mind), "50 First Dates"

Television:

"Grey's Anatomy," "Scrubs," "Law & Order: SVU," "ER," "The Office," "Criminal Minds," "CSI: New York" (Yes, they're all NBC, FOX or CBS shows. Still waiting to get cable.)

Books:

Jennifer Weiner (that's WY-ner, not WEE-ner)

Andrew goes to New Jersey

The 9-hour trip to New Jersey to visit Dana's family turned into 11 hours. But, Andrew was really, really good until the last 20 minutes. He had had ENOUGH of that car seat! It really was a nice trip....

Andrew meets his great-grandmother

In early September, Andrew met his only great-grandparent, my dad's mom. She lives in northern Ohio on Lake Erie. I usually get to see her only once a year. I'm sure it was strange for her to have a b...

Happy birthday to me!

It's the last year of my twenties, and I'm feelin' fine. (Though Dana knows how I hate to grow older.) My perspective on so many issues has changed now that I've given birth. For one, I care much more...

First day back at work

Well, I survived my first day back at work, and that's as best as I can put it. Andrew woke me up about 3 a.m. with a cough, but he went back to sleep. Sadly, I didn't. He finally woke up about ...
