It's not a fashion statement, it's a death wish...

About Me

I'm a little crazy, loveable, but crazy.
I'm married to my job.
I love kettle corn. I like to go to rock and roll shows.
I like to listen to loud music in my car.
I'm a sucker for a band with a piano, a keyboard, or a keytar.
I'm a vegetarian.
I like to drink coffee and read the sunday paper.
I also like to drink Margaritas outside and people watch.
I like to take walks around the pond down the street from my house.
I like to sleep a lot, but I don't get to that often.
I like to wear scarves.
I like to knit scarves too.
I think Michael Buble is dreamy.
I like to take impromptu road trips.
I prefer texting over phone calls, especially when I've had some cocktails.
I am a lover, not a fighter.
I only run when being chased.
I am an honorary member of a fabulous band named Rocket.
I'm a big fan of the city of Philadelphia...most importantly the bar- Tattoed Mom
