About Me

By day, I'm a corporate whore at an insurance company.
But, I really come alive when I play in my band, Blame Betty!

I love Joan Jett! She's the reason I play guitar...

My child-free-by-choice lifestyle fits me well. I have a great husband who I'm crazy about! We have lots in common and love to spend time together, but we also each have our own unique hobbies. Mine happens to be rock & fuckin' roll, baby!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



I have a secret crush on Quist - that super hot cutie pie in the picture of The Shocker above, just to the left of Jennifer Finch. Sigh... cute boy.

My Blog

Rollin', rollin', rollin', oh my ass is swollen...

If you've been following along, you know I recently starting training for a 1/2 marathon in July. Which pretty much falls under the category of what the fuck did I get myself into. Today I ran 7.20 mi...

My guilty pleasure - the BEST scene in a movie...

The 'You're Gonna Love Me' scene in Dreamgirls. I've seen it, oh, 6 or 7 times now. I still cry EVERY time. Just fucking amazing vocals, performance and emotion. The youtube copy really doesn't do it ...

Hey, good people DO exist!

So, this morning I have what I call a "rock & roll hangover." That's the high I get the day after a show. I'm not much of a drinker, so it's nothing to do with booze. It's the "warm fuzzy glow" I get ...

Training for my first half marathon! Week one!

I've been an on-and-off exerciser my entire adult life, but only a casual runner. I've always mixed in aerobic classes, eliptical trainers, etc. I've run 5-6 miles at the very most. But this year I've...

Healing

Hello my friends, Well, it's been the worst week of my life. But the services were yesterday, and they seemed to give me a sense of peace. Last night was the first night I didn't feel huge amounts of ...

Grieving

Hello my friends, I wasn't going to let this out here, but I changed my mind. I know so many great people here, and I just don't want to try to keep this from you all. My husband Dave lost his father...

CANADA RULES!!

I almost can't write about my recent trip to Canada, because it was just so amazing  I couldn't possibly do it justice. The photos will speak for themselves, mostly.  But here goes! It starts wi...
